Do you believe it's meant to be?
This reality we're dealing in now
And the beauty that we speak
Its exponential knowledge unknown
Hey,
Go be who you're meant you be yah
I ain't standing in your way
I got my own discretion on prescriptions
That addiction just masked the pain
I got to stop reaching for the outside
Got to keep it focused, keep it humble with pride
The same tactics towards the self I feel
Friends family and love is all that's real
The rest is intended to satisfy my mind
chorus:
Do you believe it's meant to be?
Living such a clear life and now I can breathe
Do you believe in mystery?
Where beauty is all I see around me
Do you believe it's meant to be?
Living such a clear life and now I can breathe
Do you believe in history?
Where beauty is all I see around me
If i don't need nothing to make me feel that way
Now we got back to basics
Got it out my head
Through a crowd of faces
Where I used to feel like they were confronting me
Now i feel like they got my back but my head's still cloudy
When the pills ain't sinking in
I can never sleep therefore I go for the pen
Kush rolled up, with my whisky and sins
This type of therapy makes no sense to me now
If it never satisfied these times
chorus
If I don't need nothing to make me
Feel that way
Feel that?
Feel that way...
Out of all the things that satisfy my mind
If it's intended to satisfy my mind, then satisfy it
Happiness
Let's try
This is just a guess but I
Feel that life's filled with pride
With the fight to inspire
To be greater
To be faster
To be better
To be you
To surrender to the fight at the end of the night
To break the other side to satisfy my mind
chorus
If I don't need nothing to make me feel that way
