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 okay 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 goodnight 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 okay 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 okay 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
