Intuition - Otis Redding lyrics

Otis died at 26 i'm 26 while writing this
What's that say about the life I live?
What's that say about my lifelessness?
Does that really say that life's a gift
Or that life's a bitch?
And that's a cliche thought
But at least fame brought enough love to
Have me open thinking 'bout it now
And did he retain God as his team's plane
Washed into that water as he
Was going out of town
And I, and I can't draw parallels
I'm just a young catholic boy
Raised being scared of hell
Who lost his faith
Grew up to be a ne'er do-well
Riding life's rounds and rounds
Tevin Campbell's carousel
I only hope if my life were to end tonight
I'd leave a legacy of love
Lost and left behind
A couple stories for my next
Of kin next in line
And maybe one song that up and
Stands the test of time

Cause, I got a body just a young as Otis
And a m-m-mind as old
They say there's footage of his
Body being found now
If we could only finally f-f-find his soul

He was born in '41 i was born in '81
14 years after that fatal plane begun
He left behind his lady love
And two baby sons
Biggest hit came out after he died
That's crazy huh? It makes me shrug
They don't make them like they used to
Another cliche thought
But where's our modern Juice Crew
We got a bunch of singers
Dancing up on YouTube
But where's the ones that really move
You to feel the blues too
And I don't hate at all I'm
Just a little jaded ya'll
Dwelling on that wake up call
Sometimes even favorites fall
Some descend until they're left with
No name at all
While others lead a righteous path and
Let their tails remain as tall
So what's the difference? Where's
The fine line between nobody gives a shit
And everyone in line crying?
Every question that I ask is rhetorical
Otis Redding, lost legend, lives on immortal
