Lavell Jones - Identity Lyrics
[Verse 1: Lavell Jones]He never had that feeling, he want that feeling he never hadShe wanna touch ceilings, ceilings that you could never grabShe wanna feel high, when she low, he wanna feel rich, when he poorHe wanna learn, wanna grow, but that’s just him and she don’t knowHe talk about freedom, and all she say is to free your mindBefore you speak hit it one more timeJust let me talk, fineHe wanna change the world, not saying that this girl is a bad influenceJust saying that their thoughts are not too congruent, but please listen there’s more to itThey from different sides of the fence, it’s like she laughs when he ventsThey do something then they repent, whoa, they just some foolish little kidsAnd they don’t really know no better, and they don’t really know each other, but they don’t really know themselves, they think they cool, whateverWhatever that is, or whatever that does, or whatever that bringsOne struggles with self-esteem and the other one’s insecuritiesPersonalities clash, and reality has, has them looking at themselves but they can’t see past they past but ah…[Hook: Lavell Jones]How will you move forward when you don’t know who you areI’m sure it’s hard just to find success when you don’t know who you areWhen you’re, searching for something else, searching for something elseSearching for something to help cause we don’t know who we areHow much longer we got, I hope it ain’t far[Verse 2: Lavell Jones]He never had that feeling, he want that feeling he never felt beforeHe wanna feel high when he feel so lowHe get that feeling he gon’ want some more it’s appealingTo the eye that never had that experience, you know, being in the dark so long can make one’s mind oh so curiousSo he taste it cause he want it and he love it, and deep down he’s thinking nothing of itShe said I’ll get the wine you get the rubbers, and in 5 minutes meet me under covers, leave the rubbersSo now they closer than ever, well at least he feel better, until that day that he got that letter, that she had left him, on the dresser, she said that she needed something extra,She said that she needed to be free as could be, so for she it’s on to the next oneAnd the next one, and the next one, that’s just what she do, she do it well she don’t be stressin’Now he found that feeling he never had, I hope he glad, man[Hook][Poem: The Sphinks]I’m Searching, through light, dark and soundIt’s hard to tell which way is up and which way is downBecause when I cry to the skies my knees meet the groundI’m looking for my identity, can you point me in the direction of the lost and found?Because humans are just like a handful of seedsIt’s hard to tell which ones will grow into trees and which ones will blossom into weedsOur minds are born empty, with wants and needs searching for answers to who we might beSearching the earth, mountains and seas, searchingBut life's roads hold no compass roseToo busy becoming stars to tell them apartHoping that going north is the same as following my heartI’m searching, scouring the countryThrough books, radio and TVI’m searching hoping that I find my identityI’m searching hoping that I find me
