Remeber back in da time
  When da only sign we had was picket
  But now in '94 it be
  This way somethin' come wicked
  Gangs killin' others fo colors
  Thangs that we wear fo fashion
  Other brothers take it fo a reason
  To be blastin' what da cuff is goin' on
  Not soft like buttercupus but
  Had enough of singin' dat same song
  See I stayed across da street from da projects
  Took out yo momma trash and groceries
  To her trunk to keep my pockets
  Fat like cellulite only been to jail one week
  Fo some shullbit and I pray to God I won't repeat
  I shoulda pulled it when I had da chance to
  No I shouldna did dat 'cause if I did dat
  Yall would not hear dat fat shit
  Dat keeps you on yo tippy -
  Toes like dat sellout not callin' no names
  But really who's bad
  I go through obstacles like a whole box
  Of condoms you can't forget
  Where you come from
  Take a good look in the mirror and tell
  Me do you like what you see
  Masters of deception corruption and evil
  But you're always quick to point the finger
  At me
  Won't somebody tell me
    [Chorus]
  I just don't understand
  The ways of the world today
  Sometimes I feel like there's nothing
  To live for
  So I'm longing for the days of yesterday
    What gave you the right to misjudge me
  And write me off on the wall
  Acting as if you understand me
  In reality you just don't know me at all
  Sometimes I can't help but wonder
  If this was how it's meant to be
  But if you search deep enough in your soul
  You'll always find a slight reminder of me
  Won't somebody tell me
    [Chorus]
    A-yo
  If we could all agree to lettin'
  Our souls become free of that sweet
  Bitterness then whose chest would
  Have the most seeds
  I keep misfocusin' my needs
  And this stress on my back
  With them caps they be blastin'
  Into my knap sack
  Ain't no accidental deathtraps
  My mishap is the fact that
  I'm destined to snap
  It's when I feel as though my body's
  Able to go my mind is ready to flow
  Did you know first you catch
  And then I throw
  It's my own sense of time
  If I'm late it's 'cause I'm endin' my day
  Just when the sun shines
  And still gently advising the arisin'
  Of the moon as it rolls around
  Into my soundproof dimension
    [Chorus]
