Generate meaning
1
It's been two years, man
2
Of, of, of waitin', man
3
(Can it be I stayed away too long?)
4
From my supporters and my fans, man I know y'all been waitin'
5
Now it's finally here and thank you for your patience
6
The world's gone crazy since we last spoke
7
Bloodshed and war, the absence of hope
8
Shootin' at the school, economy's a joke
9
Homies on heroine, homies on coke
10
But can you even blame 'em when they only tryin' to cope, damn?
11
(Can it be I stayed away too long?)
12
All these rappers wanna talk about is guns and dope
13
Don't they realize, we all at the end of our rope
14
The future all depends in the power of our quotes
15
The power of a pen, the power of a vote
16
The power of your words, the power of your voice
17
The power of America's the freedom of choice
18
We choose to do nothin', we lose and we sufferin'
19
(Can it be?)
20
That it's time to do somethin'
21
It's not socialism, it's not communism
22
It's lovin' each other, realize there's no difference
23
It's positive movement, gradual improvement
24
When no one else does believe you can do it
25
My heart is a speaker, I bleed this music
26
The beat's in my blood, I must transfuse it
27
If it wasn't for this, yeah I just might lose it, damn
28
(Can it be I stayed away too long?)
29
My goddaughters, Nadia, Simone
30
Diana know when not our father's ever comin' home
31
Claim by the streets with them other war zone
32
Tears in my eyes as I'm writin' this song
33
Mommy workin' two jobs, tryin' to do it on her own
34
No matter where I go or how far I roam
35
Know that I love and you'll never be alone
36
(Can it be?)
37
Damn, y'all so grown
38
And a, and a wise man told me, man like
39
(You don't have to worry 'cause I'm coming)
40
Life is like a table full of like glasses of water
41
(Back to where I should have always stayed)
42
And your job is to keep 'em all full, you know what I'm sayin'
43
So everyone's happy
44
(And now, I've heard the maybe to your story)
45
But at the same time, you gotta keep your pitcher full of water
46
So you could fill everybody else up
47
(And it's enough love for me to stay)
48
And it's like, damn
49
(Can it be I stayed away too long?)
50
From the independent hip hop scene
51
Now they talkin' like how I'm not a hip hop fiend
52
Needle in my arm, can't they see I'm O. D. 'in?
53
You'll never take the strife from this triple O. G. In
54
I blaze trails, created festivals
55
Lost fifty G's on paid dues, is that acceptable
56
What? I'm not down for the cause
57
(Can it be?)
58
Hold on Mike, I'ma need a few bars
59
I could've done the Nas and scream hip hop is dead
60
I got up off my ass and I did somethin' instead
61
Signed with the devil, brought the scene up a level
62
Killed the beast from within, I'm a born again rebel
63
Tryin' to save the youth from the way of the gun
64
And if I only save one then my job is done
65
So you can say what you will but you should judge me none
66
(Can it be I stayed away too long?)
67
From my God, from my faith as I move place to place
68
Times I thought if I could just die it'd be great
69
Drop on the spot, man I didn't even care
70
I stopped talkin' to you, I stopped sayin' prayers
71
Numb from the liquor and the antidepressants
72
Pressure from the label, studio stressin'
73
Almost lost my passion to pursue this profession
74
(Can it be I stayed away too long?)
75
From myself, from my soul when I'm out on the road
76
I give so much shout to these kids I don't know
77
I thought I lost you with no one to talk to
78
But you're the one that open up these doors that I walk through
79
I can't fault you, only forgive you
80
I'm the only one that seen the pain that you been through
81
The drama, the struggle that built all your issues
82
(Can it be I stayed away too long?)
83
The drama, the struggle, that built all these issues
84
Is all just to make sure they never forget you
85
Did I leave your mind when I was gone?
86
It's not my thing trying to get back
87
But this time let me tell you where I'm at
