Crash!

[Verse] I was stuck, no I couldn't move up Give a fuck, I'm a nice guy, heart bruised up Light skin youth same complexion bruiser My life grew, that's right I grew up Try truth, don't try amuse us What would I be if I ain't have music? Just let it be, can't entertain the bruises I gotta heal 'cause I was squealin' too much Poppa feel too real, true love I'm up front, the back line move up Catch me offsides, sometimes you gotta choose up On the street light stepping through the mud Couldn't settle, it was never what it was Time lost for the pain on my cousin Shine on me, lens get focused Snap shots of the block I would grow on Front lawn grass hopping like a locust 12th street til the day that I croak Malamutes pull, got the reins in my palms When it rain put my faith in Ifá Taking it far, got the face of a god No face gon' alarm me Bitter taste don't alarm me Used to it on the farm scene Back then I was in them Phat Farm jeans Baby Phat we was speaking over sun cheeks Rose red, light skin but the truth speaks My heart gon' sing whenever it get the chance Try love measuring better things within grasps In the back of the cab we crash In the back, we crash [Outro: Dick Cavett & James Earl Jones] This was several years ago and I said at this point No one knows wether to say black or negro or colored man And people are always pausing and hesitating and In your deep voice you said why don't you try nigga And I as I say it now I get goose pimples do you remember this moment? It's jigaboo now Ohh nooo now now we’re all in trouble but I don't know remember that moment You used though your deepest resonance and went right to the soles of my shoes How you been? Quiet
