| Yo Yo
|
| Bus stoppin' on the sidewalk and cats on the phone talkin'
|
| This and that and just another day in my habitat
|
| Street joggers and birds chirpin' an' tree toppin'
|
| Crows walk alone while persons workin' and need nothin'
|
| Coffee sippin not gon listen follow willin'
|
| Politicians I be sittin' chillin' feel lots of fizzin'
|
| Upon the daily
|
| Starin' at this woman and a baby
|
| Wonder why the trees make us act so shady
|
| Lately been checkin' for the kids 'cross the street
|
| 'Cause for them be whom I speak when the thoughts get deep
|
| Leaders of the marches, readers, and blunt sparkers
|
| Be home before dark, gettin' drunk in the parkers
|
| So I stop as the light goes red
|
| Next to two broke kids, crazy wackos and tobacco heads
|
| 'Nuff said y’all can meet me in the beatin' rain
|
| And tell the fam I be leavin' when the seasons change
|
| Now everybody put a hand up
|
| 'Cause if who is the question
|
| Then you is the answer
|
| And everybody getcha' hands up
|
| 'Cause if who is the question
|
| Then you is the answer
|
| And I believe in the life
|
| And I be leavin' tonight
|
| And I be leavin' when the time is right
|
| And I believe in my soul
|
| And I believe in the road
|
| And I be leavin' 'till you come back home
|
| Yuh
|
| An L impressed in my chest and I’m free
|
| Physically and mentally with the melody
|
| An' the rhythm
|
| We sinnin' but repentin' it by livin'
|
| Significant intention that we sending from within an'
|
| We pinnin' our dreams upon the beat and the word
|
| People carvin' hella seams in the street and the curb
|
| And yo I heard authority woud try an mark it all down
|
| But check I’m the majority who rock with our sound
|
| Emancipated, with tainted education gettin' faded
|
| We comin' down and hatin' it but that’s the price we payin'
|
| Now I’m freein' you, seeker of truth, instead of revenue
|
| Sittin' on the avenue, when nothin’s gonna happen soon
|
| So it ain’t a surprise we gettin' high
|
| The smoke blowin' by in the sky
|
| Intertwined
|
| With the visible hopes sent afloat from out the soul
|
| Indivisible when we roll holdin' our goals
|
| Now everybody put a hand up
|
| 'Cause if who is the question
|
| Then you is the answer
|
| And everybody getcha' hands up
|
| 'Cause if who is the question
|
| Then you is the answer
|
| And I believe in the life
|
| And I be leavin' tonight
|
| And I be leavin' when the time is right
|
| And I believe in my soul
|
| And I believe in the road
|
| And I be leavin' 'till you come back home
|
| I see ya crackin' phony smiles walkin' past me
|
| I’m watchin' lipstick on lick lips split to to call a taxi
|
| I wish I was in the backseat sweet talkin' and heart poundin'
|
| Sweat drippin' keepin' conversation actin' astounding
|
| And so I glance through the window
|
| To watch the rainfall
|
| Thinkin' about third base wondering if she’ll play ball
|
| Well my attention is captured
|
| By the heart and the soul
|
| A mohawk on a rocker who seems so far from his goal
|
| He’s not trippin' about people laughing at him or crackin' jokes
|
| 'Cause when he looks back at us
|
| He’s the one that laughs the most
|
| The caskets closed on average folks not living but just existing
|
| Like the gray haired widows and all the lifers up in prison
|
| I inhale, exhale, down myself then prevail
|
| I breathe in the melody then release a street tale
|
| Of three that came together and stayed true to their dreams
|
| Reminding you to never give up on these daily routines
|
| Now everybody put a hand up
|
| 'Cause if who is the question
|
| Then you is the answer
|
| And everybody getcha' hands up
|
| 'Cause if who is the question
|
| Then you is the answer
|
| And I believe in the life
|
| And I be leavin' tonight
|
| And I be leavin' when the time is right
|
| And I believe in my soul
|
| And I believe in the road
|
| And I be leavin' 'till you come back home
|
| Yup 'till you come back home
|
| Everybody comin' out
|
| We’re gonna get real big real big
|
| Put out a new album
|
| Roosevelt High School '07-'08 fuck that shit and beyond
|
| We’re doin' it real big every day
|
| And I believe in the life
|
| And I be leavin' tonight
|
| And I be leavin' when the time is right
|
| And I believe in my soul
|
| And I believe in the road
|
| And I be leavin' 'till you come back home |
