about

This song is about all the beautiful stories that people have and the importance of sharing these stories.

lyrics

YES IT'S FINE

Let me tell you a story
about this really dope
multi spiritual bad ass bitch/girl
that I've ever known
she gives me courage
and a bit fineness
she's the real-est, most beloved, I've ever met

Let me tell you a story
about this real young boy
He's the bravest little boy, that I ever heard about before
He'd give his sister, his life for sure
without questioning, why or what, it was for

Life, bring them to me
So I can see
All of the colours and beauty they bring/feel/live
I do believe that we're meant to be
a lesson for each other SO

Let me tell you a story
about this girl I saw
She was fearless in a way
that I've never ever seen before
She took on the world as, she was 94
with the straightest back,
and the fiercest face she wore

Let me tell you a story
about this man I met
He had an over sized ego
and a attitude that made me fret
Showed no compassion or no honesty
he was lost without control & no power to be free

But Life, bring them to me
So I can see
All of the colours and beauty they live
I do believe, that we're meant to be
a lesson for each other SO

Let me tell you a story
about this life I live
It's the most a-ma-zing thing that I received
He gave me gratitude and some humbleness
and the power to live my life with no regrets.

Fear has no place
in my life today
I brave each sigh
For my time on this planet has a limit before I die

So, light up my day
never worry what to say
cos you know yourself
better than any mutherfucker can ever tell
