[Intro/Chorus] I've been down this road befooooore I'm still, I'm still who you're lookin for, ohhh I been lookin for a place to hiiiiide I feel, I feel your eyes See right through my liiiiiiii-iiiiiiife Ahhh-ahhhhhhhh... My life
Uh-huh These young artists is strivin, they say it's hard survivin They only authorizin them rappers that's harmonizin Tell them to not to worry, music is just modernizin I beg to differ cause if you look upon the horizon You see a star is risin and go by the handle Brian He like a man of iron compared to these dandelions And what comeback? The underground I been run that It just suck, I'm so stuck to the street like a run flat Yo it only take one track to get you back on my nutsack I'm feelin like "Where the fuck is the love at?" I might as well make it rain, sleet, snow, hail in this dry spell I might as well come out of my shell, hell Cause hip-hop ain't been the same since I left it And tryin to be positive I guess was the wrong method Cause you could bring a dick to the pussy but you can't make him F it Now look what I'm left with - this
[Chorus]
We got a black prez, still a lot of crackheads My grandmother still can't afford her back meds KRS already taught us 'bout them black feds They don't wanna see us live, do we act dead? Then they wonder why niggaz rockin that red It's the only sensible lifestyle, the day of a lead [?] Try and put it in his head The more Bloods that's on the block the more blood that's gon' shed Ch-check what he said He said out here dodgin the mortuary is not outta the ordinary Our people is so poor that it's scary Cause when we in a war we ain't worried Like a young G in the street is how I wanna be buried Look shorty, you put it wrong, here go a thinkin cap Now put it on, with that mentality you're as good as gone Lyin there with the bystanders lookin on I ain't tryin to cook it calm, I'm tryin to put you on
[Chorus/Outro] I've been down this road befooooore I'm still, I'm still who you're lookin for, ohhh I been lookin for a place to hiiiiide I feel, I feel your eyes See right through my life
