When I was a youth and my daddy went far
Didn't know what I was missing, all I knew was mama
When I was a kid she told me, "Speak from the heart
Nuh bodda follow fashion 'cause you're way too smart"
She said, "Take time, think twice
Get right but don't overanalyze"
When I was a kid, she told me speak from the heart
So I can't lose no sleep, being anyone but me, yeah
True you have to dig real deep
To reveal that masterpiece, uh
So I can't lose no sleep, being anyone but me, yeah
True you have to dig real deep
To reveal that masterpiece, yeah, yeah
When I thought I knew it all they broke my heart
Shattered into pieces took me back to the start
I convinced myself I didn't need no one
Better off alone, I thought
So I had to make time, think twice
Get right and not overanalyze
When I thought I knew it all they broke my heart
So I can't lose no sleep, being anyone but me, yeah
And you will have to dig real deep
To reveal that masterpiece, uh
So I can't lose no sleep, being anyone but me
And you will have to dig real deep
To reveal that masterpiece, yeah, yeah
So I can't lose no sleep, being anyone but me, yeah
True you have to dig real deep
To reveal that masterpiece, uh
So I can't lose no sleep, being anyone but me, yeah
True you have to dig real deep
To reveal that masterpiece, yeah, yeah
To reveal that masterpiece, uh
