The Butterfly

(Shaggy 2 Dope)
Dearest Almighty Creator…

(Violent J)
I’ve lived one hell of a life,
if your to take it tonight,
I’ve lived the life of a king,
but so much to darken my light

(Shaggy 2 Dope)
Looking 360 degrees
Two hundred thousand disease,
How can I lay back and chill,
so many down on there knees

(Violent J)
But then again who am I,
I’m just some typical guy,
I ain’t no fuckin’ hero,
I just been wondering why…

(Chorus)
I seen some children crossing the bridge
What kind of life did they get to live?
What kind of choice do they get to make
What if it was a child’s mistake?

(Violent J)
I’ll never question the book,
but let’s say I lived by the book,
I never ate meat on Tuesdays,
How much bigger would my wings look?

(Shaggy 2 Dope)
I try to pray everyday,
but somtimes get lost on the way,
I seen the holiest spirit,
so much to mislead the way

(Violent J)
I gave the visions I got,
I been told I’m gonna rot,
Inside the Devil’s intestines,
I’m still here holding my spot,
I’ve just been wondering why…

(Chorus)
I seen some children crossing the bridge
What kind of life did they get to live?
What kind of choice do they get to make
What if it was a child’s mistake?

Come on up and open up your door
What if it’s a purgatory door?
Come on up and open up your door
What if it’s a purgatory door?
Fuckin’ take me instead!

(Chorus repeat until song ends)
I seen some children crossing the bridge
What kind of life did they get to live?
What kind of choice do they get to make
What if it was a child’s mistake?
