[Intro]
Aye, yeah
Bring it back, bring it back, bring it back for me
Josh Man flip it back for ya
Yeah, yeah

[Verse 1]
Used to walk to school in the morning every day
And then I'd walk home, and I'd take the same way
Chasing that education any way that I could
I got those straight A's and disposition was good
I had my earbuds in, listening to music
D'Angelo, .Paak, all them cats was therapeutic
All those walks home, and my mind was filled with musings
I learned to slow it down, take it easy, smell the tulips

[Chorus]
Hey, you gotta take it easy, smell the tulips
Study up and make yourself a pupil
Look up out yo' window, it's a world full of muses
Make mistakes and laugh, that's what it means to be human
Hey, you gotta take it easy, smell the tulips
Study up and make yourself a pupil
Look up out yo' window, it's a world full of muses
Make mistakes and laugh, that's what it means to be human
[Verse 2]
Now I'm in college, and I'm taking the bus
There's a lot of people that have asked about us
All I gotta say is things work out for the good of it all
It was hard, sure, but I gave my father a call
Not my earthly one, not the ones who raised me up
Not the one I name in jest, and not the one I need to take a jet
To see, neither he or them
I'm talking 'bout my father, friend
The one who saved me and will love me after time comes to end
I prayed to God to lift me from perdition
I know that I'm flawed, it's the human condition
But the Lord heard my prayer, He made a decision
It's an eternal bond, it's a holy committment
I'm resting comfortably under his mighty wings
His grace and face is the reason I got the will to sing
It's the reason that I made this tape
It's why you're listening today

[Chorus]
Hey, you gotta take it easy, smell the tulips
Study up and make yourself a pupil
Look up out yo' window, it's a world full of muses
Make mistakes and laugh, that's what it means to be human
