lirik lagu timothy welbeck – the pursuit of happiness
chorus (shamika byrd)
i just wanna be, i wanna be, i wanna be happy (repeat)
verse 1 (timothy welbeck)
if ignorance is bliss, why aren’t more of you happy
we tend to miss life’s lessons pouring through naturally
livid with how you’re living, but still resort to bragging
our morals are dragging; what’s most important is lacking
then the order of life engulfs our progress
eating the fruits of our labor beneath golden arches
not a soul objects while our heart scorches in our chest
from the start, it’s so difficult to digest
and yet and still when it has all had its fill
we never leave feeling we’re eating a happy meal
sadder still, that’s the just desserts we had until—sunday
churches will tell you chickens come to roost one day
but until they all do, many just complain
except if you have mcdonald’s money
it sounds funny, but be fond of the things on our plate
chorus (shamika byrd)
i just wanna be, i wanna be, i wanna be happy (repeat)
verse 2
if everything you’d been asking were in you grasping
if it were happening would you actually live happily
fairly grim are the tales of those who have gl-ss slipped at their feet
tales of their acts and feats often end tragically
hendrix was tremendous playing his instruments
but at his prominence
he choked on his vomiting
trying to escape the rage that he had bottled in
vodka, gin—none could abate the problems within
hathaway p-ssed away when melancholy had its way
whitney’s end came swiftly as she drowned one somber day
kurt was hurt and felt his anguish knew no end
so he sprayed his thoughts on his bedroom flooring
and what shall i say more then
what is truly important
when the same more or less is said of jim morrison
amy winehouse, and who ever else’s story’s left
they are starring in roles with no glowing left
chorus (shamika byrd)
i just wanna be, i wanna be, i wanna be happy (repeat)
verse 3
nipsey hustled; nipsey struggled
he never buckled; nipsey never made you feel like nipsey was above you
and he finally seemed happy
and that’s the part that, that’s the part that keeps grabbing me
he climbed out the misery of the trap
and finally decided he could take a victory lap
and while he was at it, kept finding ways of giving back
it’s maddening these tragedies keep happening
another daughter without her father
another ‘hood gets a martyr
another man shot k!lled in the neighborhood he was brought up
and what’s hurting me was he only thirty-three
we’ll never get to see all the things nipsey could be
but we can work to make sure his mission’s complete
and ensure other little nipseys are happy in the streets
and make sure other little nipseys are happy in the streets
chorus (shamika byrd)
i just wanna be, i wanna be, i wanna be happy (repeat)
