[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, ? 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
  Said I've been in the world for 88 long years and go now can you stay for me?
  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
  And with that he pulled a bottle from his pocket and said youngin' ima give it a try
  I said hold up pops, I ain't forget about the nana 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 ? 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 post
  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 fired, 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 that's 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 that's why
  
  [Chorus]
