Look, somehow I escaped the fate of this life I lead

The worst the streets, she tried to kill me and my wife to be

Black widow, silk sheets and a satin pillow

This california king loved you like a sack of indo

Empty patron bottles and a pack of mentos

Master suite frigerator full of incidentals

Everyday we have a ball like the blond bimbo

Talk to her like a shrink and fuck her like a nympho

And it can be as simple as it seems

If you never doubt yourself, and learn from everything you see

No wishing on a star can turn your life into a dream

You could walk on water just don't look down at your feet

Look, told this world I was a star I'm gonna need a stage

Cause life is short and talk is cheap so fuck what people say

When I was 12 a crazy lady told me lead the way

I shed a tear cause it was real, this water never straight

Now every second is a classic, when nothing last

Gotta take a moment and appreciate the fact that

This world is turning faster and faster

And once you found the real it's hard to tolerate the plastic

I ain't no christian, ain't no catholic but

I believe God gonna shine his light on everyone that never had shit

I need some answers to these questions that I'm asking

We used to be connected, who detached us

We used to be respected, now they laughing

We've turned into possessions with no passion

How we go from the best to less then average

We used to be connected, who detached us

But no collective identity, it's every man for himself

We need a black mafia

Look, ruthless crip on some stupid shit,

To vale and that ruthless shit

I think too much tv is what ruins kids

When homosexual activists they influences

We need community centers that teach the music biz

That way we learn to retain ownership on some jewish shit

Don't take no hand out, you built it is more lucrative

And out of everything that I spoke, this the truest shit

You get abused long enough, you start abusing shit

She flipped the script and now your woman calling you a bitch

You got some problems in the house that only you can fix

And if he was a kid that grew up with it even you would split

He told the world he was a star and he gonna need a stage

Cause life is short and talk is cheap so fuck what people say

When he was 12 a crazy lady told him lead the way

He shed a tear cause it was real, this water never straight

Now every second is a classic, when nothing last

Gotta take a moment and appreciate the fact that

This world is turning faster and faster

And once you've found the real it's hard to tolerate the plastic

I ain't no christian, ain't no catholic but

I believe God gonna shine his light on everyone that never had shit

I need some answers to these questions that I'm asking

We used to be connected, who detached us

"Death is the destination that we all share.

No one has ever escaped it.

And that is, as it should be.

Because death is very likely the single best invention of life.

It's life's changing that clears out the old,

To make way for the new.

Right now, the new is you.

But someday, not too long from now,

You'll gradually become the old and be put away

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life.

Don't be trapped by dogma which is living with the

Results of other peoples thinking.

Don't let the noise of others screaming drown out

Your own inner voice.

And most importantly, have the courage

To follow your heart and intuition

They somehow already know what you truly want to become.

Everything else is secondary.

Stay hungry. Stay foolish.

It was their farewell message as they signed off.

And now, I wish that for you.

Stay hungry. Stay foolish.

Thank you all very much."
