I believe when someone passes away |
|
Either a star is born, energy so pure |
|
That it creates new worlds |
|
Or as the soul releases |
|
Shatters into pieces |
|
Becoming free flowing thoughts |
|
For my mental thesis |
|
Maybe we just don't understand |
|
The spirits that still walk the land |
|
Or whatever the case |
|
I believe that we all still remain |
|
To share the same space |
|
So dad, i know you're listenin' |
|
How you been? |
|
Oh, i'm doin' fine, just passin' time |
|
Submerged in sin sometimes i take a bath |
|
And just get all dirty again |
|
I try to cleanse my mind, cleanse my soul and get in |
|
Into that place you've been |
|
No, i'm not tryin' to rush anything |
|
I just wanna visit you because i miss you |
|
So what you tryin' to say? |
|
My imagination been wild since i been a child |
|
And since you're laughin' then |
|
I take it that good things are happenin' |
|
The day i learned you were gone |
|
A new star was born |
|
Distant voices fill my mind |
|
Said look up in the sky |
|
And when i did there you were |
|
Well, i'm sure you already know this |
|
I'm a big pop star |
|
And my pops is a star (ha ha) |
|
No, you really are |
|
Sometimes i feel like an anus |
|
I kinda made you a little famous |
|
Always spillin' my guts |
|
Explainin' to these people who think i'm nuts |
|
Told them how you and moms knuckled up |
|
My excuse for being such a disrupt |
|
Yeah, they sure did |
|
They called you an abusive drunk |
|
Sorry, i didn't realize the media would run with it |
|
But now i know and sometimes i try to have fun with it |
|
The day i learned you were gone |
|
A new star was born |
|
Distant voices fill my mind |
|
Said look up in the sky |
|
And when i did there you were |
|
What did you say you wish to be free |
|
Been here all this time because of me |
|
And on august 16, 2001 |
|
Anything that i wish to release |
|
Release? i see. |
|
First of all i give you my thanks for preparing me |
|
To be open and free |
|
I release my mind releasin' my soul |
|
Release the courage to break the mold |
|
Release my record 20 million sold |
|
Release my pops you're free to go |
|
Create a new galaxy, yes dad |
|
You'll still be right next to me |
|
The day i learned you were gone |
|
A new star was born |
|
Distant voices fill my mind |
|
Said look up in the sky |
|
And when i did there you were |
|
The day i learned you were gone |
|
A new star was born |
|
Distant voices fill my mind |
|
Said look up in the sky |
|
And when i did there you were |
