lyrics

A beautiful world I'm trying to find

I am known to stay awake
A beautiful world iI'm trying to find
I've been in search of myself
It's just too hard for me to find
Said it's just too hard for me to find
I am in the search of something new
Searchin' me
Searching inside of you
And thats fo' real

What if it were no n****s
Only master teachers?

I stay woke

Even if yo baby ain't got no money
To support ya baby, you
Even when the preacher tell you some lies
And cheatin on ya mama, you stay woke
Even though you go through struggle and strife
To keep a healthy life, I stay woke
Everybody knows a black or a white
there's creatures in every shape and size

Everybody
(I stay woke)
Everybody, stay
(I stay woke)
Get everybody
(I stay woke)
Everybody body baby

A beautiful world I'm trying to find

“Literary Kravitz,” as some say.
