[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 go now can you stay for me?

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 bottle from his pocket and said youngin' ima give it a try

I said hold up pops, I ain't forget about the nana 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 dust you son

And I trust you mom

But the ? lust for fun, wanna bust my gun

Wasn't much to some, then you measured up to most started walking 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 sleepin, slip into silence

Shot guns fired, choppers and sirens

Spotlight shinin, flashin on the glance

At a boy without a chance and the Devil on his ass



I be sayin though, livin my life... wishin' and hopin

I be sayin though, chasin the dreams...

I be sayin though same thing that
