When da only sign we had was picket
But now in '94 it be
This way somethin' come wicked
Gangs killin' others for colors
Thangs that we wear for fashion
Other brothers take it for a reason
To be blastin' what da kcuf is goin' on
Not soft like buttercups 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
For some shullbit and I pray to God I won't repeat
I shoulda pulled it when I had da chance to
No I shouldna did dat 'cause if I did dat
Yall would not hear dat fat shit
Dat keeps you on yo tippy-
Toes like dat sellout 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 there's 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 know me at all
Sometimes I can't help but wonder
If this was how it's meant to be
But if you search deep enough 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 needs
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 is ready to flow
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
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 for colors Thangs that we wear for fashion Other brothers take it for a reason To be blastin' what da kcuf is goin' on Not soft like buttercups 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 For some shullbit and I pray to God I won't repeat I shoulda pulled it when I had da chance to No I shouldna did dat 'cause if I did dat Yall would not hear dat fat shit Dat keeps you on yo tippy- Toes like dat sellout 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 there's 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 know me at all Sometimes I can't help but wonder If this was how it's meant to be But if you search deep enough 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 needs 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 is ready to flow 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 Explain Request ×
