| [00:30.85] |
My first memory, my birthday on a party bus |
| [00:34.91] |
Pops wasn't there but that wasn't obvious |
| [00:37.49] |
In Mom's arms, in God we trust |
| [00:40.02] |
Black Mama love, everything marvelous |
| [00:42.40] |
I didn't know what I was missin', part of a system |
| [00:45.75] |
Pops is gone, Uncle in prison |
| [00:48.33] |
Inside wishin' for men to teach me 'bout girls and religion |
| [00:52.11] |
Made my own rendition of grindin' and kissin' |
| [00:54.63] |
Weekend calls to my Dad I'd listen |
| [00:57.26] |
Still I felt distant, distant like love |
| [00:59.78] |
There's only so far that words could really hug |
| [01:02.34] |
Didn't wanna be a thug, older niggas I banged with |
| [01:04.92] |
I learned a lot from them cuts in the basement |
| [01:07.61] |
The smell of blunts laced with a little bit of spice |
| [01:10.35] |
Wise, high niggas, giving me advice |
| [01:13.09] |
We go out and start fights, scuff up our Nikes |
| [01:15.77] |
Come back to talk crap and shoot a little dice |
| [01:18.18] |
This is a slice of life and memories |
| [01:20.81] |
Sittin' in my mind vividly, often they visit me |
| [01:23.62] |
Oh baby, Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da (Oh, oh) |
| [01:27.76] |
I'm just tryna find a way to understand (I'm tryna understand) |
| [01:33.67] |
Oh, oh, oh, oh |
| [01:38.08] |
How do I rewind the tape and live in it? |
| [01:42.81] |
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh-oh, oh-oh) |
| [01:47.45] |
Stayin' out late and playin' in Wonderland (Ooh-ooh, oh-oh-oh) |
| [01:55.61] |
Is it in God's plan? |
| [01:58.76] |
I'm just tryna find my way to understand it |
| [02:03.68] |
Metaphors can't explain how far I came |
| [02:06.44] |
A young man at work, I made my own lane |
| [02:09.09] |
Steered away from pain, relied on drive |
| [02:11.69] |
There's a old saying, "Don't cry, survive" |
| [02:14.20] |
As I kept building there were cranes in the sky |
| [02:16.74] |
Certain memories my brain would deny |
| [02:19.18] |
A tear laid in my eye, I was afraid to reply |
| [02:21.83] |
To the hurt that was callin', it came from the sky |
| [02:24.34] |
An older play cousin, of course I trust him |
| [02:27.01] |
But he was touchin' where he wasn't supposed to be touchin' |
| [02:29.47] |
What's a kid supposed to do? |
| [02:30.71] |
When they goin' through, what I was goin' through |
| [02:33.27] |
Don't know who to go to |
| [02:34.48] |
You want to tell somebody |
| [02:35.93] |
In many ways, I failed somebody |
| [02:38.53] |
That somebody was me |
| [02:39.88] |
Now I'm talking to little Rasheed |
| [02:42.07] |
Incarcerated heart, man, you gotta be free |
| [02:44.75] |
I felt it, when I told my man I would help with |
| [02:47.59] |
Things he was dealin' with I really hadn't dealt with |
| [02:50.04] |
Emotions meltin', I began to release it |
| [02:52.49] |
Things you can't change, you could come to peace with |
| [02:55.16] |
At least get it better for the children of forever |
| [02:57.53] |
I read the Lord's letter, I forgive our debtors |
| [03:00.13] |
They don't talk about it, maybe sharing their story |
| [03:02.64] |
Memories of home, shared pain and glory |
| [03:05.27] |
Oh baby, Da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da, da-da-da (Oh, oh) |
| [03:10.03] |
I'm just tryna find a way to understand (I'm tryna understand) |
| [03:15.61] |
Oh, oh, oh, oh |
| [03:19.51] |
How do I rewind the tape and live in it? |
| [03:24.41] |
(Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh-oh, oh-oh) |
| [03:29.55] |
Stayin' out late and playin' in Wonderland (Ooh-ooh, oh-oh-oh) |
| [03:37.55] |
Is it God's plan? |
| [03:40.66] |
I'm just tryna find my way to understand it |
| [03:48.15] |
Said I'm tryna understand, understand, understand, understand |
| [03:57.89] |
Ayy-hey, oh-oh, oh |
