I wonder I really wonder How people going like this (2x) I wonder I really wonder How people going feel this (2x) That’s why I share myself I share my real self I’m pleading my case that my soul Worth more than my wealth Not locked up in a cell Of a life that gives us wealth I want a life that gives me health A life that gives me health Take it away Take it way If I really don’t need it Luxurious living I’m talking foreign made villas I see the beauty but I know my life is weighted much bigger I see them views downtown overlooking that city Growing up I've been very blessed never lacked I had plenty But that has made so modest, but that has made so modest And I will care for my Goddess and I will care for my Goddess Cause Grace has made my so modest so always keep this modest please Take it away Take it way If I really don’t need it

All we do is play it safe All we do is live inside a cage All we do is play it safe All we do, all we do Gotta take that leap take a chance Put my mind in a place where I know can trance Close my lids imagine imagine Where everything is flawless talking true oasis Reveal this place I gotta see this place A Tell me what I gotta do cause I need to be in this place What I gotta give up Who I really need to trust Is was my conscience telling me to connect soul up Mi alma is the only thing that is never gonna to die So while I’m in stratosphere I’m thinking like engineer On the way I gotta leave out to see this perfection Cause I heard where I’m living now is gonna die from infection So I’m getting my protection more than a smith & Wesson Anything can happen to anybody any minute life lesson So everyday I collect my thoughts know my pulse is a blessing So what you think about it do you feel safe in the life you destined I've been upside down I don't wanna be the right way round I'll find paradise on the ground I've been upside down I don't wanna be the right way round I'll find paradise on the ground All we do is play it safe All we do is live inside a cage All we do is play it safe All we do, all we do
