I think happiness went thataway Sometimes you just have to wait I never believed in God But things got so fucked up That I had to pray
Used to steal my DaddyÂŽs Cabernet Never thought that it would turn into a rattlesnake Thinking, everything will be all right If we could get through the week Maybe see another Saturday Rolling round, we know where to go Argue with the homies over whoÂŽs gonna roll Bumping Goodie Mob, have some food for the soul Till itÂŽs two in the mornÂŽ When rain hits the windshield And everything is still Nothing really is a big deal One hand on the steering Wheel And we gonÂŽ be all right
I had a brown paper bag St. Ides in that motherfucker
Around the city we smash 5-0 coming, then you know IÂŽm running Crawl into broken fences, when shit gets hard You know who your friend is And when I lose perspective Need to go to a place where I lose reception Looking at the satellites pass by Reflecting on my past life I can barely remember last night Another morning, swearing itÂŽs the last time Where would I be ? We canÂŽt start over, you donÂŽt get a new ID I know the devil fancy me But that donÂŽt mean the motherfucker get to dance with me
I bought a house, second guessing what I own now (What?)
Traffic moving kinda slow now (What?) I watch the population grow wild (What?) A bunch of people I donÂŽt know now (What?) My cityÂŽs changed and my zoned out I thought about New York, maybe SoCal Put up condos people canÂŽt afford now Landmarks bulldozed, been tore down Overpopulated but can seem like a ghost town Keep a couple real ones with me when it goes down Lack of diversity, I think about Sloane now Only reason I would ever leave my hometown If I still drink, I would crack a 40 ounce Parents finally left, moved away, and they sold the house ItÂŽs really hard to ignore it now Wish that we could sort it out Last couple sips, pour it out St. Ides
