What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
I came from a place I forgot
2
I woke up in a parking lot
3
Far from a meal and a cot
4
On the corner
5
Where all the streets got the same name
6
Maybe my brains on the brink of insane
7
Pain between the papers while sleepin' on the train
8
This the land of milk and honey
9
Know what I'm sayin'
10
The invisible man times three black, down and out
11
Out standing on a corner no doubt
12
Now a nation of homeless sleepin' in bus stations
13
Another win for the pilgrims who said no more Haitians
14
As I proceed someone to feed me is what I need
15
Through three blocks of dealers tryin to hit me off wit weed
16
Avenue and boulevard hungry as a motherfucka
17
Hope to get a ride from a trucker
18
Everybody know I ain't no sucker
19
Everyone used to drop 30 at the rucker
20
Away from crazy kids in generation wrecked
21
Dissin' pyramids while praisin' projects
22
Walk past old folks gettin' no respect
23
Callin' young folks a bunch a no good rejects and I walk on
24
An eye for an eye I can't recognize the man in the mirror
25
Is it I, it is I now who this cat I'm lookin' at
26
'Cause I've been waiting so long to get where I'm goin'
27
An for an eye in this country tis of thee
28
Now how the hell can I be free
29
Who this cat I'm lookin' at
30
'Cause I been lost so long without anybody knowin'
31
So I move on and I walk on
32
Past the preachers and the pimps gettin' their talk on
33
Now why do home gotta be where the negative roam
34
To be or not to be so I roll alone
35
I'm trapped within this skin and these bones
36
Temporary kings on cellular phones
37
Can I last as I walk past
38
Cigarette billboards and malt liquor ads
39
Walkin' on broken bottles and potato chip bags
40
Everyone I see got the nerve to brag
41
Where they from what they got and don't own squat
42
Disrespect where they from and ya might get shot
43
Zombies askin' me what the latest bomb be
44
Should shot the fuckin' sheriff and the fuckin' deputy
45
For okay in the drug trade and lettin' it be
46
But I know prison for me is an industry so I walk
47
I heard the best things in life be free
48
Didn't god make the land the air we breathe
49
Not for the homeless don't give a damn about me
50
In the mirror somebody else is starin' at me
51
Maybe prison is the skin I'm within
52
All this time I been sufferin' can't fix it wit a bufferin'
53
Plus they said I'll never work in this town again
54
Damn so I keep on walkin'
55
An eye for an eye, I can't recognize the man in the mirror
56
Is it I, it is I now who this cat I'm lookin' at
57
'Cause I've been waiting so long to get where I'm goin'
58
An for an eye in this country tis of thee
59
Now how the hell can I be free
60
Who this cat I'm lookin' at
61
'Cause I been lost so long without anybody knowin'
62
Li'l day day is big day and just did time
63
Seen him standin' on the unemployment line
64
Which collided wit the line of the health clinic
65
I seen crazy Stacy her ass standin' up in it
66
No more welfare cut her Medicaid
67
Damn my mama used to do her braids
68
I keep walkin so they don't see me
69
But I doubt if they doin' any better than me
70
So I walk on never take the planet for granted
71
I paved the concrete, asphalt and granite
72
I walk past 3 brothers sittin' on the porch
73
Wit a yard of dirt and littered wit Newports
74
Talkin' how they comin' up while they sittin' on their ass
75
As I walk past em I'm a target of their laughs
76
And one said lets get 'em for his fuckin' stash
77
As I walked fast past the other yards wit grass
78
Had a li'l cash tried to make it last
79
From a few deals I made from cleanin' windshields
80
I ran like a rally they caught me in an alley
81
Can't get out the ghetto from New York to Cali
82
I thought I had nuthin' till I felt the knife
83
And now I ain't even got a life
