Chasing Happiness (feat. Jayne Rio)

I'm like Fresh Prince, pursuing my own happiness
could I be handsome, chillin' w/ a pretty chick
a grown man trying to make his own destiny
the memories of stumbling are fading still haunting me
does she exist? a down to earth dreamer
besides your typical Hollywood a-list teamer
a classy lady w/ similiar aspirations, that's down no hesitation
and fresh like ventilation, a girlfriend to travel with,
excursions, coastin' to places where nobody can play w/ emotions
unthinkable, yes unforgettable, Nat King Cole girl you're the queen to my soul
how could something so sweet cause pain something calm and serene
still drive me insane, you're a star still forming in molecular clouds
love and hate is inevitable, we're gonna work it out

chorus
I’ve been floating through many emotions
Love and hate has me coastin’ the oceans
I will do my best…no more chasing happiness

I'm on a time machine, rewind back to the essence
the past, the future, what matters is the present
the highs, the lows, the hellos, the byes
the friendships that star-crossed lovers that combine
on a bullet train...at high speeds to occupy myself
stop and think, the patience that I haven't felt
in a while, dialing my conscience
throwing in the towel, swallowing the non-sense
not yet, there's many more decades, journeys to embark on
skating on my ice capades
I'm on a space shuttle hitting up the solar system
entering through new doors, my mind can envision
risk not taken, posted in a comfort zone, my hearts beating like a metronome
the unknown diminishing the fear, maximizing the many reasons of why I'm here

chorus (see above, repeat)

A dream within a dream within a dream like inception
Rat racing, on 880 intersections
searching for love in all the wrong places, so many familiar places
thank God it's Friday, the damn clock takes forever
the boss is looking over my shoulder whatever
balance and harmony until the stress crashes in
chaos and turmoil, like the Kardashians
my TV is a big glass window, pondering a process from complex to simple
so many hoops to jump through, eyes on the prize
careers, fears, the irony the lies
the false comparisons, the awkward gatherings, why chase it, happiness is now happening

chorus (see above, repeat)
