I GOT NEW RULES

My vision has changed

I got new rules

Strategy now includes activities that better me

Having dreams of my feet running through foreign sands

Taking pictures in strange lands

Crazy stamps in my passport

Speaking in Spanish to the man driving me to the airport

Tired of being bound by the norm

You know college, marriage, debt and a life that’s boring

God gave us this entire planet for exploring

So I turn up the Mingus and light up

I have released the bullshit and living, learning and loving the best I can

I got new rules

Not thinking about who's who

Or the nonsense that appears on the tube

I stopped watching the idiot box and listening to the hip hop

I will miss the Lox

But their lyrics put a bad feeling on my spirit and I felt like I needed to carry my gun

No fun

Living with a unconscious stress level and waiting on trouble

I burst that bubble and take my life to new levels

Where color, money and status don't exist
My old style of being will not be missed

I got new rules
