I came from a place i forgot

I woke up in a parking lot

Far from a meal & a cot

On the corner

Where all the streets got the same name

Maybe my brains on the brink of insane

Pain between the paperswhile sleepin on the train

This the land of milk and honey

Know what i'm sayin

The invisible man times three

Black, down & out

Out standing on a corner no doubt

Now a nation of homeless

Sleepin in bus stations

Another win for the pilgrims

Who said no more haitians

As i proceed

Someone to feed me is what i need

Through three blocks of dealers

Tryin to hit me off wit weed

Avenue & boulevard hungry as a m-fucka

Hope to get a ride from a trucker

Everybody know i ain't no sucker

Everyone used to drop 30 at the rucker

Away from crazy kids in generation wrekked

Dissin pyramids while praisin projects

Walk past old folks gettin no respect

Callin young folks a bunch a no good rejects

And i walk on



An eye for an eye

I can't recognize the man in the mirror

Is it i, it is i now who this cat i'm lookin at

Cause i've been waiting so long to get where i'm goin

An for an eye in this country tis of thee

Now how the hell can i be free

Who this cat i'm lookin at

Cause i been lost so long without anybody knowin



So i move on and i walk on

Past the preachers and the pimps gettin their talk on

Now why do home gotta be where the negative roam

To be or not to be - so i roll alone

I'm trapped within this skin & these bones

Temporary kings on cellular phones

Can i last as i walk past

Cigarette billboards & malt liquor ads

Walkin on broken bottles & potato chip bags

Everyone i see got the nerve to brag

Where they from what they got

And don't own squat

Disrespect where they from and ya might get shot

Zombies askin me what the latest bomb be

Should shot the fuckin sheriff & the fuckin deputy

For ok in the drug trade and lettin it be

But i know prison for me is an industry

So i walk

I heard the best things in life be free

Didn't god make the land the air we breathe

Not for the homeless don't give a damn about me

In the mirror somebody else is starin at me

Maybe prison is the skin i'm within

All this time i been sufferin can't fix it wit a bufferin

Plus they said i'll never work in this town again

Damn so i keep on walkin



An eye for an eye

I can't recognize the man in the mirror

Is it i, it is i now who this cat i'm lookin at

Cause i've been waiting so long to get where i'm goin

An for an eye in this country tis of thee

Now how the hell can i be free

Who this cat i'm lookin at

Cause i been lost so long without anybody knowin



Lil day day is big day and just did time

Seen him standin on the unemployment line

Which collided wit the line of the health clinic

I seen crazy stacy her ass standin up in it

No more welfare cut her medicaid

Damn my mama used to do her braids

I keep walkin so they don't see me

But i doubt if they doin any better than me

So i walk on never take the planet for granted

I paved the concrete, asphalt & granite

I walk past 3 brothers sittin on the porch

Wit a yard of dirt and littered wit newports

Talkin how they comin up while they sittin on their ass

As i walk past em i'm a target of their laughs

And one said lets get em for his fuckin stash

As i walked fast past the other yards wit grass

Had a lil cash tried to make it last

From a few deals i made from cleanin windshields

I ran like a rally they caught me in an alley

Can't get out the ghetto from new york to cali

I thought i had nuthin till i felt the knife

And now i ain't even got a life
