Lyrics:
space over the water
I got insight it's a clear case of reading your aura
Man, what you got for us as my Black men stand in line like a chorus
Makin'
a time where once I
Was king of the underground
But I still rap like I'm
On my Pharoahe Monch grind
So I crunch rhymes
But sometimes when you combine
the morning a new door could open by the night a older door could close
And what's behind that door could be tears, frustration,resentment I don't know
But I
When I started man was a novice
When I put in work I noticed man was going up unnoticed
I was dreaming looking at stages
Man was reading looking up
was laid
By the yellow man
We pledge allegiance
All our lives
To the magic colors
Red, blue and white
But we all must be given
The liberty that
and start to jot some
Always told myself that I would never be losin'
Man, I ain't have no hood, my mother was always movin' (damn)
From Detroit to Texas,
it
I too once thought I was owed something
I was hoping
I was hoping we could challenge each other
I was hoping
I was hoping we could crack each
it
I too once thought I was owed something
I was hoping
I was hoping we could challenge each other
I was hoping
I was hoping we could crack each
I laid on a dune, I looked at the sky
When the children were babies and played on the beach
You came up behind me, I saw you go by
You were always
see that he wasn't a large man
I could tell that he wasn't too tall
I judged him to be 'bout five-foot three
And his voice was a soft Texas drawl
man, I hope she fine
Let her know I tried, let her know I said hi
Miss it when you and I
Against the world like kids in juvenile
Side by side like
What if a brick was only just a misdemeanor?
What if Manhattan was hit by Hurricane Katrina?
What if a black man was the one controlling Fema?
What if
Ohh, Oh, Ohh
Once upon a, once upon a
Time
Once upon a, once upon a
Time
It wasn't that long ago I was
Layin' there in my room
Wishin' on a shooting
we’ve been through this before
I never could find a cure
but that was then this is now
Time Waits For No One
a year goes by in the wink of an eye
Time
There once was a note pure and easy
Playing so free like a breathe rippling by
The note is eternal
I hear it, it sees me
Forever we blend
Fooyah
Fooyah
Mama told me dont
Momma told me dont do it
I was signed to the cocaine
Coached by the yayo
Running plays with the dope man
Having
Man I live by faith not feelings
Man I said faith not feelings
Enemy plotting and scheming
But I'm living by faith not feelings
Man I said faith not
on a straw
Rubber ball man
A poster on the wall
Of a dear friend
I wish there was a way that I could show you
How your songs set me free
The hero
I put my life on my music and everything around me
Streets that I was raised on, livin' on so ruggedly
So I decided way back in the day
That I
Little mama so hood - I fucked your girl
Little mama so fly - I fucked your girl
Man, the pussy was good - I fucked your girl
Man, I ain't gon' lie -
last
The girl on the street was once somebody's daughter
Yeah the girl on the street was once somebody's friend
To the girl on the street one more lamb
tryin' to prove
To they homies that they can hang by dealin' with me
But once again in the end they D-E-A-D
I never did time on a murder yet
'Cause I
Jim's wife
She had done a lot of bad things even once tried suicide
Was lookin' to do just one good deed before she died
She was gazin' to the future
the boy, I once was in my eyes
Nobody's gonna save my lif
We are wicked men
Looking for our buckles to loosen
By the count of ten
I wanna see somebody
