[Verse]
Another one of them far-off visions
Vivid hallucinations of a life not yet lived
I can hear 'em in the distance
Singin' that same ol' song again
And it goes a lil' somethin' like this
[Chorus]
Mmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Mmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Mmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
[Verse]
It goes like that, ooh, like that
Heart-attack, cardiac
Call the paramedic, take the heart off of my sleeve
No, I ain't no superhero, but I'll never leave
On the field, every play, rain, snow, or sleet
In the heat of the summer, on the corner, smokin' leaf
I done played in the cold, then my body couldn't feel
With a tear in my eye and a smile from cheek to cheek
But it's more than the heart, more than the pain
You get more than what you want when you get more than what you need
With a lot on my mind, it's more than I can think
It ain't ever been a secret, ain't been more than what you see
See me for who I am, I ain't more than who I be
I got a lot on my hands, like, "Damn, they for me?"
When I was a boy, it was more than just a dream
Now it's more than what it was and way more than it seems
[Chorus]
Mmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Mmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Mmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
[Bridge]
My love has come along
My lonely days are over
And life is like a song
Ooh, yeah, yeah
At last
The skies above are blue
My heart was wrapped up in clover
The night I looked at you
[Verse]
Talk about your past, you was young and wild
My love is still like an oldie, my momma know me
As if you never seen my face, you never know me
My love is still like a oldie, you never know me
Talk about my past, I was young and wild
I was sixteen, same things
Eighteen, had big dreams
Nineteen, twenty-three, I'ma live things
Twenty-four, twenty-five, I'ma live dreams
I was sixteen, same things
Eighteen, had big dreams
Nineteen, twenty-three, I'ma live things
Twenty-four, twenty-five, I'ma live dreams
I was sixteen, same things
Eighteen, had big dreams
Nineteen, twenty-three, I'ma live things
Twenty-four, twenty-five, I'ma live dreams
I was sixteen, same things
Eighteen, had big dreams
Nineteen, twenty-three, I'ma live things
Twenty-four, twenty-five, I'ma live dreams
My love is still like a oldie, my momma know me
My love is still like a oldie, you never know me
My love is still like a oldie, you never know me
My love is still like a oldie, my momma know me
[Verse]
So you can see
The rhythm like waves, not a small boat at sea
Check the degree
It's not who you know but who knows you, and you know me
A chef with the recipe
But they lack the ingredients
Pistol Pete in the heat, couldn't compete, a deviant
I can't control the creative flow, that's how I know
Ain't it strange how you know who you know
And the thoughts you sow can grow in the garden of your soul?
I mean, damn, man, look at you, and you know
But you always knew, you always had a clue
Now it's clear and you see the view
You can't believe it's true
I'm looking at you like, "It's me, it's you"
It never matters how it looks
It's not what you know but who knows you, and you know me
Now it seems to me
Now it's not who you know but who knows you, and you know me
[Chorus]
How can it be?
Now it's not who you know but who knows you, and you know me
And you know me
And you know me
