On My Way to Inglewood |
The aurora of a black woman’s meal as I entered |
Domino table dead smack in the center |
Menthol clouds as I wave my hands through |
The gumbo pot is big like a 70s hairdo |
Hugs from the women |
Love from my relly’s |
Two-Hour mix, all R Kelly |
Ah bootleg of belly on the table as a coaster |
Stash spot of the ooh wee by the toaster |
Off the gin tryna play Jim Rummy |
Kids in in the other room thinkin' everything funny |
And it is cause it’s love, it is cause it’s us |
It’s always one person every word is a cuss |
And I swear that’s the balance that I need in my life |
Relief of the stress cause the world ain’t right |
And they always tryna tell us that we up to no good |
But I’m On My Way To Inglewood |
I only been here for a short time |
And I done seen the world |
Couple continents under my belt the world twirls on it’s axis |
The good the tragic |
I’ve watched as it happens |
Some nights I cried others laughin' |
Fresh to def in a 3rd world country |
Thinkin' I bought the J’s when I should of fed the hungry |
The lessons the essence of a boy to a man |
Can change a I won’t to a simple I can |
Women of all races traces of my ancestors found in odd places written on walls |
for the ages |
The ancient wisdom is the knowledge of the now |
As I weave my way through the foul |
Plane hoppin' and artifact coppin' |
You gotta blend in man it ain’t no options |
In foreign lands trynna expand |
Hope my trips provoke some plans |
On My Way Back To Inglewood |
I don’t see how you could of missed me |
104th and 10th avenue, right off crenshaw |
I went from there, I think i was Inglewood ave and Plymouth |
You know, right by Rogers Park, Highland and all that |
Manchester Tamarack |
I was right there I use to walk all the way to Inglewood High |
From there, that’s on everything I love |
Feel like I’m in a movie |
The winds cuttin' through the buildings trynna' move me |
Beanie over fro it’s the Louis |
Scarf round my neck trynna soothe me |
In search of the right verse, as I rudely |
Scamper through the blocks right in front of the cab |
Tryna find the lab |
It’s the bridge in the background that acts as a compass |
As I laugh |
At myself bout my journey, through the struggle |
Through the game that don’t love me |
Smoke through the cement like a backstage prop |
Hater’s in the crowd remind me of a cop |
The co-op the projects the object of this life |
To live right and I won’t stop til i get it right |
I hear the beat and I feel somethin' on site |
I see the streets and automatic think fight |
I know i won’t even though i could |
Life’s just to good |
Still I’m On My Way To Inglewood |
