I wandered along was pondering on | |
The following day and the followring song | |
Verse 1 | |
Meanwhile on the other side of town | |
On the mean streets some kids ride around | |
I got home, some ideas jotted down | |
Turned out the lights, went to sleep not a sound | |
While they blowin in the wind living but no rules | |
But the street's, yo they living but no roots | |
None of us is over given the whole truth | |
Most of us is just driven on cold fuels | |
Super leaded and super deaded who- where over | |
For loot and credit we're shootin' steady | |
We're heated up in the heat of the moment | |
Speeded up just to beat his opponent | |
Grim reaper’s in gym sneakers whith pimp features | |
But we all got the same teachers | |
North, south, west or eastside | |
Meanwhile I dream I kick a freestyle going... | |
Chorus | |
Tick tock you don't stop | |
We got pick pockets corrupt cops | |
We got petty thieves in baggy jeans | |
Baggars and bootleggers and angry teens | |
Politic tick tock you don't stop | |
We got shots smugglin' crack rock | |
Conjunction junction what's your function | |
Constant Consumtion that's your function | |
Let me tell the world how i wish | |
There could be something, anyting | |
In this world for me... | |
Verse 2 | |
Flippin' motorolas, sippin' Coca-colas | |
In a sunny resort with chickens on they shoulders | |
Meanwhile on the rich side of town | |
Kids got sweet dreams of street dreams | |
Thanks to gangsta fairytales they smoke dank and marinate | |
To music that their parents hate, but they can't relate | |
To anything that their parent say | |
It's all hypocrisy and lies, they react with hate | |
Blowin' in the wind livin' by no rules | |
Their parents are tired ain't giving 'em no roots | |
No guidance, they ain't tellin the whole truth | |
Kids captivated by the mike check 1,2 | |
Chorus | |
Let me tell the world how i wish | |
There could be somewhere, anywhere | |
In this world for me... | |
Verse 3 | |
Meanwhile, back on my side of town | |
I wake up tryin to spot what I jotted down | |
Radio playin' loud with the rugged sound | |
Interrupted by the news of a kid, and other kids that shot him down | |
26 years old just like me | |
Aspirations and hopes just like me | |
He was playin' a role just like me | |
Now his story got told just slightly | |
Now he's packaged and sold just like me | |
Well god rest his soul cus this might be | |
Cynical but he fitted in a rhyme pattern | |
In a time where rhymes matter more that a life shattered | |
Meanwhile, on the other side of the world | |
Same sun, moon and stars same things occur | |
Some things better and some things worse | |
Same people struggle, same visions are blurred | |
By state supervision or state super prisoner | |
Private owned, let's break through for shizzle cus | |
Meanwhile in the penal | |
Kids locked down for life, thay ain's kickin' freestyles going.. | |
Chorus |
