Sumthin' Wicked This Way Comes

Remember back in the time

When the only sign we had was pickets

But now in '94 it be this way somethin' come wicked

G-angs killin' others for colors

Things that we wear for fashion

Other brothers take it for a reason to be blastin'

What the cuff is going on?

Not soft like buttercups

But had enough of singin' that same song

See, I stayed across the street from the projects

Took out your momma trash and groceries to her trunk

To keep my pockets fat, like cellulite

Only been to jail one week for some shull-bit

And I pray to God I won't repeat

I shoulda pulled it when I had the chance to

No, I shouldn't, uhn-uhn, did that, 'cause if I did that

Y'all would not hear that phat shit

That keeps you on your tippy, tippy, toes

Like that sellout, not callin' no names

But really, who's bad?

I go through obstacles like a whole box of condoms

You can't forget where you come from

Take a good look in the mirror

And tell me, do you like what you see?

Masters of deception, corruption and evil

But you're always quick to point the finger at me

Will somebody tell me?

I just don't understand

The ways of the world today

Sometimes I feel like there's nothing to live for

So I'm longing for the days of yesterday

What gave you the right to misjudge me

And write me off on the wall?

Actin' as if you understand me

In reality you just don't know me at all

Sometimes I can't help but wonder

If this was how it's meant to be

But if you search deep enough in your soul

You'll always find a slight reminder of me

Won't somebody tell me?

I just don't understand

The ways of the world today

Sometimes I feel like there's nothing to live for

So I'm longing for the days of yesterday

If we could all agree

To lettin' our souls become free

Of that sweet bitterness

Then who's chest would have the most seats?

I keep mis-focusing my needs

And this stress on my back

With them gats they be blastin' into my knapsack

Ain't no accidental death traps

My mishap is the fact that I'm destined to snap

It's when I feel as though

My body's able to go

My mind is ready to flow

Did ya know, first you catch and then I throw?

It's my own sense of time

If I'm late, it's 'cause I'm ending my day

Just when the sun shines

And still gently advising the arisin' of the moon

As it rolls around into my soundproof dimension

I just don't understand

The ways of the world today

Sometimes I feel like there's nothing to live for

So, I'm longing for the days of yesterday

I just don't understand

The ways of the world today

Sometimes I feel like there's nothing to live for

So I'm longing for the days of yesterday
