The Gift Of Gab - Moonshine lyrics

[hummed intro melody]

[Chorus x2]

Findin' out my way somehow

Heard those sounds up in the sky

Tryin' to find a way up out/about

Darkness will not be my guide

[Gift of Gab]

It's been a long time comin' as well

Lots of rises, lots of falls, lots of stories to tell

Lots of 40 ounce session couch surfin', hotel

Residency, got to pay the rent, fuck it, oh well

Came to a point where a drink meant death

Cold turkey, nerves shook, all the stress repressed

Bubbled up to the surface, now I'm lookin' at me

Face to face with myself, simply tryin' to be

Sometimes it's hard to just be, when you're blinded in mist

I wonder if other people go through shit like this

Was about to call it quits, then the moonlight spoke

I was sleepin' on life, suddenly I awoke

and now I'm..

[Chorus x2]

[Gift of Gab]

Did some wrongs, paid some costs

Skipped out on some roommates, cussed out a few bosses

Explosion of the ego, the power of the sauce/source

I guess that I was lookin' for a confidence loss

Somewhere along the road I must have made a wrong turn

But I've come to realize that it's just a long journey

Used to search for the meaning 'till one dark summernight

A cat told me that my words had inspired his life

and now I'm..

[Chorus x2: including occasional "somehow" in the background]

[Gift of Gab]

Now it's all about purpose, progress, not perfection

Seeing beneath the surface, faith followed by action

I live it all now, with a hunger and a passion

And when I get stuck I let go and keep mashin'

And when I get stuck, I get still and just ask Him

For knowledge of His will, then my third eye transcends

Thought and everything now's exactly like it's supposed to be

Channel when I'm givin' and give it back out, over beats

Every now and then I think of how things work

All that's fuel for fire now, it's funny how things work

And when I'm flustered and I find I'm slipping back in that space

I see that planet, now it's perfect in the middle of space

and I know that I'm..

[Chorus x2: including occasional "somehow" in the background]

[hummed outro melody]
