Bumps and Bruises
[Verse 1]
I've been goin' strong for 25 years
Heard so many cheers and shed so many tears
I've got my issues, no use for a run around
I guarantee there's probably a lot more to come about
So the best thing for me to do is accept 'em
I'd analysis 'em and then respect 'em
I take it a step at a time, even if it's crappy
Then I'll keep on going, as long as I'm happy
A lot of people have insecurities
They have their own sins, and their impurities
But accepting them all can bring plenty fun
Just as long as they're not hurting anyone
Yeah, it's not worth getting angry
Or annoyed over silly things frankly
So I will tell you, your issues will fade away
If you walk with me and take it day by day
[Hook]
Life is too short to be fussin'
To be rushin' and be cussin'
Life's got funny ways, some of them so sudden
I got problems, but who doesn't?
Life's got so many wonderful directions
And we've got beautiful imperfections
I got my issues, but like a man, I stand
'Cause all my bumps and bruises, make me who I am
[Verse 2]
Let's look at me personally, and have some good laughs;
I tend to keep my head, right where the clouds are
But that's because that's where my dreams are
So I'mma keep goin', with my genes and heart
Maybe I'll never grow up into a millionaire
Maybe my friends'll be the only ones that really care
Just as long as my future job keeps on giving
Enough money for me to make a decent living
I do overspend, on things I don't need
Like I need them in my life in order to breathe
I do admit sometimes, it makes me severely sick
But it's a silly habit, that I try and quickly kick
With all my working hours, I try and fo-cus
Yeah, I'm a virgin, but I'm in no rush
I'll take the moments in life that are made to break me
And ride that wave to where the current may take me
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Now other kids are dumb, but I don't give 'em blame;
I probably did stupid things when I was their age
And to young and old, just quit your straining
You never get things done, just by complaining
Never mind the hatred, we need politeness
Not gonna stand here being Mr. Self-Righteous
There's no need to live life so solemnly
I'm sure that's something deep down we can all agree
We need a little love, and a little respect
All the hate and pettiness we need to eject
'Cause it's pointless to argue over annoyin'
Minor things, that have no major importance
Doesn't matter whether we're a woman or man
Life is limited, so let's live it the best we can
Come and take my hand, let's climb out of the dark
All our bumps and bruises, they make us who we are
[Hook]
