"3 Foot Tall" lyrics

"3 Foot Tall"

When you're alone life can be a little rough
It makes you feel like you're three-foot tall
When it's just you, well times can be tough
When there's no one there to catch your fall
Three-foot tall, like you're three-foot tall
Three-foot tall, when there's no one there to catch your fall

I am from the crossroad, off-road, dodging all of the potholes
On my auto-mobile, hollering out "Watch out!"
We lost hope like Bob Hope so what are we supposed to follow?
I'm a leader not an apostle, but I believe in the freedom that God holds (shit)
I'm on the top rope, ready to jump so watch close
Been criticized and boxed out since I was a snot-nose kid
We ain't living for tomorrow, we live for the Lord
Though everybody trying to fit in the crowd, like Where's Waldo?
I freeze time like photographs living for the moment
I'm taking mental pictures reminiscing while I'm growing
When I see the light of day, right away I write away
'Cause things I write and say give me direction like Michael Bay
I need some in my life because my plans ain't never work out
Like when I make plans to work out because everything don't always turn out
How you want them too, honest truth, nah, ain't nothing wrong with Luke
I'll walk this path alone, but I need somebody here to talk me through
But who?

When you're alone life can be a little rough
It makes you feel like you're three-foot tall
When it's just you, well times can be tough
When there's no one there to catch your fall
When you're alone life can be a little rough
It makes you feel like you're three-foot tall
When it's just you, well times can be tough
When there's no one there to catch your fall
Three-foot tall, like you're three-foot tall
Three-foot tall, when there's no one there to catch your fall

Yeah, ayy yo
I know we have our unity, community with everyone I did music with
But over the years they disappeared, not ain't too many still doing this
Feeling like I've gone through war, lost my soldiers on the journey
Feeling like we built the team but only I with the jersey
Yeah, everything comes and goes, I've dealt with the undertow
Keeping my head above the water, pushed on, now I run the show
I know the situation's never perfect, deal with what you got
Never bite your tongue, say your piece, don't let them shut you up
They say everything is about money, nah, only business
If your friends think that, then you hang with money-hungry pigeons
The world is hollow, y'all need to eat, I'm making a pot roast
These people are all for themselves
So I ain't in for feeding no cockroach, uh
Wrong or right, I know the type don't be a gimmick
'Cause everything comes full circle, jerk, get it?
I ain't looking for the exit, I'm trying to show you where my head is
When you feel alone, play my songs and that keeps us connected, check it

When you're alone life can be a little rough
It makes you feel like you're three-foot tall
When it's just you, well times can be tough
When there's no one there to catch your fall
When you're alone life can be a little rough
It makes you feel like you're three-foot tall
When it's just you, well times can be tough
When there's no one there to catch your fall
Three-foot tall, like you're three-foot tall
Three-foot tall, when there's no one there to catch your fall
