I used to dream every night Now I never dream at all I'm hoping that it's 'cuz I'm living everything I want I used to wake up in a bed between my mom and now I'm playing with this land before time toy from pizza hut My dad works nights Puttin' on a stone face He's saving up so we can get our own place In the projects man that sound fancy to me They call me fat nose my mom say you handsome to me Mrs. Glover ma'am your son is so advanced but he's acting up in class And keeps peeing in his pants And I just wanna fit in But nobody was helping me out They talkin' hood shit and I ain't know what that was about Cuz hood shit and black shit is super different So I'm talking hood shit and cool it now like new edition Mom and dad wouldn't listen They left the Bronx so I wouldn't be that All their friends in NY deal crack It's weird, you think that they'd be proud of 'em But when you leave the hood they think that you look down on 'em The truth is we still struggle on different planes 7 dollars an hour with vouchers It's all the same Facebook messaging hoping that can patch up shit But all they get now is "can your son read this script?" There's a world we can visit if we go outside, outside, outside We can follow the rule There's a world we can visit if we go outside outside outside Nooooo one Knowwws There's a world we can visit if we go outside outside outside We can follow the rule There's a world there's a world if we go outside outside outside Nooooo one Knowwws Dad lost his job Mama work at Mrs. Winters Gun pulled in her face she still made dinner Donald watch the meter So they don't turn the lights off working 2 jobs so I can get into that white school And I hate it there They all make fun of my clothes and wanna touch my hair And my uncle on that stuff got my grandma shook Drug dealers roughed him up and stole his address book He supposed to pay them back He owe them money but his bank account is zero So my mama made us sleep with ... heads under the pillow Like that would do something But she got 6 kids she gotta do something She don't want me in a lifestyle like my cousin And he mad cuz his father ain't around He looking at me now like "why you so fucking lucky" I had a father too but he ain't around So Imma take it out on you We used to say I love you Now we only think that shit It feels weird that your the person I took sink baths with I want my cousin back The worlds saying what you are because you're young and black Don't believe 'em you're still that kid who kept the older boys from teasing For some reason There's a world we can visit if we go outside, outside, outside We can follow the rule There's a world we can visit if we go outside outside outside Nooooo one Knowwws There's a world we can visit if we go outside outside outside We can follow the rule There's a world there's a world if we go outside outside outside Nooooo one Knowwws ahhhh can you hear me now ahhhhh can you hear me now ahh haaaa oh how much more ahhhh oh its crazy crazy crazy |
