Chorus
Sometimes I wanna get away from all the confusion
Causin' pollution
I know you wish you could run away from this institution
Cause there's no solution, to survive
Another day when I'm waking up
I turn my TV on CNN
Another homie done bit the dust, my best friend's back up in the pen
Somebody hit the twin towers, ? and the buildings came tumbling down
All we could do was watch in tears
While the people of America wondered how we let it go down
Then, I heard a sound when I turned around
This old man said pray for me
Said I've been in the world for 88 long years and please don't let my knowledge pass you by
I looked him in the eyes, and gave him a smile and said mister I don't mean no harm
But you ain't going nowhere, so just pull up a chair
I got greens fresh off the farm
And with that he pulled a dolla from his pocket and said youngin' ima give it a try
I said hold up pops, I ain't forget about the knowledge you promised so pass it by
and then he said...
Chorus
From dusk to dawn, mom's always tellin me you must move on
Let the past be the last thing to adjust you son
And I trust you mom
But that doesn't change my lust for fun, wanna bust my gun
Wasn't much to some, didn't measure up to most started barkin down the road
To the treasure up the post
You just never f***ing know what you gonna see, where ya gonna be, who you gonna meet
It's true you gonna sleep and slip into silence
Shot guns fired, choppers and sirens
Spotlight shinin, flashin on the glance
At a boy without a chance and the devil in his hands
I'm just sayin though, livin my life the way I'm supposed to
I'm just sayin though, chasin the dreams...
I'm just sayin though same thing that will make you laugh will make you cry
That's the way it go man, why ask why
I'm just sayin though take me away from my frustrations
I'm just sayin though teach me to use my imagination
I'm just sayin though same thing that will make you laugh will make you cry
That's how it go man, why ask why
Chorus
