Walking around town - your town is my town |
|
I know your streets better than you, I'll put money down |
|
came to your city just to meet you |
|
name your time, when you free? I'ma breeze through |
|
cats like, you ain't got nowhere to be dude? nah, to be true |
|
the crib got left, the silence was driving me deaf |
|
besides I feel more at home in the ride |
|
it's like you're sitting still but you're still moving, keeps me pacified |
|
but folks broke my stride, got me waiting on naythin |
|
I hate a flaker and it ain't about the paper, I can pay for that |
|
yeah I need money but I could use the company |
|
I take it back, I'm getting comfy alone, it's where I'm at |
|
I walk one way, stop, walk another, stop |
|
just standing on a block, two steps as far as I got |
|
nowhere I wanna be, nobody I wanna see |
|
waiting for somebody and I think that someone is me |
|
Waiting for a sign, taking my time |
|
drink the vodka with the lime, time outta mind |
|
you think I'm a beast? wait till you see me sober |
|
I can't sleep, I can't eat, scheme till I keel over |
|
resigned to the grind, I'm tryna go with the flow |
|
and it's a fine line I'm tryin to toe, all I know is go |
|
sitting in the park's like sitting in the dark, can't see the trees or feel the breeze |
|
my eyes closed's what I'm told by everybody I roll with, no shit |
|
chasing some tail, I'm chasing my tail, the same old shit |
|
just waiting for it to stick, waiting for things to click |
|
I know I'm just supposed to enjoy it, it still ain't hit |
|
one day this world will put me to use |
|
till then I walk holes in my shoes and just try not to lose |
|
funny how a world of options shrinks to just two |
|
stay chasing after everything or wait for you |
|
I stick my head in bars two seconds, just checking for any pretty face |
|
testing my luck, don't want a drink |
|
I sip a 7-up, we chat, imagining what could happen |
|
both knowing how these things tend to end up |
|
but maybe she's the one, I'm thinking, each time she speaks |
|
the missing jigsaw piece to make shit all peace |
|
wanted her so bad it's funny now, being me now |
|
the fantasies of a little child gettin me riled |
|
then I said gimme success and I'll give up the rest |
|
can't be greedy with dreams, a man gets one at best |
|
but I know cats who made it and were left unimpressed |
|
meantime some pressing issues had to get jumped, express, to the front of the line |
|
so peace to family and friends, I'm fine, I'll handle it. me myself and I |
