Lyrics:
Kanye West - I Wonder
Find your dreams come true
And I wonder if you know
What it means, what it means
[chorus]
And I wonder if you know
What it means, what it means
And I wonder if you know
What it means to find your dreams
I've been waiting on this my whole life
These dreams be waking me up at night
You say I think I'm never wrong
You know what, maybe you're right, aight
[chorus]
You say he get on your fucking nerves
You hope that he get what he deserves, word
Do you even remember what the issue is
You just trying to find where the tissue is
You can still be who you wish you is
It ain't happen yet
And that's what the intuition is
When you hop back in the car
Drive back to the crib
Run back to their arms
The smokescreens
The chokes and the screams
You ever wonder what it all really mean
[chorus]
And I'm back on my grind
A psychic read my lifeline
Told me in my lifetime
My name would help light up the Chicago skyline
And that's what I'm
Seven o'clock, that's primetime
Heaven'll watch, God calling from the hot lines
Why he keep giving me hot lines
I'm a star, how could I not shine
How many ladies in the house
How many ladies in the house without a spouse
Something in your blouse got me feeling so aroused
What you about
On that independent shit
Trade it all for a husband and some kids
You ever wonder what it all really mean
You ever wonder if you'll find your dreams

i first started driving when i was 16.. i would go on the highway, push my way to the left lane and streamline it at 140km/h the whole way.
im 21 now. when i go on the highway, i stay in the right lane and go 100-109km/h, depending on whether i feel dangerous, ha.
it wasnt even a gradual change where i started going 130, then 120, then 110. one day, i decided to go in the 'slow' lane, rather than the 'fast' lane and see how it goes
my reasons for being the 'slow' lane rather than the 'fast' lane: - i feel more in control of my car - i dont feel the need to be somewhere as quick as i can - i feel less dangerous - i dont wanna get caught for speeding and have my insurance quadruple - i want to set a better example - i feel safer - i can observe my surroundings more, and possibly enjoy the scenery, if at all possible - i have an extra split second if need be - etc. just cant think right now
still, is it that much different being in the fast lane versus the slow lane? - you get to the same destination eventually - there are still the traffic jams encountered.. the speed is pretty much the same in all lanes during traffic - risk is still involved, anything can happen, accidents can happen - the biggest different is speed and time, which of course are interrelated
randomly, did you know that the 'slow' lane isnt really slow? it's actually AVERAGE/normal/commonly accepted. everything else is just fast. (which would make it slow relatively, but this debate could go on forever)
of course, im not really talking about cars; im talking about lifestyles.
ive made it a point to change my lifestyle from fast to slow/average. i used to always want to get things done and move on. but i never learned to appreciate life. life to me was just a big checklist, but it's more than that.
example of things that i've slowed down: - time used to finish a test - speed used to drive a car - consuming of food - growing of my hair
i guess this is the reason i prefer canada to hk. this lifestyle is comfortable to me. i want to enjoy life. it also makes me happier (and less indigestion)
of course, i always get the urge to drive faster. like today, i hit 120+ for the first time in a long time... not that im not capable of hitting it.. i do have a respectable 2.5L engine. but cruising and enjoying is a lot easier on the engine. and it might just last longer
which lifestyle do you live? which lifestyle do you want? which lifestyle is right for you?
