[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, my boy, 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 (what'd he say?)   Said I've been in the world for 88 long years and go now can you stay for me? (& what u do?)   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 (then what happen?)   And with that he pulled a bottle from his pocket and said youngin' ima give it a try (give it a try boy)   I said hold up pops, I ain't forget about the knowledge that 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 dozen ain't my 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 coast   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 firein', 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 will make you laugh will make you cry   That's how we know man, why ask why      I be sayin though taken away from the frustration   I be sayin though teach me to use my imagination   I be sayin though same thing that will make you laugh will make you cry   That's how we know man, why ask why      [chorus]
