It Ain't So Strange
Paperboys Lyrics

Though being born might be complicated
Being born can be difficult, but we often take for granted the gift of life that God has given us.

we live on and don't appreciate what god created
We continue to live but fail to acknowledge and appreciate the beauty of life and creation.

til it's gone so if tomorrow brings a new dawn
We only realize the value of something after it's gone, so if a new day comes, we might have already missed out on enjoying what we had.

we might have waited too long/ or might be trough with all the ways to do wrong/ 'gotta say it'
We may have waited too long to appreciate life or have already succumbed to the many temptations of wrongdoing. We acknowledge this fact and feel compelled to express it.

shit this song won't matter but I still try/
This song may not make a huge impact or change the world, but I still try to share my thoughts and feelings through it.

still wonder what it would feel like/ if everyone was living real nice would it be the same?/ would I still search for freedom in cocaine/
I ponder about how things would be different if everyone lived a comfortable life, but I also recognize that I might still be looking for escape in drugs, despite the lack of struggle and hardship.

and only seem to complain filling weed in my brain/
I often complain and distract myself with drugs to cope with my problems and struggles.

just so my reasons get repeated again/
I smoke weed to reinforce my justifications for using it, even though it may not be the best solution.

I know rap aint the easiest game but jesus man/ I really feel I need to explane/
I understand that succeeding in the rap industry is difficult, but I still feel compelled to explain my views and experiences through my art.

I live life like I wanna fill it with marihuana/ and all I feel I gotta do is honor my mama/
I approach life by filling it with marijuana, but I also strive to honor and respect my mother's teachings.

so when I'm trough with this trauma, insomnia and strange shit/ I'm leaving this game with the same duds I came with
When I overcome my struggles with trauma, sleeplessness, and strange experiences, I plan to leave the rap game with the same modest possessions I came in with.

Life is a blessing but even so/
Although life is a gift from God, we still struggle and face challenges.

seem to get the impression we don't even know/
We often seem unaware or ignorant of the blessings of life.

it's a shame but it ain't so strange/
It's disappointing that we don't appreciate life, but at the same time, it's not surprising.

and that greed, we're on it/ it's not beacause we need it/ we want it/ but we're just trying to feed our own/ get some cheese, a little weed I'm gone
We pursue greed not because we require it, but because we desire it. Our pursuit of comfort through money and drugs comes from trying to provide for ourselves.

gotta say it/ But know that life might hear you/
We feel compelled to express our thoughts, but we must realize that life may respond to our words.

and most wishes come with a price that might scare you/
We should be cautious about the cost of our desires, as they may require sacrifices we are not prepared to make.

there's something in the air/ it's never a clear view so know that everytime you see god the devil's there too/
We sense that something is present but can't see it clearly. We must recognize that both good and evil exist in the world.

and it's true that what we do comes back again/
Our actions have consequences, and what we do will eventually catch up to us.

we go from happy to, what the fuck's happening?/
Our emotions can fluctuate from joy to confusion and distress.

Another accident cox sins don't sleep/
Mistakes and consequences don't disappear; they linger and can affect us later.

I see it all from my window seat/ sniffers with the limbo feet and it's clear the symptoms speak/
I observe what's happening from my vantage point and see the evident effects of drug abuse.

folks cheat when the ends don't meet/ that's why I try to make my singles peak and do better/
People may resort to dishonesty when struggling to make ends meet. I strive to make my music stand out and improve.

coz fuck it I'm too clever/ not to search for a true treasure/
There's no reason for me not to seek out genuine value and purpose in life, as I have the skills and intelligence to discover it.

put it together see what life brings/ seems it's less frightening because of my white skin/
By piecing together my experiences and observations, I realize that my privileged position as a white person makes life seem less daunting and scary.

and this commotion and excitement/ the worlds at the verge of war/ kids not knowing what they murder for/
The world is filled with conflict and uncertainty, and children are caught up in violence without understanding what they're fighting for.

but we don't care we heard it before/ and as I throw away my burger a third of us is poor/
We've heard about these problems before, but we don't take action to address them. Meanwhile, a significant portion of the population continues to live in poverty.

no wonder there's more turbulence in store/ but this is what it came to so hold on it might be painful/
It's not surprising that more trouble is on the horizon, but we must prepare ourselves and endure the hardships that come our way.

Living in this modern age where nobody behaves/
We're living in an era where societal norms are breaking down, and people are less courteous and well-behaved.

and nobody gives a fuck about poverty or aids/
We seem to be indifferent to the critical issues of poverty and disease affecting so many people around the world.

I can promise you it's not ok/ we're walking on a planet even god doesn't bother to save/
I can assure you that this situation is not acceptable. We're living on a planet where even God seems to have given up hope.

there's no moderate ways, misery's like stardom/ and novelty fades coz nobody likes problems/
There's no middle ground when it comes to suffering; it's as pervasive and prominent as fame. And once current events become familiar, people quickly lose interest because they don't want to deal with problems.

cant fit us all in gods garden/ so watch your step there's not much left/ let's not forget
Not everyone can fit in God's paradise, so we must be cautious and mindful of our actions because our resources are limited. And let's not forget the important things in life.
