i keep a bullet in air you can figure it out / i guess the words go by too fast for you to figure them out / i keep the words locked in key / said they're headed south / had the choice i'd pull the words right out of your mouth
yo preacher / stand on the pulpit / talk, you're full of it / like we don't know you play with boys / you're coy / when it's brought to the light as such / you do the same thing they accuse Michael of ain't no justice / what is just is... / i'm smarter than the ivy league averages / but you see my long hair / so i don't belong here? / you're right / but you got the wrong fear...
we're hangin onto the door just like your anchor holds onto the ocean floor
i been down and lost, hurt, distraught / 'til what i never thought of jumped off / the game got harder / i believe in karma / dont think i dont feel the pain i'm the cause of / still some laugh and mock, much more jus talk bout spots and stocks they got / stuck on the porch, drunk of course / an off-screen lost scene, what? remorse? nah.. / they aint sure bout us / they already know / they tryin to hold us / how far will it go?
i keep a bullet in air you can figure it out / i guess the words go by too fast for you to figure them out / i keep the words locked in key / said they're headed south / had the choice i'd pull the words right out of your mouth
they say take off my hat when im in this building / it's disrespect, what about my feelings? / pull up my pants? / turn down my music? / why cant i be the way i want because i choose it? / cant you loosen intrusive nooses? / the youth is fruitful / we aint just useless / yes i got an attitude / no i wont lose it / if i had less / id probably lose it
from a whisper to a shout, it's just the feelin i get now you can fill your diary out
i aint no doctor / or solicitor for partner / ima tour the world with my pahtnaz / stop lecturin and venturin thoughts / you teachin a lesson? i dont learn by force / if they press play, i play my part if they hate, it aint my fault / this is an all day account of heart / if you aint us then i guess it's hard but they aint sure bout us though / they already know / they tryin to hold us yo! / how far will it go?
i keep a bullet in air you can figure it out / i guess the words go by too fast for you to figure them out / i keep the words locked in key / said they're headed south / had the choice i'd pull the words right out of your mouth (ch.x3)
so your planning on leaving / i know i know i know its up on me / so you plan to deceive me / i know i know Virginia symphony
half empty / bent in a broken glass / i'm usually lifted skippin class / cinqo mas in minutes pass / risin rates and smokin hash / ay! you decay by design / i'll reconsider / remind me why i should be re-depictin your desires again
pigeon hole everything cut from the skin / paper cut roll your mind again / i been left for the taking for the taking / oh walk through the fire and run through the walls / shots ringing out in the high school halls / you never see it coming but it's not our fault she's leaving / so your planning on leaving i know i know i know it's up on me / so you plan to deceive me i know i know Virginia / Symphony / so your planning on leaving i know i know i know it's up on me / so you plan to deceive me i know i know Virginia symphony
ay playa, say uhh / did you hear that sound? / what's goin down? / why... isn't that a musket a-fire? / the tussle must be for power / the same kind that lost em all in the towers / is that them folk nobody talked to down there on a 'bag and tie-up'?
just throw me out / i'm cast aside / i'm throwin slugs / they say they just throwin stones / while you sit there on your throne / nightmares sleep down the hall of the corridor / we're in the midst of an entire society bein endroned
oh walk through the fire and run through the walls / shots ringing out in the high school halls / you never see it coming but it's not our fault she's leaving / so your planning on leaving i know i know i know it's up on me / so you plan to deceive me i know i know Virginia symphony / so your planning on leaving i know i know i know it's up on me / so you plan to deceive me i know i know Virginia symphony (ch.x2)
the lights go down we try to hide / those pill that eat you up in side / ink runs right through my veins / it's toxic in the city
another day goes lookin for victims / i think i'm leavin / i'm takin my ego man i'm driftin / believe me / i've had my share of downs / ups seem to take a detour around / opportunity makes no sound / last week i had two dimes rubbin together / this week one needs a sweater / and the other took a step up / ain't no let up / see ain't no time like now to feel change / that's why / this runs right through my veins / i'm the same dude you caught mid-thought sheildin the flame / from a simple society that sees you between the seams / i miss Dean and Jerome cause they'd know what i mean / i miss Dean and Jerome cause they'd know
the lights go down we try to hide / those pills that eat you up inside / ink runs right through my veins / it's toxic in the city / i'd live a photo if i could / run down abandon neighborhood / crossed out its where they all belong / it's toxic in the city
i walk into the street like i'm steppin out a plane / i see the bigger picture / lookin at the detail in the frame / i'm from a place you'd call / a broke down neighborhood / but still i wouldn't / change it if i could / young minds like mine they know it good / but we never ever seem to let the folk know who should / this look / it give a whole new meanin to cook / and left on the hook to purge / reportin from the valley on the verge of a riot / settin the back row on fire / so quiet / tryin to make that ol' man into a liar / the lights get brighter as the stash gets higher / but the creep from the bottom's like the tip-toe of a lion, feel me
the lights go down we try to hide / those pills that eat you up inside / ink runs right through my veins / it's toxic in the city / i'd live a photo if i could / run down abandon neighborhood / crossed out its where they all belong / it's toxic in the city
if you don't see it different then agree to disagree / find your core set it free / and leave that law letter be / lose the grip of a tease / and let the breeze blow chill / when you're gone are your folk gonna drink 'bout him? / now does talk get overshadowed by the walkin / son don't bluff go all in / if you're stuck on up and shallow that's your callin baby / ain't no time like the lost to find a gain / yeah, your voice is the loudest / but how many folk know your name? really…
the lights go down we try to hide / those pills that eat you up inside / ink runs right through my veins / it's toxic in the city / i'd live a photo if i could / run down abandon neighborhood / crossed out its where they all belong / it's toxic in the city (ch.x2)
