Lyrics
He looked at me like he knew me
Unlike one of his homies
Like something he saw in me
Made him feel a little less lonely
Nothing phony here but Verizon
Over horizons all tell
Ain't all well
Niggas been broke since fall fell
Young but can't be dumb
Through slums of hard living
Just 12 selling through rum shells
Pondering God-isms
I acknowledge small wisdom
Facing rain after pain again
Nurtured by the nature of my environment
Yet still an alien
Unguided
Each day is an uncharged experience
Needing Galileo to bring his halo
And lead me to the stars
The Land Rover to red rocks of Mars
'Stead of steering handle bars
Past death spots and cars
Door to door, hand to hand
Deliver rocks of death to man
Necessity provides the circumstance
Streets teach the devil's dance
They tangled and tongue-kissed this young man
I'm one of many
Who come from any hood USA
Where those addicted are willing to pay
The price of life to stay
Medicated, insulated from strife
A soul stole with a hit from the pipe
Street lights look down on evil doers
Sewer entrepreneurs
Two weeks newer than the last ones that died
This young guy yet to encounter the high
Keeps looking at me funny like he's wondering why
It's nine to fives for the people my age
But I just loiter on the corner with my people all day
While many different people come with people that pay
And I just selling people evil sending people away
You can't go back that way
You can't expect to come back and find things the same way
It's all in your mind state
Your heart should never leave
(You gotta keep moving)
'Cause there come a time when
All of this comes to be what it has been
You can't go back that way
You're gonna have to go
I think he's onto the game
Wiser to the ways of the days
Willing to give his life for this trade
'Cause it pays
Remembering his broke phase
His couldn't afford to smoke days
But now he keep his pockets fat off sacks of sleeper
Digis weighing out reefer
Riding city banging speakers
Nostrils blowing out reefer
Yes the year is Space Invaders
The only game that I played
'Til life invaded my space and de-elevated my dreams
Abuse due to lack of wisdom
But downtown they call it capitalism
He just included slight revisions
Earlier eluded death in prison
But one day the bullets failed to miss him
He was bled to death by the system
I should have listened
His interaction spoke to me
But ignorance met bad opportunity
And eloped through me
And then the man's bigger plan
It drained my septic bank
His reverence stands hands waving me
Back to heaven's ranks
You can't take me back, take me back
To what I used to know
Take me back, take me back
To what I am today
You can't go back that way
You can't come back and expect to find things the same way
It's all in your mind state
You're gonna have to go
I never knew what I'd find
I never knew where to go
I only know that most things I never knew
And I know I can't just do what I'm told
I never knew what I'd find
I never knew where to go
I only know that most things I never knew
And I know I can't just do what I'm told
