Yo!
Aye, yo
[Verse 1]
Like emus trying to soar and get a peek at the summit
When you come from the bottom, you only dream on a budget
An uphill travel but on a slippery slope
Misery grows, I'm close to giving up hope
See, I was (Aanh) like them kids with unhealthy minds that get ignored (Yeah)
Holding on to my life, afraid to let it go (Yeah)
Where toxic thoughts in my head would unify
Everyday to a point, where I'm contemplating suicide (Suicide)
Anxiety got me call all unstable like the Khyber pass
My vision twitches with palpitations like hypеrlapse
Grades werе bad, they would worry me to sadness
My mettle was the only luxury I had then (Aanh)
Skipping classes to learn raps at Planet Ms (Aanh)
Window shopping for clothes strapped to mannequins
It's only through music I know to emote
And so I found therapy in all the poems I wrote
With every line I planned, I'd express and let loose
Hoping that I'd never have to fight depression and lose
Surviving the madness, the world's an asylum
Where I could crumble under pressure or turned to a diamond
(Now)
[Pre-Chorus]
Manasin parajayangal kannakkaathey
Kanavugal nammude thunayaayi maataam
Jeevitha yaathragal, anubhava nettengal
Padi padi yaayi nammal pala pala mohangal (Yeah)
[Chorus]
We're blessed to live this life
Dancing in the light
Let the music take you high
And find your peace inside
In this place and time
All divine we shine
In this place and time
All divine we shine
[Post-Chorus]
Tanna-nani-yeleyela
Tanna-nani-yeleyela
Tanna-nani-yeleyela
(All divine we shine)
Yeah, tanna-nani-yeleyela
Tanna-nani-yeleyela
Tanna-nani-yeleyela
Tanna-nani-yeleyelasa
(All divine we shine)
[Verse 2]
Everyday I was sunk in despair
Only wheezing as I breathe through the pungentest air
Carried the weight on my shoulders, hence the hunch that I bear
Insults were unfair, yet I put my trust in my flair
And being broke (Aanh) was no deterrent, so I had to
Aim for the stars like telescopes at NASA
I guess pain is a fraction of what trouble evokes
Success tastes sweetest for those who struggle the most
I kept my mind strong, the heart's weak and frail
Giving up was an option but I didn't dream to fail
And through the melancholy every night I was working
Till I got everything that I could buy from my earnings
N I got, love and respect, the smiles I deserved and
Fantasy and actuality were rightfully merging
Now I inspire kids, they wanna be like me
A blueprint and legacy I leave behind me
Tears were shed on the daily over the lunch I was skipping
Got the world on my plate, not that scrumptious living
Caviar on the flights and vacations in Vegas
Pick up a villa next year and you can bet that I made it
Now (Aye)
[Pre-Chorus]
Manasin parajayangal (Ooh) kannakkaathey (Ayy)
Kanavugal nammude (Ooh) thunayaayi maataam (Ayy)
Jeevitha yaathragal (Ooh), anubhava nettengal (Ayy)
Padi padi yaayi nammal (Ooh) pala pala mohangal
[Chorus]
We're blessed to live this life
Dancing in the light
Let the music take you high
And find your peace inside
In this place and time
All divine we shine
In this place and time
All divine we shine
We're blessed to live this life
Dancing in the light
Let the music take you high
And find your peace inside
In this place and time
All divine we shine
In this place and time
All divine we shine
[Post-Chorus]
Tanna-nani-yeleyela
Tanna-nani-yeleyela
Tanna-nani-yeleyela
(All divine we shine)
Yeah, tanna-nani-yeleyela
Tanna-nani-yeleyela
Tanna-nani-yeleyela
Tanna-nani-yeleyelasa
(All divine we shine)
