Just want to be free To be me and let my hair down sometimes I know god is watching me So I go through life trying to treat folks right Got love for those who got love for me And those who don't I pass by Don't ask why Don't critisize (Chorus) My philosophy my reality My philosophy my reality Got to keep track of time Cause I know that time Waits for no one Look around for change and all I see is that change is a slow one Lost souls who've lost control Tell me are they wrong takes One to know one Cause is this life the strong survive (Chorus) My philosophy my reality My philosophy my reality Why is it the white house Instead of the house of the president I'm here thirty eight years And I want to see a minority resident Would it blow your mind If color become irrelevant I won't lie I wish you'd try (Chorus) My philosophy my reality My philosophy my reality
