Facts O' Lyfe Songtext
von Vesuveo

My mama left the house for the Holy Ghost
My daddy went batty on the roller coast
And now I′m in this Caddy on the open road
I'm going back to Cali just to get me some gold

Arrived in Venice Beach with some dirt on my soul
First I tried to clean it off with alcohol
When that didn′t work I turned to smoking hydro
Lost in the underground always getting the run around
Praying for the day when my turn would come around
But no happiness could happen when I'm going down
I turned around and took a look at my life
I let the dust settle and started to write
I seen a killer rage from an early age
It all came back right smack on the page
The sadness the grief the suffering the beef
I thought that I escaped it when I decided to leave


See my mama left the house for the Holy Ghost
My daddy went batty on the roller coast
And now I'm in this Caddy on the open road
I′m going back to Cali just to get me some gold
My mama left the house for the Holy Ghost
My daddy went batty on the roller coast
And now I′m in this Caddy on the open road
I'm going back to Cali just to get me some gold

Now I don′t know where to go so I turn to you
My sis had a clue about what we could do
She told it'd be new so I′d have to be cool
I signed up for a session with this Indian dude
The type of bright light that could smite the night
I listened to his voice he took me right to the site
Paralyzed by fears from twenty eight years
They started to disappear with the salt of my tears
Back comes the golden child with a smile
Cuz no amount of violence could hamper his style
He started rewriting all the facts of his life
And gaining pearls of wisdom from the years of strife


Cuz my mama never left she's by my side
Daddy taught me that I′d need to deal with my life
Now I got me tools and I'm using 'em right
I′m back in New York and I′m enjoying the ride
Cuz lyfe cuts right to the heart like a knife
And you can be the surgeon or the victim if you like
It's all up to you what do you wanna do?
I′mma get some help even though it's taboo
Doing all the work now I′m seeing all the perks
And I'm the living proof that this healing really works

Cuz my mama never left she′s by my side
And daddy taught me that I'd need to deal with my life
And now I got me tools and I'm using ′em right
I′m back in New York and I'm enjoying the ride
