about

a.k.a. "2012"

lyrics

Walking around town - your town is my town
I know your streets better than you, I'll put money down
came to your city just to meet you
name your time, when you free? I'ma breeze through
cats like, you ain't got nowhere to be dude? nah, to be true
the crib got left, the silence was driving me deaf
besides I feel more at home in the ride
it's like you're sitting still but you're still moving, keeps me pacified
but folks broke my stride, got me waiting on naythin
I hate a flaker and it ain't about the paper, I can pay for that
yeah I need money but I could use the company
I take it back, I'm getting comfy alone, it's where I'm at
I walk one way, stop, walk another, stop
just standing on a block, two steps as far as I got
nowhere I wanna be, nobody I wanna see
waiting for somebody and I think that someone is me

Waiting for a sign, taking my time
drink the vodka with the lime, time outta mind
you think I'm a beast? wait till you see me sober
I can't sleep, I can't eat, scheme till I keel over
resigned to the grind, I'm tryna go with the flow
and it's a fine line I'm tryin to toe, all I know is go
sitting in the park's like sitting in the dark, can't see the trees or feel the breeze
my eyes closed's what I'm told by everybody I roll with, no shit
chasing some tail, I'm chasing my tail, the same old shit
just waiting for it to stick, waiting for things to click
I know I'm just supposed to enjoy it, it still ain't hit
one day this world will put me to use
till then I walk holes in my shoes and just try not to lose
funny how a world of options shrinks to just two
stay chasing after everything or wait for you

I stick my head in bars two seconds, just checking for any pretty face
testing my luck, don't want a drink
I sip a 7-up, we chat, imagining what could happen
both knowing how these things tend to end up
but maybe she's the one, I'm thinking, each time she speaks
the missing jigsaw piece to make shit all peace
wanted her so bad it's funny now, being me now
the fantasies of a little child gettin me riled
then I said gimme success and I'll give up the rest
can't be greedy with dreams, a man gets one at best
but I know cats who made it and were left unimpressed
meantime some pressing issues had to get jumped, express, to the front of the line
so peace to family and friends, I'm fine, I'll handle it. me myself and I
