I don't need drugs

To keep my demons at bay,

I don't need to make my mamma cry at night

To show I got something to say

I don't have to fight the law

To feel I got somethin' to prove

I don't have to run the streets

Like a fool,

the way that you do.

I don't need to drink myself

Into oblivion you see

I can look myself in the eye

When my reflection speaks to me

How do you live, I ask you

How do you live your life ?

How do you sleep with all the wrong you do

I bet you don't even cry at night

See I used to think that it made me weak'

Used to think I had something

Something' wrong with me

Cause if I saw you pass by,

I'd go lose at the knee

Now I know that's only cause I'm too real

And I have the capacity,

to love, and to feel,

And babe its your lack in all these things

That somehow keeps you free.
