Anybody That I've Known

In my past

I’d wish for something different from what's within my grasp

Now I've grown

I wouldn't trade my world with anybody that I've known

As a child

I’d try to find a way to be OK with how I smile

Now I've grown

I wouldn't trade my world with anybody that I've known

Anybody that I've known

Look at my face

So many miles I can’t complain

I won’t complain, I don’t complain

I might complain, but still told the truth

My water stay running, but my food don’t move

I make a size 12 footprint

Make love to my wife, make music with my real friends

My voice make enough noise for the books

Then I hunt these woods to catch dinner for my children

Got me dreaming I could reach through the phone

And kiss the family good night then sleep like a stone

Hotel, motel, feel at home if you play a little Nina Simone

Don’t quit your day job, this is my day job

It won’t stop a single raindrop

I gotta get money to purchase a space pod

Then fly up to heaven in person and thank God

In my past

I’d wish for something different from what's within my grasp

Now I've grown

I wouldn't trade my world with anybody that I've known

As a child

I’d try to find a way to be OK with how I smile

Now I've grown

I wouldn't trade my world with anybody that I've known

Anybody that I've known

I’m all about the sarcasm and optimism

I’m kinda like a bumper sticker

Listen, you’re kinda like an artist, you got the vision

Looking at the mirror like it’s competition

And it’s always trippin’, but you’re not intimidated

We all tryna stay alive and innovative

Everybody aiming at the face of similar limitations

We all cut from the same pavement

If you and I are gonna search through this universe together

First gotta desert the center

Some of us will be mad at the world forever

And some of us don’t even curse the weather

Whether or not I gave it everything that I got

It won’t stop a single raindrop

But when it finally wash my finger-paints off

I’m tryna make sure it don’t spell my name wrong

In my past

I’d wish for something different from what's within my grasp

Now I've grown

I wouldn't trade my world with anybody that I've known

As a child

I’d try to find a way to be OK with how I smile

Now I've grown

I wouldn't trade my world with anybody that I've known

Anybody that I've known
