A Ride

And so that's kinda where I'm at, man
You know, my relationships have gotten better these days
I'm so close to my brother these days like, it's, uh
You know, it's wild
You know, and I've met like, couple of the greatest people I've ever met Like, through AA
You know, I've learnt unconditional love and things like that, not things that I'm able to practice yet but at least, for the first time in my life I'm aware of some of thesе things
And more will be revеaled, man, that's what they say in that program more will be revealed
You know, and you can develop a relationship with a higher power or you can do what you want
They got coffee, they got shitty cookies
It's a fucking trap house but where people get together to share good time, real time
You know, I'm so excited, man
I get to go home I got five nieces and nephews today that love me
You know and even if they don't I get to watch, like, my siblings be parents, you know I get to watch my siblings love their children
In a way that we never got to experience and I'm awake for that
And, uh

[Chorus]
And that's cool, man
That, for me, man, that shit is, uh
This shit is a ride, bruh
(This shit is a ride, bruh)
And that's cool, man
(That's cool, man)
That, for me, man, that shit is, uh
This shit is a ride, bruh
(This shit is a ride, bruh)

Sometimes they say, you know, you're not supposed to talk about sobriety in a public forum and stuff like that but
Whatever, man
You know I've never been somebody to break uh, to follow, really, the rules I don't think
Uh, sometimes that's good, and sometimes that's bad
And I'm grateful, man
I'm grateful to the group of people that I get to be a part of now
Even in my own shows, you know, at our shows we get to do that
And I feel like we're gonna do a lotta cool stuff and in the coming year to help others
And, um (sighs)

[Chorus]
And that's cool, man
That, for me, man, that shit is, uh
This shit is a ride, bruh
(This shit is a ride, bruh)
And that's cool, man
(That's cool, man)
That, for me, man, that shit is, uh
This shit is a ride, bruh
(This shit is a ride, bruh)
And again, if you party and you drink and you getting fucked up, if I'm at your house, you're doing coke, I don't care that's fine
If y'all shooting up, I'm leaving, bruh, okay
If you fucking wrote haystack on your arm and you fucking needling yourself, I'm out, baddie But if you guys, you know, your cousin's on nine tylenol and y'all blowin' a blunt in the G RAWs, bruh
I'm fine You know, I don't care if you drink I don't care if you fucking, you know pour meth down your fucking stepdad's esophagus
That's okay, you can do that, you don't have to adjust any of your life for me, anything like that
There's nothing you have to be weird around these kinda people

[Chorus]
And that's cool, man
That, for me, man, that shit is, uh
This shit is a ride, bruh
(This shit is a ride, bruh)
And that's cool, man
(That's cool, man)
That, for me, man, that shit is, uh
This shit is a ride, bruh
(This shit is a ride, bruh)

You know, my biggest problem, I realize It wasn't with drugs or alcohol my biggest problem was with the way that I felt
And I am relieved of some of that
And I'm learning more all the time, man and that's where I'm at
You know, that's where I'm at
And I'm so thankful that in a weird way, like all those times of storytelling and lying to people and just
You know, I just wanted to seem okay to them
Lying about, you know, where my dad was or who he was
Or lying about why I was walking Through somebody's neighborhood after school because I didn't even live in that neighborhood, you know
And just all kinda stuff, man
You know, um
It's interesting 'cause all that time of storytelling now
You know, the things that, uh
That didn't serve me before now it serves me
Now I'm able to go to a place
And share stories

[Chorus]
And that's cool, man
That, for me, man, that shit is, uh
This shit is a ride, bruh
(This shit is a ride, bruh)
And that's cool, man
(That's cool, man)
That, for me, man, that shit is, uh
This shit is a ride, bruh
(This shit is a ride, bruh)

[Instrumental Bridge]

So, I mean, I think, you know God works in mysterious ways, man
And also in unmysterious ways
But also in way mafuckin' mysterious ways
