HappYness Lyrics by James Drainer

Hold For The Applause

2017

Intro:
Yea, I just wish I was perfect why do I gotta be human? wish I was some other person but then again that's still human, I wish I lived somewhere else and could put money in my mommas purse, I smile when I'm with her but on the inside I'm hurting, life can feel like a burden when you're stuck in the cycle, stuck in my room going psycho, you gotta climb over your ego if you wanna go where i'll go, you gotta climb over ego if you wanna go, said I just wish I was i was perfect, why do I gotta be human? wish I was some other person... but see that's still human, everyday I feel the same I'm tired of living this way, barely hanging on by a thread and happiness' so far away, said I was just wish I was perfect, why do I gotta be human? wish I was some other person but then again that's still human, everyday I feel the same! I'm tired of living this way, barely hanging on by a thread, and happiness' so far away, away! happiness so far away, yea...
(Hook)
I'm looking for happiness man (happiness), we all looking for happiness, ever since I was a kid i've been looking for happiness, damn...
(Bridge)
Yea, So much competition, my inner MC itching, while everybody dissin', I'm out here living different, I'm reppin' that peace & love... reppin' that peace and... love... yea, so much competition, my inner MC itching, while everybody dissin', i'm out here living different, im reppin' that peace & love... reppin' that peace and... love
(Verse 1)
So much racism be existing today, see I've been through a-lot of racism back in the day, they would call me the whiteboy, cracker around the way, across the street from those same people is where i'd lay, but today I understand who i am, A young man with a plan, tryna get it how he can, growing up I swear! I didn't have an ounce of bias, if I were to see a white man crying or a black man dying I would go and try and help em', no matter what the color, no matter what the size, to no surprise, not a single inch of racism lies within my eyes and that's the reason why my debut EP was called "Perspective", I learned my lesson, so fuck depression but wait... a second, let me count my blessing's like one, two, three to the fo', i'm the man with the flow, hunned' grand hit the flo', god damn, never know, I'm the boss, i'm the king, tell me why man kind always wanna know everything?...yea, said tell me why man kind always wanna know? something's are better left alone, I'm better in my zone, grippin' the microphone with my eyes closed, I put the syrup in the styrofoam, that's the biggest mistake that i've made, but right now it's time to migrate, when I'm home alone I get in my head, that shit feel like a migrane, take a trip inside of my pain, overthinking right now inside of my brain, but the last thing that I wanna say is everybody is all the same, yea, the last thing that I wanna say is everybody is all the same, JD, and that's it, and that's it, we all the same, accept it
(Hook/Outro)
Uh, I'm looking for happiness man, yea, we all looking for happiness man, yea, I'm looking happiness, ever since I was a kid i've been looking for happiness man, like... I'm looking for happiness man, yea, we all looking for happiness man, yea, ever since I was a kid, every since we all kids we've been looking for happiness like...
