I believe when someone passes away
Either a star is born, energy so pure
That it creates new worlds
Or as the soul releases
Shatters into pieces
Becoming free flowing thoughts
For my mental thesis
Maybe we just don't understand
The spirits that still walk the land
Or whatever the case
I believe that we all still remain
To share the same space
So dad, I know you're listenin'
How you been?
Oh, I'm doin' fine, just passin' time
Submerged in sin sometimes I take a bath
And just get all dirty again
I try to cleanse my mind, cleanse my soul and get in
Into that place you've been
No, I'm not tryin' to rush anything
I just wanna visit you because I miss you
So what you tryin' to say?
My imagination been wild since I been a child
And since you're laughin' then
I take it that good things are happenin'
The day I learned you were gone
A new star was born
Distant voices fill my mind
Said look up in the sky
And when I did there you were
Well, I'm sure you already know this
I'm a big pop star
And my pops is a star (ha ha)
No, you really are
Sometimes I feel like an anus
I kinda made you a little famous
Always spillin' my guts
Explainin' to these people who think I'm nuts
Told them how you and moms knuckled up
My excuse for being such a disrupt
Yeah, they sure did
They called you an abusive drunk
Sorry, I didn't realize the media would run with it
But now I know and sometimes I try to have fun with it
The day I learned you were gone
A new star was born
Distant voices fill my mind
Said look up in the sky
And when I did there you were
What did you say you wish to be free
Been here all this time because of me
And on august 16, 2001
Anything that I wish to release
Release? I see.
First of all I give you my thanks for preparing me
To be open and free
I release my mind releasin' my soul
Release the courage to break the mold
Release my record 20 million sold
Release my pops you're free to go
Create a new galaxy, yes dad
You'll still be right next to me
The day I learned you were gone
A new star was born
Distant voices fill my mind
Said look up in the sky
And when I did there you were
The day I learned you were gone
A new star was born
Distant voices fill my mind
Said look up in the sky
And when I did there you were
Lisa left eye lopes
Breathe

Woman of my own and tranquil key
No I'm not just the l out of tlc
Songstress for the longest
Felt more adappa as a rappa
Start to make what it seems
It's more mind over matter
Have fun
Comin' with beats & rhymes
But it's not so sweet in this light of lime
Sometimes when you make it people get mad
Throw buckets grab, backs get stabbed
It was a hard struggle, meaning shit
Now it's hard just tryin' to juggle this, among shit
So people see the smile
All the while I have an inner child
That's cryin' denial (cry in denial)
Cryin' no smile, cryin' with style of beguile
In piles in aisles of niles
Meanwhile seem so senile, fakes monsters
I'm docile, fragile
I show gentile smiles, I take it a mile
People don't see the truth, in this booth
Under my tongue, over my tooth (ah-ooohh)
Eight nine spoof of my inner youth
Innocence
So just close your eyes
And relax your mind
As the sounds dig in your brain
Now don't it feel so strange
So just close your eyes
And relax your mind
As the sounds dig in your brain
Now don't it feel so strange
Just breathe and let it go (let it go)
Just breathe and let it go (let it go)
It seems right, do the math
Sportin' laughs, bubble baths, autographs
Awards and claps
The glistenin' only comes if people listenin'
But to a lyricist, chastising conniving, criticists
Gotta earn your bliss, unchill your wrists
I know you mince, add bills to rent
So now you owe me
That's why I'm so into it
This tapestry
Put you abstract, non-skilled folks can't see
I hinted at them, add tracks
Don't care if you're mad at
I speak the past
I speak rash spirits
Universal, helped my lyric rehearsals of the here's
Become an adult from peers, much fears, such tears
Scorned from revelations dawn
Things I do like, morning lawns
I'm morning poems
That now yawnin' on
They're not spawning wands (they're not spawning wands)
This here wand has a magic stick
Throat-wise called the larynx
Helps me spill it, my utter of a mind
I milk it
So that it hits your back with spiritual parmalat
I farm the black
Spirit staff, spirit staff, spirit staff
So just close your eyes
And relax your mind
As the sounds dig in your brain
Now don't it feel so strange
So just close your eyes
And relax your mind
As the sounds dig in your brain
Now don't it feel so strange
Just breathe and let it go (let it go)
Just breathe and let it go (let it go)
So just close your eyes
And relax your mind
As the sounds dig in your brain
Now don't it feel so strange
So just close your eyes
And relax your mind
As the sounds dig in your brain
Now don't it feel so strange
Just breathe and let it go (let it go)
Just breathe and let it go (let it go)
