[Chorus: sample]

All my life I've been a lonely man

Teaching people who don't understand

Even though I try my best

I still can't find no happiness

[Verse]

Yeah

I'm stuck between a rock and a hard place

I don't wanna live to bust a nut and be a nut case

Or empty head with a smart face

Or getting faded ignoring the pain that my heart face

I've been sharing insight, I'm tired of lying

I've been tryna live‚ fuck it‚ I'm tired of trying

Living on the outside‚ inside I'm dying

And describing my life it's like it's an island

It's so beautiful but so lonely

I'm so beautiful but so lonely

Even the closest people are so far

And to tell the truth, they don't know me

I think to hide the truth is like to hide the self

I think the book of life is never by the shelf

I think the All is me 'cause I feel by myself

I think I search for God to try and find myself

[Chorus: sample]

All my life I've been a lonely man

Teaching people who don't understand

Even though I try my best

I still can't find no happiness

[Verse]

Yeah, yeah

Seems so out of touch‚ out of reach

I done spent a lot of time tryna preach

I'ma spend a lot of time on retreats

I'ma spend the summer time on the beach

We don't have a lot of time but instead

Niggas get a lot of time 'cause of feds

I think spending a lot of time a cell

Is like spending a lot time in your head

Just a prison of the mind and a prison by the blue boys

Niggas trapped 365/7/24

We see the effect, are we gonna find the true cause

Underneath the lies are we gonna find what's true for us

And the wonders that will do for us

Ain't no power that's been took from us

There's more power when you grew from the concrete

Than the power when you grew from the dust

[Chorus: sample]

All my life I've been a lonely man

Teaching people who don't understand

Even though I try my best

I still can't find no happiness

[Bridge]

All my life I've been a lonely man

Teaching people who don't understand

Even though I always try my best

I can't seem to find no happiness

[Outro Chorus]

All my life I've been a lonely man

(All my life I've been a lonely man)

Teaching people who don't understand

(Teaching people who don't understand)

Even though I always try my best

(Even though I always try my best)

I can't seem to find no happiness

(I can't seem to find no happiness)
