(Hook)
Wish I could change things now
How it use to be/
Tore us down
And we foolishly/
Stayed and drowned/
Just let loose of me!/
(Verse 1)
I kick hot verses for a higher purpose/ a real nigga versus, serpentine like hurst’s, photos in purses/ of grieving mothers, they first born lost to the streets/ like my old lady, lost me to a beat/ I repeat, we play for keeps/ but when you bet your life, there ain't no winning/ when losing is the only way of life/ there ain't no quitting while your ahead, sleepless laying in bed/ thinking of what it could've been like instead/ if we da came up draped up surrounded by the richest/ instead of lamed up, In the kitchen/ bitching, Hungry, starring at dirty dishes/ roaches on the tables, counters and sinks, and we're wish-less/ wishing we'd win on birthdays as christmas/ a better life, new sneakers on your wish list/ and acceptance, that's why the streets appeal to ya/ till your laid out, now, is that to Real for ya?/
(Hook)
Wish I could change things now
How it use to be/
Tore us down
And we foolishly/
Stayed and drowned/
Just let loose of me!/
(Verse 2)
They say be careful what you wish for, you just might get it/ be careful when your piss poor, you just might sweat it/ it might just take you to that place if you let it/ to the point of no return, then your trapped and regret it/ forgotten! Or laid to rest, Temporarily embedded/ in fading memories, Till your image manifests itself/ i seem to stress myself, thinking of what of I could've done/ to prevent this shit going down the drains, and some/ go on, not looking back, I stay on that/ beating myself up over spilled water! I'm trying to be a better father/ a better husband all together, a role model for my little brother through this weather/ I use the rain to cleanse my pain, and slowly drain the strain/ on my brain, to remain the same and not let this shit change me/ or rearrange me, display me to the masses/ in my reflection, a strange me/ a drained me! A man falling in pieces/ never fold, but in these creases/ I see what you would stand for, what some would kill a man for/ what some would plan for... And let history write demands for/ witnessed a man stand tall, not knowing he's meant to bleed/ Shot down InFront of his seeds, for what he believes in/ so what's the reason, when life is to short to stay dwelling on the bullshit/
(Hook)
Wish I could change things now
How it use to be/
Tore us down
And we foolishly/
Stayed and drowned/
Just let loose of me!/
