| I’ve been down this road befooooore
|
| I’m still, I’m still who you’re lookin for, ohhh
|
| I been lookin for a place to hiiiiide
|
| I feel, I feel your eyes
|
| See right through my liiiiiiii-iiiiiiife
|
| Ahhh-ahhhhhhhh…
|
| My life
|
| Uh-huh
|
| These young artists is strivin, they say it’s hard survivin
|
| They only authorizin them rappers that’s harmonizin
|
| Tell them to not to worry, music is just modernizin
|
| I beg to differ cause if you look upon the horizon
|
| You see a star is risin and go by the handle Brian
|
| He like a man of iron compared to these dandelions
|
| And what comeback? |
| The underground I been run that
|
| It just suck, I’m so stuck to the street like a run flat
|
| Yo it only take one track to get you back on my nutsack
|
| I’m feelin like «Where the fuck is the love at?»
|
| I might as well make it rain, sleet, snow, hail in this dry spell
|
| I might as well come out of my shell, hell
|
| Cause hip-hop ain’t been the same since I left it
|
| And tryin to be positive I guess was the wrong method
|
| Cause you could bring a dick to the pussy but you can’t make him F it
|
| Now look what I’m left with — this
|
| We got a black prez, still a lot of crackheads
|
| My grandmother still can’t afford her back meds
|
| KRS already taught us 'bout them black feds
|
| They don’t wanna see us live, do we act dead?
|
| Then they wonder why niggaz rockin that red
|
| It’s the only sensible lifestyle, the day of a lead
|
| Try and put it in his head
|
| The more Bloods that’s on the block the more blood that’s gon' shed
|
| Ch-check what he said
|
| He said out here dodgin the mortuary is not outta the ordinary
|
| Our people is so poor that it’s scary
|
| Cause when we in a war we ain’t worried
|
| Like a young G in the street is how I wanna be buried
|
| Look shorty, you put it wrong, here go a thinkin cap
|
| Now put it on, with that mentality you’re as good as gone
|
| Lyin there with the bystanders lookin on
|
| I ain’t tryin to cook it calm, I’m tryin to put you on
|
| I’ve been down this road befooooore
|
| I’m still, I’m still who you’re lookin for, ohhh
|
| I been lookin for a place to hiiiiide
|
| I feel, I feel your eyes
|
| See right through my life |
