remember back in da time
when da only sign we had was picket
but now in ’94 it be
this way somethin’ come wicked
gangs killin’ others fo colors
thangs that we wear fo fashion
other brothers take it fo a reason
to be blastin’ what da kcuf is goin’ on
not soft like butter cups but
had enough of singin’ dat same song
see i stayed across da street from da projects
took out yo momma trash and groceries
to her trunk to keep my pockets
fat like cellulite only been to jail one week
fo some shullbit and i pray to god i won’t repeat
i shoulda pulled it when i had the chance to
no i shouldna pulled it when i had the chance to
yall would not hear dat fat shit
dat keeps you on you on yo tippy
toes like dat sell out not callin’ no names
but really who’s bad
i go through obstacles like a whole box
of condoms you can’t forget
where you come from
take a good look in the mirror and tell
me do you like what you see
masters of deception corruption and evil
but your always quick to point the finger
at me
won’t somebody tell me
chorus
i just don’t understand
the ways of the world today
sometimes i feel like thereÕs nothing
to live for
so i’m longing for the days of yesterday
what gave you the right to misjudge me
and write me off on the wall
acting as if you understand me
in reality you just don’t understand me at all
sometimes i can’t help but wonder
if this was how it’s meant to be
but if you search deep in your soul
you’ll always find a slight reminder of me
won’t somebody tell me
chorus
a yo
if we could all agree to lettin’ our souls
become free of that sweet
bitterness then whose chest would
have the most seeds
i keep misfocusin’ my need
and this stress on my back
with them caps they be blastin’
into my knapsack
ain’t no accidental deathtraps
my mishap is the fact that
i’m destined to snap
it’s when i feel as though my body’s
able to go my mind ready to floe
did you know first you catch
and then i throw
it’s my own sense of time
if i’m late it’s cause i’m endin’ my day
just when the sun shines
and still gently advising the arisin’
of the moon as it rolls around
into my soundproof dimension
chorus
