Lyrics:
and I'mma leave you behind
At times I feel like my back's against the wall
And if y'all ain't with me, then it's me against y'all
I stand my ground, that's
a better man
And when I saw that dress, saw my whole life
A thousand nights lay by your side
You told me you'd never felt so alive
Now in your eyes I see
false alarm
They want to do us harm like I'm nervous
Live inside a glass house
They want to bring us down
Then drag us out
It's all about niggas that
I just wanna dance
Turn the stereo up two
The 80's never passed
Take a chance
We can find new
Lives if you want to
Leave this world behind (Behind
Got my semi in the stall
Ain't behind me, we all get boss
Get in front of me, you get bossed
Its a plaque I put on that wall
I know these labels
This World factory
Within these walls
They take our death as a bride
We live and die
A lifetime of human sacrifice
We find peace by avoiding life
Leaving
from holy
But this matrimony provided the script
To live on
And live by
Grow up and grow on
Get on and get by
So forth and so on
And this here's
hiding in the dark
If we could honor all
The rises and the falls
The world behind the walls
That makes us who we are
If we could open up
If we could learn
the stress behind you
Live outside the matrix free ya mind like Keanu
No piss poor ass conditions
No need to blame the man, or sheisty politicians
Got rid
insecurities I leave behind
Tonight I'll be parting my ways with my past life
To backtrack every moment in my time and try to settle it right
I live in the mud
Look, you live by the streets, you gon' die by the streets
Everyone know that's the code, bro Cuz in the feds facin' a 20 piece right
Now All cuz he
the norm
I'm gonna take the world by storm, just give this one listen more
If you ain't pick up what I said, you ain't really about it
This ain't slinging
You wanna know what trill is? Tell 'em Paul Wall
[Chorus]
I'm a survivor of the struggle, I live by the code
In the city where greed and envy
Blinded behind walls of
Self built stained glass
Focus enters eyes well watered
At last, the eyes with vision split
Hewn end to end, life force
You and I long to live like wind upon the water
If we close our eyes we'll maybe realize
There's more to life than what we have known
And I can't
You and I long to live like wind upon the water
If we close our eyes we'll maybe realize
There's more to life than what we have known
And I can't
Yeah, they know
But he check the lock every time he walk by the door
Never park right outside where he live
He don't want his ride outside his crib
is is
J Dilla, just like that, peace
END OF MESSAGE pre-saved, next message
Yeah, yeah it started with rhythms I heard
Listenin' to the wall
Sometimes it feels like love, at times it feels like war
Behind closed doors
We got a picket fence, some real friends we live a simple life
We lay our
you lecturin' the commoner
Behind all of your intentions you erect a wall
You can ask no soul, but they go to war
Only cause they really not a fan of ya
thing
And he hardly eats at all
He lives on sprouts that grow behind the wall
I doubt if he'll be lucky to last another day
Dapple Rose he doesn't
to the limit Live life That's right No lie Never felt like this
To be by your side got me feeling so bliss
My gift That's it Everything that i need
I mean I've
When the MCs came to live out their name
Inscribed in the halls and the walls of fame
Balancing life, wrote both the yin and yang
Hands buried the man
Okay anti-establishment track Streets on Fire
Let's set the roof on 'FIRE' lets tear the walls all down burn it straight to the ground
