[Verse 1: Lavell Jones] He never had that feeling, he want that feeling he never had She wanna touch ceilings, ceilings that you could never grab She wanna feel high, when she low, he wanna feel rich, when he poor He wanna learn, wanna grow, but that's just him and she don't know He talk about freedom, and all she say is to free your mind Before you speak hit it one more time Just let me talk, fine He wanna change the world, not saying that this girl is a bad influence Just saying that their thoughts are not too congruent, but please listen there's more to it They from different sides of the fence, it's like she laughs when he vents They do something then they repent, whoa, they just some foolish little kids And 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, whatever Whatever that is, or whatever that does, or whatever that brings One struggles with self-esteem and the other one's insecurities Personalities 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 are I'm sure it's hard just to find success when you don't know who you are When you're, searching for something else, searching for something else Searching for something to help cause we don't know who we are How 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 before He wanna feel high when he feel so low He get that feeling he gon' want some more it's appealing To the eye that never had that experience, you know, being in the dark so long can make one's mind oh so curious So he taste it cause he want it and he love it, and deep down he's thinking nothing of it She said I'll get the wine you get the rubbers, and in 5 minutes meet me under covers, leave the rubbers So 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 one And 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 sound It's hard to tell which way is up and which way is down Because when I cry to the skies my knees meet the ground I'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 seeds It's hard to tell which ones will grow into trees and which ones will blossom into weeds Our minds are born empty, with wants and needs searching for answers to who we might be Searching the earth, mountains and seas, searching But life's roads hold no compass rose Too busy becoming stars to tell them apart Hoping that going north is the same as following my heart I'm searching, scouring the country Through books, radio and TV I'm searching hoping that I find my identity I'm searching hoping that I find me
