Stepping through a city of no hope
Where most blow smoke to cope
I quote flows for my chosen folk
Left to roam, feeling like I'm best alone
No quest for growth
I question most to find freedom
Humble teachings led me to believe in
Respecting the essence of every lesson that I've needed
Each one, teach one 'til our blessings repeated
Watching the winter sunset as I rest for the season
Reminiscing on summer, searching for reason
Love turned to lust, I paid the cost of bereavement
Staring at bridges I burnt to earth feelings
Close to my foes, ain't got ahold of my demons
Nurturing souls, feel whole, these words healing
Unexplored regions I reach when
Piecing together what it means to be achieving (What does it mean?)
Me, I come a long way from days of drunk scheming
Back when I was young and dumb fiending for feeling
Found in my dreams when
I ain't drowning in waves of another weekend
Still bunk trains, it's Southern or South Eastern
Slave to my ways, I rave 'til sun's peaking
Young guns chopping up grub for sluts beaking
Numb tongues rubbing on gums while drums beatin'
An ode to these glum city slums we all breathe in (Shit)
Me I can't believe what's begun
Seems like we're all in need of a reason to run from
Things that we done wrong, I question where love's gone
I pour liquor in despair for my loved ones
Caught in the years, fought tears to be above some
False cheers from false peers, I couldn't trust none (I couldn't)
Left staring at a web that I spun
These memories hung, desperation severs my lungs
It's in the air, can't escape, it will eventually come
I travel landscapes in search of the unknown
Roaming these glum city slums we all call home
Caught in the time zone, searching the globe
Am I a slave to the ways of this place we know?
Watching life go by as new tales unfold
Scratching at the surface, searching for the worth that you're owed
When the fun's done, you're left alone with nothing to hold
When the fun's done, you're left alone with nothing but hope
See I been travelling these piss stained pavements
On weekends to figure out what sweet escape is
A break from the rat race and paper chasing
Me? I been drowning in waves of procrastination
We remain chained to the ways in which we were raised
Sad to say, some never made it out their situation
Others like myself carry on for those souls tainted
Whether you spitting lyrics or on them roads painting
No say, it's more than a pastime, it's a bold statement
Me, I been busy tryna fight the rotation
When nothing's left, I question my own faith in
The steps that a man takes to achieve greatness
From the estate rebel that peddles to seek papers
Evading bare faced snakes that bear hatred
To the estranged bredda who's fed up and can't change it
Dealing with heartache, past pressure and fast ageing
Many settle for less in order to grasp wages
Stay grafting, never starve the creation
Even though at times I feel as if my efforts are aimless
I blame no one but myself with my pen on these pages
Aching, and still searching for more
Ever questioned your worth through the worst of the storm?
These words I form serve as a purpose for
Myself and anyone else that felt the hurt before
Free my brother, he got grabbed by the hand of the law
Handling more than one man could carry, I'm sure
And pure fell victim to these ways that we ran with
Kids from the inner city plains understand this
Ends ain't the same, summers are plagued with madness
Like say anything's changed, so what's happening?
Grey clouds over urban decay we stand in
While I search to escape and break from anguish
I travel landscapes in search of the unknown
Roaming these glum city slums we all call home
Caught in the time zone, searching the globe
Am I a slave to the ways of this place we know?
Watching life go by as new tales unfold
Scratching at the surface, searching for the worth that you're owed
When the fun's done, you're left alone with nothing to hold
When the fun's done, you're left alone with nothing but hope
See I still been stepping
Shit ain't changed, I tell you that
Still waving it with the same faces
I guess some things you can't change
But, that's life
That's life
That's life
