Down The Road

I've been down this road before

I'm still, I'm still who you're looking for, oh

I've been looking for a place to hide

I feel, I feel your eyes

See right through my lies

My lies

These young artists is striving, they say it's hard surviving

They only authorizing, the rappers just harmonizing

Telling them not to worry, music is just modernizing

I beg to differ, 'cause if you look upon the horizon

You see a star is rising, nigga go by the handle Kryon

He like a man of iron compared to these dandelions

And what comeback? The underground, I been run that

It just suck I'm so stuck to the street like a run-flat

Though it only take one track to get you back

On my nutsack, I'm feeling like where the fuck is the love at?

I might as well make it rain, sleet, snow, hail

In this dry spell, I might as well come out of my shell

'Cause hip hop ain't been the same since I left it

Been trying to be positive, I guess was the wrong method

'Cause you can bring a dick to the pussy, but you can't make him F it

Now look what I'm left with: this

I've been down this road before

I'm still, I'm still who you're looking for, oh

I've been looking for a place to hide

I feel, I feel your eyes

See right through my lies

My lies

We got a black prez, still a lot of crackheads

My grandmother still can't afford her back meds

KRS already taught us 'bout them black feds

They don't wanna see us live, should we act dead?

Then they wonder why niggas rocking that red

It's the only sensible lifestyle that they ever led

Try putting it in his head, the more blood that's on the block

The more blood that's gon' shed, ch-check what he said

He said out here dodging the mortuaries not out of the ordinary

Our people are so gone that it's scary

So when we in the war, we ain't worried

Like a young G in the street is how I wanna be buried

Look shorty, you put it wrong, here go a thinking cap
