the meaning of life

Its not about the friendships

Not about the movement

Not about the cotton mouthed

Treks for amusement

 

Its not about the lessons

Its not about improvement

Its not about the common ground

Not even bout the music

 

Its all about the truth

In a world so undemanding

All about our few little pearls of understanding

you could lose before you play

cause you aint ever played this game yet

but if you werent born today

you're had some time to get acquainted

 

to the way that

the world works

now we got some lies in our pockets

and we been tryin to stop em

from taking our minds off of all the fire and smoke

and we been kind of obnoxious

learning to hide our misconduct

behind the jokes

 

were all just tryna cope

with our ignorance

and deal with our needs

but man there's so much fear and so much greed

an in the mirror all i see

is a madman lickin his plate

wishing for the system to change

 

thats not productive is it

im another simple

cog in a machine

a product of the nausea

feeding my body what i think it needs

not a listener

but please speak to me

I got a couple blisters

on the hunt for human decency

 

now i'm slipping through the cracks of my philosophy

I'm sure to pay the price for my havoc if God is watching me

I'm filling up my pockets with little trinkets and souvenirs

I don't wanna ever forget what we all are doing here

 

Its not about the friendships

Not about the movement

Not about the cotton mouthed

Treks for amusement

 

Its not about the lessons

Its not about improvement

Its not about the common ground

Not even bout the music

 

It's all about the truth

It's like some kind of medicine to seal the wounds

A little bit of honesty and now I'm feeling new

I'm being real with you

I don't like holding back

so I'ma keep looking for proof

until we close the gap

 

I'm getting older fast

I still got lots to discover

I wear my soul on my sleeve and

hand off my heart my lover

I try to see the truth

like any decent guy

But even I know I'm not free of all my sweetest lies

 

yes we disguise ourselves

cause we despise ourselves

and we ain’t capable of change

so we just lie to ourselves

and then we lie to each other

until were drowning in guilt

and then it finally crumbles

this lovely tower we built

 

but im not proud of my skill

to spin a web of deceit

the fight to keep yourself in line

is truly never complete

and now I‘m feeling so divine

but that’s no credit to me

just all the people in my life

expecting better from me

(yuh)

 

No more giving in to madness and hypocrisy

I won’t be a stain on this planet, no ma‘am that’s not for me

I've been tryna learn to be truthful but I was born a myth

Now I finally know what's important

 

You see

Its all about the friendships

all about the movement

all about the cotton mouthed

Treks for amusement

 

Its all about the lessons

Its all about improvement

Its all about the common ground

all about the music

 

but most of all about the truth

 

Yeah it's all about the truth
