I Been Looking Around
T-Bone

Growing up we didn't have much

I still remember mom in the welfare line

Pops on the corner slanging flowers trying to make a dime

Hustling hard, working beyond a nine to five



Praying somebody stop but cars just keep passing him by

My older sister ran away and chose a life of crime

My younger sister getting calls from these older guys

I still hear the sound of them sirens running through my mind



Saw grandma die in a stretcher before my very eyes

And who could forget the flames coming outta my room

Wit firefighters trying to save everything that ain't ruined

It's bad enough we barely making ends meet



Now we ain't even got a blanket or a place to sleep, man

We all been through struggles and em' harder times

And at times it seems like there ain't no peace of mind

But just, when I started to doubt, thinking nobody cares

I looked up and found that you was always right there



Still looking for, keep looking for

Out searching, nothing working, steady looking for

Still waiting for, keep waiting for

True love, one love, what we waiting for



Moved to Southern Cali and bought me a baller crib

Wit marble floors, high ceilings and a pool to swim

I got a, lot of famous high profile friends

A white Benz laced wit them chrome spinning rims



Top dollar brand fashion and a Jacob watch

Bracelet wit canaries and em flawless rocks

I went from playa hated to Grammy nominated

To making movies wit Cuba and Beyonce now they say I made it



Finally got my music making all the headlines

Radio spinning my single back to back 10 times

But still it wasn't everything that I thought it be

Found me searching for love and life's remedy



Money bought me cars, power and yachts

I'm still distraught, got my stomach tangled in knots

Sad and depressed, finally after everything I been through

I found out the only thing that was missing was you



We all pretty much looking for the same thang

We soul searching trying get through life's long maze

I been to mountain tops looking for the most high

So many valleys lows, never thought I'd get by



So many shattered dreams, all the broken promises

Lied to, left for dead, emotional apocalypse

We all looking for the answers of what and why

Choose win or loose in this life we can live or die



And never fill that empty space that we feel inside

I know ya hurting, see the pain written in ya eyes

Tried the drugs, tarot cards, and astrology

Blaze up the purple haze, transcend reality



Trying leave all of your problems behind

And some of y'all put ya faith a nine

I got mine when I gave up tha life

Swapped it out for the better one

Finally found true wealth, never gonna find myself
