The Narrow Path

Tryna' tell my folks that flowin' ain't easy
 Travellin' down this yellow brick road until it frees me
 I need a pen, I need a pad, I need a place to go
 To get this shit lifted offa my soul
 'Picture me sittin in front of 88 keys, trying to escape
 From a shady place, where babies blaze trees on a daily day
 Tryna get they gravy straight to floss, cuz told me homey watch it
 These ladies play dirty games with you, get to grindin
 Where niggas pitch as quick as Nolan Ryan
 Holdin iron, blowin smoke, elope in fire, flame spittin
 The game is just a way to escape
 And our pain is just a way we can relate to folks cryin
 Findin ways I can make a difference
 But fuck wishin on a star cuz the percentage of gettin what you envisioned is small
 And the stars barely shine in the city, so we're blinded
 By the manmade bright lights, makin my eyes shifty
 Feel me out, hear me now, cryin childs of the ghetto
 Lettin go a beautiful sound, it's kinda falsetto
 Hello hell, welcome to L.A., where devils that dwell play
 They meddle with metal and lettin every shell spray
 Until day dawns, I make songs for the long road travelers
 And lost souls after us
 Spittin lyrics vicious like I'm mad as fuck
 Packin up my bags, hoppin back on the narrow path that's planned for us'
 Tryna' tell my folks that flowin' ain't easy
 Travellin' down this yellow brick road until it frees me
 I need a pen, I need a pad, I need a place to go
 To get this shit lifted offa my soul
 In this world that I'm livin' in
 I've given into sex, stress, and dividends
 Los Angeles, metropolis, city of vexed citizens
 Folks that smoke infinite dope for hope living in
 Poverty is probably the less stress position to go
 So we don't have positions to hold
 So we pitch snow and live in the cold In hell
 in hell felling heaven is close
 but like road kill im still on this road
 bold as any soilder playing his role
 I stroll the steets in the cold
 Even in the summer heat it gets cold
 So we stroll with the heat and its cold
 It's beeen a long troublesome road and im still travelin
 Fuck battling, just managing life is challenging
 Though I managed to make it
 I damaged the place up in my mind
 Like the times of los angles greatest
 Wasting time and lifespans fucking around
 Im spitting deep shit stuck in the ground
 So just dig it, or don't fuck with it
 Cause you can't fuck with it
 Tryna' tell my folks that flowin' ain't easy
 Travellin' down this yellow brick road until it frees me
 I need a pen, I need a pad, I need a place to go
 To get this shit lifted offa my soul
 Check it,
 And I'll be, playin escapism by pete rock
 Hot, watchin police plot knocks to get my peeps locked.
 Smilin as my teeth rot,
 from eatin sugar coated quotes, smokin dope to float away
 But hey, the air is nice up there
 I swear the feelin's good as chillin with a nice cold beer
 We fallen angels rockin halo's like its priced up gear
 And if you need me, just ring me, shit ill be right up here
 Where fear is non-existent
 Instead of driftin' in a prison, where my minds restricted
 Where my mind is wishin' while tryin to get a broken promise mended
 Im trainin to be a seamstress, sewin holes that dreams fit (?)
 fiends bling, broken clocks, tryna get their dreams fixed (?)
 Tickin itchin, tockin' watchin, god is watching you
 but you rather have a watch with lots of diamonds Ive been fooled
 By the word a few times, who cares is Blu rhymes
 About ho's or savin souls, they wanna hear that beat ride
 I rewind and try to play back the days that they would play stacks
 And 8-tracks to recline, now we blaze sacks
 Takin' back the feelin' hidden in me when we used to smile, remember that?
 It's been a while, so im blowin off the dust
 Brushin dirt up off my nutts, got this feelin' in my gut
 Im tryna let it out so if you with me then listen up... Listen.
 Listen up cause uh, i got this feelin' in my gut
 What the. fuck
 Tryna' tell my folks that flowin' ain't easy
 Travellin' down this yellow brick road until it frees me
 I need a pen, I need a pad, I need a place to go
 To get this shit lifted offa my soul
