sum thin wicked this way comes

Remember back in the time
When the only sign we had was picket
But now in '94 it be
This way somethin' come wicked
Gangs killin' others for colors
Things that we wear for fashion
Other brothers take it for a reason
To be blastin' what the cuff is goin' on
Not soft like buttercupus but
Had enough of singin' that same song
See I stayed across the street from the projects
Took out your 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 shoulthe pulled it when I had the chance to

No I shouldn't did that 'cause if I did that
Y'all would not hear that fat * ***
That keeps you on your tippy
Toes like that 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
I just don't understand

The ways of the world tothey

Sometimes I feel like there's nothing
To live for
So I'm longing for the theys of yesterthey

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
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

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 knapsack

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

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

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
