El Michels Affair & Black Thought

Alter Ego
'Round the age of thirty-five, I began to lose my drive I was wasted, chasin' time as if I was losin' my mind If you're listenin', there's a way to make it to that other side When you're driftin' and you need somethin' upliftin' in your lives Take my eyes, all this blue and black and ebony inside They done cried 'cause they seen too much to ever be surprised Then they dried, used to be so full of light and damn near died Searchin' for thеm whens and whys, tyin' up loose ends and odds Sins of minе, crimson tides, close family and friends of ours You decide, said I probably should forget my foolish pride And my sneakers made of gasoline while tippin' through this fire Listenin' to this choir, asked a simple question, "Who is I?" I perfected imperfection, I've dealt with debt collection All my demons, I respect them, I'm a breathin' intersection On the crux of my redemption, not to mention reinspired Lookin' out for me and mine since I told my alter ego goodbye Bye-bye Bye-bye (Bye-bye) Bye-bye (Bye-bye) Bye-bye (Bye-bye) Bye-bye (Bye-bye) Yo, when I was runnin' on empty, that emptiness would tempt me And I felt like everything, even my shadow worked against me I sit there in the mirror, starin' at myself intensely Letras de cancionesThinking, "I should act my age, shit, I'm approachin' half a century" Accidentally, I be mentally taken to my point of entry And shown the bigger picture like I'd watched a documentary I decided if I'm ridin', I'm gon' do it positively Undeniably, sobriety's influenced my delivery In a world of flowers, where heaven's beauty and hell's power Money that smells sour, bats in a bell tower That's who you lose interest in after the first hour Teachable memories that I found resound louder Than a bomb, losin' track of a reason to correspond When your conscience kick you in the ass like a chorus line On the crux of my redemption, not to mention reinspired Lookin' out for me and mine since I told my alter ego goodbye Bye-bye Bye-bye (Bye-bye) Bye-bye (Bye-bye) Bye-bye (Bye-bye) Bye-bye (Bye-bye) From Letras Mania
