'm in a different kinda world a different kinda circumstance
if you stood in my shoes you would understand
that it ain't so easy for me, to just uproot my things and leave
i know we been trying
to keep this thing alive
and i know it's been daunting
waiting for me to come
and i know what your thinking
i'm just here messing about
but i know that we're strong enough
it's just gonna take some time, cuz
i'm in a different kinda world a different kinda circumstance
if you stood in my shoes you would understand
that it ain't so easy for me, to just uproot my things and leave
some years ago
i was trippin out
tried to find my way
end up dipping out
it was a breathe of fresh air to me
just to find myself some sanity
gen i was so young
and so dumb
so full of it
but so humbled
by the chance to live
the people that i'd meet and the places i'd see
i had a change in mind
a change in time
a change in my rhyme
things started fallin in line
all that i needed was front of me
like i was living in peace and harmony
here we are now
where do we go from here
i need a sign to come
so it could be clear
until that day comes i think i'll stay still
keep it planted, follow my hearts will
it's too late for me to turn around
with so many things going down
i don't ever want to let it go
