about

This song is about being happy with what you have. I have written a lot of sad songs and I felt like I sounded to sad all the time so I wrote this. Brie Griffin has an amazingly perfect yet to be tapped R & B voice. She is not a musician in the sense that others are but she is by far more talented than 99.999% of us. She is also my sister (sort of).

Also, I say Allah'u'Abha which means God is Most Glorious in Arabic. It is a Baha'i saying. I am a Baha'i and so is Brie.

lyrics

I NEVER NEEDED COLLEGE
TO FIND MYSELF
NEVER NEEDED ANY LIQUOR
TO UNWIND MYSELF
NEVER NEEDED AN EXCUSE
TO ACT REAL STUPID
I TAKE WHAT I’VE DONE
IN FUTURE I’LL USE IT
NEVER NEEDED GUNS
TO PROTECT MY NECK
NEVER NEEDED ANY NUN
TO TEACH ME RESPECT
WHEN I CASH THESE LUNGS
GOD’LL CASH MY CHECK
WITH A SMILE HUNG
I’LL EXCEPT MY DEATH
NEVER NEEDED CASH
TO MAKE LIFE GOOD
BUT I COULD USE A LITTLE
TO PAY WHAT I SHOULD
NEVER SOLD ROCK
NEVER EVEN SOLD WEED
BUT WHEN FUNDS ARE LOW
IT DOES INTEREST ME
NEVER BEEN A PIMP
OR PLAYER AND SUCH
NEVER BEEN REAL HARD,
THUGGED OUT OR TOUGH
NEVER BEEN LOCKED UP
NEVER GOT HER KNOCKED UP
NEVER I HAVE I BEEN
SOME ONE NOT SON

GROW UP
LIVE LOVE
GET TOUGH
THAT'S ENOUGH
YEAH I’M HAPPY WHERE I’M AT
GROW UP
LIVE LOVE
GET TOUGH
THAT'S ENOUGH
YEAH I’M HAPPY WHERE I’M AT

I’VE ALWAYS NEEDED GOD
OR SOME TYPE OF HIGHER POWER
THEY IT SAY MAKES ME WEAK
THEY SAY IT MAKES ME COWARD
BUT BELIEVING IN SOMETHING
YOU CAN’T SEE BUT FEEL
AN UNTOUCHABLE PLACE
THAT’S MUCH MORE THAN REAL
I’VE ALWAYS NEEDED LOVE
A LOT MORE THAN MOST
A GOOD WOMAN
WHO IS HAPPY TO BE CLOSE
SHE’S REAL GOOD LOOKING
AND BELIEVES IN HOPE
AND SHE’S ALWAYS COOKING
BUT IT’S COOL IF SHE DON’T
I’VE ALWAYS NEEDED FRIENDS
THAT ARE MORE LIKE FAMILY
EVEN WHEN I’M STUPID
THEY UNDERSTAND ME
ALL COLORS AND CLASSES
TO KEEP ME GROUNDED
I DON’T GOT HOMIES
I GOT BROTHERS SURROUNDING
I’VE ALWAYS NEEDED
MUSIC SOME TYPE OF SOUND
ONE THAT CAN PICK ME UP
OR CAN LAY ME DOWN
I’VE ALWAYS NEEDED
SOME KIND OF PEACE
HELL…I GOT A LOT MORE THAN
WHAT I NEED

GROW UP
LIVE LOVE
GET TOUGH
THAT'S ENOUGH
YEAH YEAH I’M HAPPY WHERE I’M AT
GROW UP
LIVE LOVE
GET TOUGH
THAT’S ENOUGH
YEAH YEAH I’M HAPPY WHERE I’M AT

FRESH PACK SMOKES
FULL TANK GAS
YEAH YEAH SING YOUR HAPPY WHERE YOUR AT
A PRETTY GIRL WAVES
AND YOUR PASSING CLASS
YEAH YEAH SING YOUR HAPPY WHERE YOUR AT
FOUND LOVE EVERYONE
MAKING YA LAUGH
YEAH YEAH SING YOUR HAPPY WHERE YOUR AT
FEELING THE DIVINE
A HIGH THAT DON’T CRASH
YEAH YEAH SING YOUR HAPPY WHERE YOUR AT
