[Black Thought]
2
Yeah, sitting in the staircase, holding back tears
3
Looking over mad years worth of photographs
4
Pictures of some places I ain't never going back
5
Some people I used to love, why I ain't show them that?
6
The skies was overcast, when I was sober last
7
My head is spinning, couldn't tell you if it's slow or fast
8
It's starting to get too clear, I got to go and grass
9
To y'all it's a shame but life is what we know it as
10
Waiting, navigating the plot, without plans
11
In the car, it's hard to read as a clock with no hands
12
How your man's goin' get up and stop with no yams
13
All it take is one break, it could pop the program
14
Whether sinning or not, my back bending like I'm sentenced a lot
15
I feel some brothers is beginning to plot
16
It might have been a close friend I forgot
17
Who started up and ain't remember to stop
18
I bet these niggaz going remember the shop
19
[Hook]
20
People think that I'm crazy, just cause I wanna be alone
21
You can't depend on friends to help you in a squeeze
22
We all deal with shit on our own
23
And sometimes the beef can grow, get out of hand
24
Yeah, you know it gets full blown
25
I never said that you mean the world to me
26
Maybe it's best that you never know
27
Yo, I'm like Malcom out the window with the weapon out
28
Searching for somehow to find a minute or the second now
29
Precious time is money that I ain't got to mess about
30
Need it from the horse's mouth or from my eye with less account
31
Lessons with my back to the wall, scoping my session out
32
Stay a little edgy at times when I ain't stressing bout
33
Haters don't know shit about me, they the ones that talk shit
34
Those that love me send it out, so I ain't got to force quit
35
Cause I'm doing better now, don't mean I never lost shit
36
I was married to a state of mind and I divorced it, man
37
I'm from where brothers moving product from the porches
38
People locking their doors, clutching to their crosses
39
The block hot by the law, there ain't too many choices
40
So what I do is for y'all, there ain't too many voices left
41
I watch my back, and watch my step
42
And I might forgive, but I will not forget come on
43
[Hook]
44
Yo, living in turbulent times
45
The blind leading the blind
46
Some call it evolution, some say intelligent design
47
You say you want a revolution, you out of your mizind
48
Your sons' destitute, and their pops all in the prison
49
My man's back in the jam, he like the back of my hand
50
He just attracted to scam, he right back in the can
51
I never sleepwalking, you dig
52
You get your shuteye
53
I'm on the first thing in, I'm leaving on the red-eye
54
My brother back in rehab, just had another relapse
55
But fin himself, it's been like he's been fighting an energy
56
Half telling me nobody true when they pretend to be that
57
So closer than friends, that's where I keep my enemy at
58
To many parties concerned, it's time to live it and learn
59
Until we're able to grow, forever bridges we burn
60
My thoughts free as a bird, that's just about to emerge
61
And every action is heard, it speaks louder than words, yo
62
[Hook]
