2 U's

(album: Searching For Strawberries: The Story Of Jongo Bongo - 2023)

I get up, I get at it
I'm a hurricane, I'm in a panic
I got places to be, got people to see
You ain't seen a hurry, baby, till you've seen me
I got love, I got strength
I will go, to great length
I got jam, I got energy
Are you ready, you better be?

This is the story of the two you's
Your deep down self
And the you that's viewed
And these two dudes
Are in dueling moods
This is the story of the two you's

I don't know me, I don't know who to be
A one-man army, lost at sea
Searching for roots, scanning for trees
I got more than a bit of hunger burning, baby inside of me

Some days man, I gotta check myself
Keeping looking back, but that shit don't help
I'm not who I once was, eager and spry
Now I hate what I do, would rather just get high
I get down, I get sad, I think low, I think bad
I get stuck in the ruts, I make myself mad

You got a recipe for these kind of tendency's?
You got a remedy, for a dependency?
Beg your own pardon? Grant yourself some clemency?
You're not a lemon, see, you're a peach
And life ain't a day at the beach
And nothing is far out of reach
If you find your inner peace

This is the story of the two you's
Your deep down self
And the you that's viewed
And these two dudes
Are in dueling moods
This is the story of the two you's

I don't know me, I don't know who to be
A one-man army, lost at sea
Searching for roots, scanning for trees
I got more than a bit of hunger burning, baby inside of me

I mean business baby
I mean business baby
I mean business baby

Come what may
Come what may
Come what may

Come what may
Come what may
Come what may

Come what may
Come what may
Come what may
