When I was a kid I used to have a question
Do I live docile or die ideal?
So I asked mom and she said one thing
That I’d remember for the rest of my life
She said
Yes, You’ve got to live ideal
You’ve got to live ideal
You’ve got to live ideal
Yeah, I’m gonna die for that
She took ma bro to the kinder-garden
She said “Stay here till I come back”
I stayed for a while and left the town
Wasn’t sure Where to go to
Yes, You’ve got to live ideal
You’ve got to live ideal
You’ve got to live ideal
Yeah, I’m gonna die for that
Then my life wasn’t easy at all
It never be and it won’t be
Starving till I was almost 25
Look at what I've been fighting for
Yes, You’ve got to live ideal
You’ve got to live ideal
You’ve got to live ideal
Yeah, I’m gonna die for that
Shortly after I got all I wished
I left them behind in May 3rd
The question no longer remains in my head
Just miss my home so bad
Yes, You’ve got to live ideal
You’ve got to live ideal
You’ve got to live ideal
Yeah, I’m gonna die for that
