Lyrics
When I was a boy growing up in Kentucky
All I wanted be was fresh like Doug E
Crease in my Levis, dope ass rugbys
Fresh pair of Filas woulda been lovely
Nah I had some Buddies and they was ugly
Pair of Chuck Taylors if I was lucky
I've seen the good, the bad, the ugly
So Gotta testify before y'all judge me
Cuz ain't no drug-free zones in my hood
All the liquor stores round here can't be good
System ain't workin' as well as it should
Jobless rate high in my neck of the woods
See every opportunity I'm tryin' to give back
Open up some doors for my dawgs that still trap
Throw 'em all they own set of keys
And won't stop 'till we all get free!
Tomorrow Never Knows
Yesterday's the Past
We're only flesh and bone
But our words will last
I been to the mountain top, seen the promise land
Make ya boy wanna be an honest man
Make you wanna put a ring on baby mama hand
And toss out all your contraband
But what the hell's wrong with marijuana, man?
Helps me deal with all the drama. Damn
Make me write a letter to my congressman
Tell 'em "no more war! No Muslim ban!"
They more concerned with political beef
Smugglin' oil out the Middle East
Could care less if your kid got little to eat
Or the fact that kids gettin' killed in the street
Gotta keep our children safer
Build schools now or it's prisons later
So never mind these administrators
The price shouldn't matter. Just print more paper!
Tomorrow Never Knows
Yesterday's the Past
We're only flesh and bone
But our words will last
Mainstream's too shallow, went underground
Too damn hardheaded to dumb it down
Feel like my people want somethin' mo' profound
Even though money makes the world go round
Everything ain't for sale. Your soul is priceless
Don't get me wrong, man. I'm far from righteous
Done my share of dirt, got plenty of vices
Life is about sacrifices!
Tomorrow Never Knows
Yesterday's the Past
We're only flesh and bone
But our words will last
Tomorrow Never Knows
Yesterday's the Past
We're only flesh and bone
But our words will last
