| Sometimes I wonder. |
| Reef the Lost Cauze, Marco Polo! |
| Yeah live from Brooklyn,
|
| New York City
|
| As you all know I call Philadelphia home
|
| I’m out here with my man. |
| We used to zone in this shit knahmsayin?
|
| Just building in this fucking world
|
| I got to thinkin, man I just, I just wanna say this shit
|
| yo
|
| Deep in the mind
|
| Is where I’m told, «Seek and you’ll find»
|
| I smoke reefer recline and let the streets intertwine
|
| With the beats I rewind, no sleep I can find
|
| I pause examine walls that I’m eager to climb
|
| All you seein is crime, hella high water rise
|
| You’ll drown homeboy, you can’t compete with the tide
|
| You can’t see it like it’s sleep in your eyes, how a weasel despise
|
| I made clay out of the feeblest minds
|
| I wonder how evil could thrive
|
| I wonder how in these last days all my people survive
|
| Reef is alive, screamin from the hilltops
|
| I’m from Hilltop, a nigga still box for lock like a skilled boxer
|
| We keep the meals hot, sometimes you’d have to steal pots
|
| I wonder does that make me a thief, I will not
|
| Allow them, to take up my space
|
| I wonder how many rappers would die without MySpace
|
| I wonder
|
| My mind gets to roaming and my mouth gets to opening
|
| when the madness gon' stop out here
|
| It’s getting wild out here, they licking shots out here
|
| Crooked cops set us up and get knocked out here
|
| My mind gets to roaming and my mouth gets to opening
|
| when the madness gon' stop out here
|
| It’s getting wild out here, they licking shots out here
|
| No education, no jobs out here
|
| Ayo I wonder why we still overseas
|
| Is it cause we care about Iraqis? |
| Is it oil and greed?
|
| I wonder what they do with our cheese
|
| They raise money for research, but never cure no disease
|
| I wonder why they fucking with me for puffin my trees
|
| But drunks still get trashed and, handed they keys
|
| In the ignition, listen this mean something to me
|
| So I wonder what make a rapper claim he’s not a MC
|
| See I write for dead homies and my brothers in streets
|
| My peoples, my mother, and my baby mother-to-be
|
| So no I don’t respect a nigga who spit nuttin but ki’s
|
| I wonder if these kids know each hustling schemes
|
| You sell coke? |
| We need to be discussing they dreams
|
| Young boy said «It's nothin cause I’m fucking with D.»
|
| I looked him dead in his face so our eyes could meet
|
| And asked him what he really want his life to be
|
| He said, «I wonder.»
|
| Is this all about ice and gems?
|
| I wonder where does your soul go when your life should end
|
| Do you come back as a Maybach? |
| Maybe a Rolls Royce
|
| I wonder how many kids I’d have if not for pro-choice
|
| I had no voice, until the beat came
|
| I wonder how many black men in America these streets claimed
|
| Enough to fill the NFL with like three teams
|
| I wonder why they glamorize the shit when they should seek change
|
| I wonder what my friend’s mom felt
|
| When she had to identify his body, and could not tell
|
| If that was him or not cause they filled his top with a million shots
|
| Fuck you fake thug niggas dawg, this is the block
|
| I wonder what happened to this music of hip and hop
|
| Now it’s fizzle pop, so don’t wonder when your shit just flop
|
| I wonder why you go to jail, unless you is a cop
|
| I wonder who killed Malcolm and Martin as much as Big and 'Pac
