|
Sometimes I wanna get away from all the confusion |
|
Causin' pollution |
|
I know you wish you could run away, from this institution |
|
Cause there's no solution, to survive |
|
Another day when I'm waking up |
|
I turn my TV on CNN |
|
Another homie done bit the dust, my best friend's back up in the pen |
|
Somebody hit the twin towers, my boy, and the buildings came tumbling down |
|
All we could do was watch in tears |
|
While the people of America wondered how we let it go down |
|
Then, I heard a sound when I turned around |
|
This old man said pray for me (what'd he say?) |
|
Said I've been in the world for 88 long years and go now can you stay for me? (& what u do?) |
|
I looked him in the eyes, and gave him a smile and said mister I don't mean no harm |
|
But you ain't going nowhere, so just pull up a chair |
|
I got greens fresh off the farm (then what happen?) |
|
And with that he pulled a bottle from his pocket and said youngin' ima give it a try (give it a try boy) |
|
I said hold up pops, I ain't forget about the knowledge that you promised so pass it by |
|
and then he said... |
|
[Chorus] |
|
From dusk to dawn, mom's always tellin me you must move on |
|
Let the past be the last thing to dust you son |
|
And I trust you mom |
|
But the dozen ain't my lust for fun, wanna bust my gun |
|
Wasn't much to some, then you measured up to most started walking down the road |
|
To the treasure up the coast |
|
You just never f***ing know what you gonna see, where ya gonna be, who you gonna meet |
|
It's true you gonna sleepin, slip into silence |
|
Shot guns firein', choppers and sirens |
|
Spotlight shinin, flashin on the glance |
|
At a boy without a chance and the Devil on his ass |
|
I be sayin though, livin my life... wishin' and hopin |
|
I be sayin though, chasin the dreams... |
|
I be sayin though same thing that will make you laugh will make you cry |
|
That's how we know man, why ask why |
|
I be sayin though taken away from the frustration |
|
I be sayin though teach me to use my imagination |
|
I be sayin though same thing that will make you laugh will make you cry |
|
That's how we know man, why ask why |
|
[chorus] |
