Lucid (Eternal)

I be there thru it all, win, lose, or draw
 Winter, spring, summer, fall
 If we fly or if we fall
 Until we at the crossroads
 Every road we go across
 Loyalty is everything
 But it's nothing if it's lost
 If I'm tryna get it in and you ain't down
 Or if I'm tryna be a friend and you ain't found
 Don't be callin' my line for no inspiration
 When the goin' get tough, too much hesitation
 Where you been, Where you been
 Where you been mo'fucka
 Where you been
 Long time no see old friend
 Time is money, but it don't feel the same
 When it spends
 Where you been, Where you been
 Where you been my nigga
 Where you been
 Long time no see old friend
 Time is money, but it don't feel the same
 When it spends
 Even though they both means to an end
 We getting ends, to the end
 No you can't take it with you
 Gotta leave it for your kin
 You and try to press the issue
 Go and buy a set of rims
 Shorty go and get hair nails did
 We all wear mask, no pretend
 But its something 'bout
 Being comfortable in your own skin
 Had to promise
 That I would never lose myself again
 And acknowledge that I had some demons
 That's within that was fighting
 But regardless knew the God was gonna win
 In the end, once again
 I survive every fall
 And bounce back standing tall
 I be there thru it all, win, lose, or draw
 Winter, spring, summer, fall
 If you fly or if you fall
 Until we at the crossroads
 Every road we go across
 Loyalty is everything
 But it's nothing if it's lost
 Where you been, Where you been
 Where you been mo'fucka
 Where you been
 Long time no see old friend
 Time is money, but it don't feel the same way
 When it spends
 Where you been, Where you been
 Where you been my nigga
 Where you been
 Long time no see old friend
 Time is money, but it don't feel the same way
 When it spends
 If I'm tryna get it in and you ain't down
 Or if I'm tryna be a friend
 And you ain't found
 Don't be callin' my line for no inspiration
 When the goin' get tough
 Too much hesitation
 Woke up on the wrong side of the bed
 Hit the bottle
 Filled up a clip with hollow heads
 Read the bible
 Vengeance is mine as god said
 But in survival
 It's strictly kill or get deaded on arrival
 Love of the bread
 It turn friends into rival
 They snitch to the feds
 Don't wanna be held liable
 Simply unreliable
 They ain't doing time for you
 Nobody gonna die for you
 The heat is held closest
 Paranoia in large doses
 Can't even eat without looking over the shoulder
 Saying grace with eyes open alert and focus
 Know its no way to live
 But change in this state is hopeless
 Learn through osmosis
 Word to Moses they divide and conquer
 Friends close enemies closer
 Has become the mantra
 Become an entree or a vulture
 They circle the culture
 All that you know is what they taught ya
 You'll be even saltier after they assault ya
 Add insult to injury, police perjury
 Hung by the jury
 It's to the plantation wit ya
 Feel the devils fury
 Shit is just a cycle like reincarnation
 Woke up the the morning
 As the captain of a slave ship
 Questioning my destination
 Look at all these beautiful black faces
 And I know exactly where this map takes us
 And you ain't down
 If I'm tryna be a friend
 And you ain't found
 Don't be callin' my line for no inspiration
 When the goin' get tough
 Too much hesitation
 Where you been, Where you been
 Where you been mo'fucka
 Where you been
 Long time no see Old friend
 Time is money, but it don't feel the same
 When it spends
 Where you been, Where you been
 Where you been my nigga
 Where you been
 Long time no see Old friend
 Time is money, but it don't feel the same
 When it spends
 The truth is always in pain
 Lies are always in vain
 It seems your world is in flames
 So you're always enraged
 Insane, it stays the same
 Nothing ever changes
 Life is an open book
 Burn the pages, still can't erase it
