Three years gone, comin' back strong
House in the hills, Beverley Hills
You can't get a thrill
Hold back resistance
Don't need assistance
So follow me babe, you can't go wrong
You know babe I'm comin' back
I'm comin' back strong
I'm comin' back strong
I lived so good, too good, that's Hollywood
I've been the fool
But that ain't cruel
If you want me
You can have me baby
You can take me
If you want me baby
If you want me
You got to pay the price
If you want me take my advice
I'm comin' back strong
One friend in the city, now ain't that a pity
Everybody loves ya, everybody leaves ya
They all leave ya sometime
Hold back resistance, don't need assistance
So follow me babe
So follow me babe, cos I'm back strong
Comin' back strong, you know, comin' back strongCommon:
After bein' 25, you know, just trying to survive in the world
Bout to have a little boy or baby girl. Who knows?
Anyway, just when you start gettin that little age and experience to you
You start thinkin about stuff...tryin to make the right moves
So bust it out, this is what I was thinkin, check it
Yo, the education of the Lon-chicka-Lonnie Lynn
Began, began with time
Bein my bloodline is one with the divine
In time brotha, you will discover the light
Some say that God is Black and the Devil's White
Well, the Devil is wrong and God is what's right
I fight, with myself in the ring of doubt and fear
The rain ain't gone, but I can still see clear
As a child, given religion with no answer to why
Just told believe in Jesus cuz for me he did die
Curiosity killed the catechism
Understanding and wisdom became the rhythm that I played to
And became a slave to master self
A rich man is one with knowledge, happiness and his health
My mind had dealt with the books of Zen, Tao the lessons
Koran and the Bible, to me they all vital
And got truth within 'em, gotta read them boys
You just can't skim 'em, different branches of belief
But one root that stem 'em, but people of the venom try to trim 'em
And use religion as an emblem
When it should be a natural way of life
Who am I or they to say to whom you pray ain't right
That's who got you doin right and got you this far
Whether you say "in Jesus name" or Hum do Allah
Long as you know it's a bein' that's supreme to you
You let that show towards others in the things you do
Cuz when the trumpets blowin, 24 elders surround the throne
Only 144,000 gon get home
Only 144,000 gon get home
Only 144,000 gon get it baby
Chorus Cee-Lo:
I've lived and I've learned
I have taken and I've earned
I have laughed, I've cried
I have failed and I have tried
