Want to Be歌詞

[00:16.80]There's this feeling, I've been chasing
[00:18.51]I've got leads on, its location
[00:20.31]It changes form every time I face it
[00:22.38]Only appreciated when it's gone
[00:24.34]Taken for granted like it’s etched in stone
[00:26.20]But liberty ain't strong any wrong break it
[00:28.15]Placed in, my arms my controls in cages
[00:29.56]'Tween a rock and a hard place and they say move on
[00:32.27]That's what I'm trying to do, a miracle to perform
[00:34.33]But you can't make that without an eyebrow raising
[00:36.25]People want your magic for their own ovation
[00:38.49]When you're in full bloom is when the beehive swarms
[00:40.56]And the time I've wasted, trying to fit in norms
[00:42.63]People like me more when I pretend I'm basic
[00:44.49]But what do I want, I practiced patience
[00:46.71]And right then and there it dawned
[00:48.31]I just want to be happy
[00:52.12]I just want to be free
[00:56.15]I just want to be left alone
[01:00.38]I just want to be me
[01:04.39]What in the world are you looking for
[01:06.92]Can't a young man get money on tour
[01:08.83]Live in Brooklyn buildings pre-war
[01:10.94]With a name that don't make you think of C4
[01:13.28]High ceiling apartments
[01:14.44]No ceiling on my living I ain't giving up options
[01:15.44]Love without a limit is the mission accomplished
[01:18.20]Don't expect to get it without wetting of armpits
[01:20.25]I sweat these pores
[01:21.50]In this American scheme a picket sign to a fence
[01:23.36]They want to kick me out the country as a line of defense
[01:25.31]See me, I'm from the country and I'm proud of my ends
[01:27.37]And even though you try to shun me you ain't shrouding intent
[01:29.44]I’m just a man with a vision in a tunnel with hit-men
[01:31.15]Trying to shoot the lightbulb because they thought I was twitching
[01:33.44]Got a few ideas, wrote them down in a list
[01:35.44]Let me say them now before I forget them
[01:37.19]I just want to be happy
[01:40.85]I just want to be free
[01:45.04]I just want to be left alone
[01:48.91]I just want to be me
[01:54.63]I don't believe in a promise
[01:55.78]Unless it's one I made myself
[01:57.66]'Cause there is no denying the facts
[01:58.76]If I'm the only accomplice
[01:59.77]And rarely have I courted for help
[02:01.46]I ain't trying to monstrous
[02:02.45]I just want month's rent
[02:03.36]A little something extra I ain't hoarding the wealth
[02:04.88]'Cause 99 percent of us is trying to get success
[02:07.33]That 99 percent of us was already dealt
[02:09.34]No trophy on the mantle but I got a mantle
[02:11.31]When mama couldn't pay the power I would grab the candles
[02:13.22]I'm just thankful I can channel that to block tangle
[02:15.33]Steering straight & I don't hesitate to park an angle
[02:17.29]I'm just trying to turn a smirk to a smile
[02:19.91]Restricted to allow
[02:20.52]All while keeping my distance from the crowd
[02:22.16]And that may change along the road I pave
[02:24.03]But today right here and now
[02:25.74]I just want to be happy
[02:29.51]I just want to be free
[02:33.48]I just want to be left alone
[02:37.46]I just want to me
[02:42.15]I just want to be happy
[02:45.90]I just want to be free
[02:50.00]I just want to be left alone
[02:54.05]I just want to me
