lyrics

Left my house keys somewhere on the map, slipped in the back
bags still packed, where everybody at?
Zig-Zags and a big bag of shwag, I got the Popov and it's about to pop off
on the porch, long shorts, loving the sun, got the boombox bumping that bump
got me thinking on them days when we were just running to run
searching for something, and now something's begun
and to you, to the crew, what's new on the view
we connect like two and two, my peoples through and through
I got stories, I got souvenirs, and man yall ain't been through in years
looking at you is just like looking through a mirror
fat hats and slacks, I could never take that back
to the life we chose, the life that chose us
no regrets, no ifs, ands, and no buts.

Yeah yeah make a joyous noise like this, give it up for some real life shit
to the couch kids with sofabed dreams, dirty jeans and still living over their means
and it seems money ain't in our genes, so we steam through throwaway schemes
with a gleam like you don't know what they seen
nothing happened but adaption, good or bad, action, it's gotta happen
and I got something in me and it's gotta get out
so either you're running with me or you gotta step out
sometimes I can sit and smoke and drink and drown it out
but tonight the voice is shouting and I can't turn it down
if I hurt you in the process I'm apologizing now
this ain't shit I talk about out loud

No one to blame, how can I complain
just jumped off the train and home looks the same
eses and runaways at the station, and seen one cat I recognized from graduation
and everywhere I go it's the same conversation
"how you been, how you doing, what's the latest"
"same shit as always, trying to make it"
but this year I'm still here and it appears you're here again
seen my boy behind the counter on some eight bucks an hour
forty of every week for a small pile of powder
seen my other dog, still on that heron, mad holes in his arms, smiling like nothing's wrong
at the pad, staring at high ceilings and pipe dreaming
trying to find reasons why we're in these tight squeezes
some blame it on friends, some blame it on no ends
and some stand up on their feet and start hustling for theirs
named all the streets eyes closed on my ride home
same spots I stayed posted at since eighth grade
different kids, same lost look on they face (disappear)
and all them girls who you knew would have kids had kids
and everybody who you thought would do a bid did
and everything I say or do is like deja vu
man I've done it all before, everything at this stage, I've run it through the floor
then I think about that kid who got killed in number four
I think about Daoud and how his own pops popped him
or Rafi, ending his problems with a shotgun
so nowadays when somebody asks me how's things
I say more of the same, man, can't complain
to the life we chose, the life that chose us
it's all good man, knock on wood.
