It hangs on a wall, museum hall. As it calls to passers by. A picture so bright, seen without light. And nobody wonders why. . A tired old man stares at the wall.
I'm wandering these streets alone. They don't feel like home. This once hallowed ground. Feels like a ghost town now. I'm on the street corners everyday.
I don't know what you've been told. I'm hopin' you don't know. Your ears are ringing inside. Think I've got something to hide. . You give up. It's too much.
[mr. eon]. Mr. e is a top prospect, mic checks get rep, east-west connect. Come a little tighter, pull the all-nighter... --the high and the mighty--.
Not havin' it, my lightning, my thunder. It does not end. Not havin' it, my lightning my thunder. Not hav. . Xzibit, Defari. (Lightning, come on). Not havin' it.
Did I do something wrong?. Your feeling way too cold. For reasons I don't know. Don't seem to get along. But I'll follow you back home. Not worth it to be alone.
Aiyyo, put one in the air for the ancestors, y'know?. 'Cause without them there'd be no us, that's real. There's something on my mind, everyday, all the time.
Yeah nigga, MC Ren up in this motherfucker. (West West y'all). Yeah, L.A. niggas. L.A. niggas rule the world nigga. Y'all niggas gotta recognize, yaknahmsayin?.
Today I woke up and you were gone. The whole day wondering what I did wrong. It's like I'm falling from a, a mountaintop. My heart keeps pounding and it won't stop.
I ain't been sleeping well these days. I lie awake listening to the trains. Wishing for one of them. To come take me away. Lost my way every place I've been.
City slicker, what's the definition. Cavi waves, fresh fades, spank kicks and. Spank shirt man listen. The type of ladies out here be so pretty you wanna kiss em.
Today I woke up and you were gone. The whole day wondering what I did wrong. It's like I'm falling from a, a mountaintop. My heart keeps pounding and it won't stop.
I hope this finds you well. A father lost and mother dear. The family that's kept me here. Heartless and cold, and I've learned it well. How to loose everything.
[defari]. Take a chance, come dance with a cowboy. Playin stopped playin long time ago with childish toys. It's only men in here; deuce deuce inch pirelli.
Oh, yeah. Born no longer just a baby. Always trying to keep. In one place for long. Oh, long enough to sleep. . Oh, sleep and dreams are here the same.
It's going down around town what? Likwit Likwit 'No Doubt'. 'Knock 'Em Out The Box' Slick Rick 'Children's Story'. . Don't underestimate the reach. Here comes that city brother who lives by the beach.
I stand next to an empty grave. Where my friends will lay. I'll put their bodies down. Into their resting place.. Got a purple heart. For a wound and scar.
I've broken clean free off the leach now. I don't have to go and please you anymore. You fooled me, fooled them, fooled the whole crowd. You're not up on that cloud to look down anymore.
