| Take me home, a long way
|
| Ain’t no rush to get there
|
| I got time to go and
|
| Make you see the cold world
|
| Don’t no ever go now
|
| I’m just glad to be here
|
| Can I come along?
|
| Tell me, can I fly with you?
|
| Looking out the window, it’s the world
|
| Keep passin' me by like a Pharcyde song
|
| See this little boy and little girl
|
| Moms screaming at em as the car’s ride on
|
| She take off her shoe and you know what she do
|
| She swings as the girl and the boy cries on
|
| I look at this man and he looking at me
|
| We thinking to eachother oh my God, that’s wrong
|
| But we don’t get involved, cause nothing getting solved
|
| It’s plain to see that that lady gotta have it
|
| Six months pregnant, with a third
|
| Whatever’s in her blood man that baby’s gonna have it
|
| Dreams unattainable so let me explain to you
|
| It’s insane and it’s so painful when in plain view
|
| Close my eyes, trying to avoid the pain too
|
| I knock out and inner shout, i came to
|
| Now we on a different block, different area
|
| Little leerier and the projects is scarier
|
| Uh unless you come from this part of town
|
| With the people, the paper bags and the water brown
|
| Lotta dudes they do lose when they brought around
|
| It’s so steep and so deep and you sure to drown
|
| Man, do you get where I’m going?
|
| Cause I’m just try to get where I’m going, Mr Bus Driver
|
| Mr Bus Driver
|
| Doesn’t know a thing of my life
|
| But I know yours well
|
| Holding this line up
|
| Got enough change in my pocket to get around
|
| Wheels keep turning
|
| You stop and you go but you won’t slow down
|
| I don’t wanna know where I’m going now
|
| Wheels keep turning
|
| Mr Bus Driver
|
| Doesn’t know the passenger lost on your route
|
| Making my mind up
|
| One day I’ll have enough change to see the whole town
|
| Red light, green light
|
| You stop and you go but you won’t slow down
|
| All I ask of you is you hold it down
|
| Mr Bus Driver, I gotta ask you
|
| One question, not tryin' to harass you
|
| Can you please get my nana home safe?
|
| Cause she’s 'posed to bring home dinner from White Castle
|
| And it gets dark early in the fall
|
| Wonder if she ran into Shirley at the mall
|
| They got a ride home because the bus be running late
|
| Wait, why am I worrying at all?
|
| The 12 bus, the 14, the 25
|
| The 38 carry your things and many lives
|
| Many guys, street mobs with plenty ties
|
| Sometimes can turn these to shitty rides
|
| It’s the New York city vibes
|
| Mass transit, that fish in a can shit
|
| Yeah, another homeless man lit
|
| Cross town or Downtown, the plan trip
|
| You can get more than what you planned for
|
| I’m holding on even though that my hands sore
|
| I’m well aware what it means when a fella stare
|
| I stay ready for whatever, that’s for damn sure
|
| I guess my confidence is growing
|
| Or the fact that I lack it isn’t showing
|
| I don’t know if you get where I’m going
|
| But I’m just try to get where I’m going, Mr Bus Driver
|
