And I hope I never hear you say

Said I hope I never hear you say

"Turn that shit down, I can't stand it

That lyrical bandit

Stole the thoughts from out my head, and put them on a canvas"

Couldn't have said it any better

Oh, the words fall smooth like a free-falling feather

It was never always happy as can be

Had to sprout myself a tree from some tiny little seeds

And dug 'em deep, and let 'em grow

That old banjo, and a saxophone for my soul

And that was the first time that I got high

The first time in my life, I felt alive

1992, can't even tie my shoes, but I could dance

Strutting to the beat, a mummer in the street

Was my first romance

All I wanna do is just make tunes to sing to you

All I wanna do is just make tunes to sing, to sing

To everyone I know, everywhere I go

Maybe we could take two seconds to think about

Life, every night, right before you lose sight

Thank the Lord got you feel alright

Yeah, I, you feel alright, you feel alright

Ye-e-eah

And I hope I never hear you say

"Turn that shit down, you're driving me insane"

Gotta thank the tune that gave me my name

'Cause I never once heard them say

"Turn that shit down, you're driving me insane"

Ever since the fourth grade

When I got my hands on a brass, and I took the stage

Fight in the night as I melted in the light

Took my stand upon the chair, and played the solo just right

Caught up in the attic, found myself my first fix

Started strumming sound, and humming, got myself addicted to

The good vibrations, the healing of the nations

The g-g-g-g-g-good v-v-v-v-vibrations

Didn't have a clue 'til 2002

My first show was in the basement

Scared as I could be, a suspect on the scene

I hid my face, and

Pray for it to pass, the glory did not last

I don't want to be famous

Just rocking in the streets is mighty fine by me

As long as I make my payments

And I relax,'cause working is wack, yeah, working is wack

I reminisce, I reminisce about the past, so

[?]-flicking, bottle-twisting memories that were so vivid

Rocking house, don't worry, fearless, [?]

Striking out with younger women, never knew, just had it with them

Giving all I got to give 'em, didn't know they wouldn't listen, no

But now they listen

Oh, now they listen

Yeah-e-e-eah

And I hope I never hear you say

"Turn that shit down, you're driving me insane"

I wanna thank all of you who know my name

And I pray I never hear you say

"Turn that noise down, you're driving me crazy"

I wanna ask all of you to spell my name

And I hope you it'd make my day
