Generate meaning
1
Expect the unexpected
2
[Intro x4]
3
It's kinda hard to keep faith in the things that you do
4
When everybody turns their back on you
5
[Verse 1]
6
Yeah, I know a city that's surrounded by a beautiful beach
7
The economy boosted by the drugs they move in the street
8
Water clearer than the crystal sky, blue as the beast
9
But the people ain't got shoes for they feet or food to eat
10
So they hurtin' but what's for certain
11
You can get you some heat
12
And over beef you laid to rest like you was getting some sleep
13
Where the little kids get ammunition
14
You can't get no nutrition
15
Or any type of suitable living condition, listen
16
They'll shoot you over that paper
17
It's just survival, it's human nature
18
To put you out your misery like euthanasia
19
Don't let 'em fool you
20
We ain't different than the youth in Asia
21
Africa, Europe, it's a small world, we truly neighbors
22
If they the third world then who the first to get to heaven
23
I know it's hard but who does God choose
24
To go through it worst, usually it's his prophets
25
Ask a cat what really matters nowadays
26
Usually it's his pockets
27
[Chorus]
28
We gotta get back to what really matters
29
We gotta search our soul to find out what we're after
30
The more I find my voice the more they try to make it harder
31
Mom and Dad don't forget to warn your sons and daughters
32
About the nature of the world today
33
The nature of the world today
34
The nature of the world today
35
The nature of the world today
36
[Verse 2]
37
Don't nobody talk no more they all text message
38
Drivin' and typin', not payin' attention
39
Missin' they next exit, dependin' on navigation
40
They never know where they goin'
41
They stayin' stuck in one spot they not growin'
42
I'm so over cryin'
43
Waitin' and hopin'
44
Playin' the blame game
45
The game changed
46
We in a different world like Dwayne Wayne
47
I'm gettin' high just to maintain
48
Take my music like a drug and drop the needle in the same vein
49
I get a rush like I'm tweeking off blow
50
Except it ain't via the nose it's from deep in my soul
51
The street slang I be speakin' in code
52
Kickin' the doors, freakin' the flow til the speakers explode
53
We in control the people know I speak the truth
54
The power in my roots is thicker than sour sop
55
And it's so strongly bustin' out the flowerpot
56
Family tradition is to tell 'em you love 'em
57
While your family living from granny and the kitchen
58
The little man in prison
59
[Chorus]
60
[Intro x4]
61
[Justin]
62
I'm just trying to get back to what really matters
63
I'm trying to search my soul to find out what I'm after
64
But the more I find my voice
65
The more they try to make it harder
66
So Mom and Dad don't forget to warn your sons and daughters
67
About the nature of the world today
68
The nature of the world today
69
The nature of the world today
70
The nature of the world today
71
[Talib]
72
Yeah, it's all natural baby
73
It's how we put it down
74
Yeah, Brooklyn and Tennessee
75
You gon' remember me
76
Yeah, yeah, break it down
