I never knew that a kid like me 
Could take his mic around the world and flash the big S.D. 
And rock the masses, from Madrid to Calabassas 
Tijuana, Mexico, bootleg demos in Tokyo 
They know me though, 'cause I be puttin' in work 
Commit my life to rebirth, well respected, 'cause that's my word 
I'm sure you heard, about a new sound going around 
She might have left my hood, but she was born in my town 

We rep. the South, so what you talking about 
I'm not running off my mouth, I know this without a doubt 
'Cause if you know these streets, then these streets know you 
When it's time to handle business, then you know what to do 
Me and my crew, we stay true, old skool or new 
Many were called, but the chosen are few 
We rise to the top, what you want? Just in case you forgot 
Rush the stage, grab my mic, show me what you got 

b-section: 
You didn't know, thought we was new on the scene 
Well, it's alright! It's alright! 
I know you know, I see you smiling at me 
Well, it's alright! It's alright! 

chorus:

So much to say so little time for me to explain the way I feel 
You only see things the way you want to see them 
It makes sense to you all these things you do 
You got it all figured out while everyone is confused 
How do you do it? 
In your mind I'm just blind 
You're right all of the time 
If I think for myself, I guess I'm way out of line 
I'm not who you are 
I'm so sorry 

chorus: 
I can't do anything right 
You don't know me, stay out of my life 
Kick me while I'm down, I want you to 
I can't be like you 
Don't want to be like you 

No matter what I do it's never good enough 
I give all that is me; still it's never enough 
So, why try? I give up.

Everyday is a new day
I'm thankful for
Every breath I take
I won't take you for granted (I won't take you for granted)
So I learn from my mistakes
It's beyond my control
Sometimes it's best to let go
Whatever happens
In this lifetime
So I trust in love (so I trust in love)
You have given me
Peace of mind

CHORUS:
I feel so alive
For the very first time
I can't deny you
I feel so alive
I feel so alive
For the very first time
And I think I can fly (fly)

Sunshine upon my face (sunshine upon my face)
A new song for me to sing
Tell the world
How I feel inside
Even though it might
Cost me everything
Now that I know this
So beyond, I can't hold this
I can never
Turn my back away
Now that I've seen you (Now that I've seen you)
I can never look away

Repeat chorus
