Sumthin' Wicked This Way Comes

Remember back in the time
 When the only sign we had was pickets
 But now in '94, it be this way, somethin' come wicked
 G-angs killin' others for colors
 Thangs that we wear for fashion
 Other brothers take it for a reason to be blastin'
 What the kcuf is goin' on
 Not soft like buttercups but had enough of singin' that same song
 See, I stayed across the street from the projects
 Took out yo' momma trash and groceries to her trunk
 To keep my pockets fat, like cellulite
 Only been to jail one week for some shull-bit
 And I pray to God I won't repeat
 I shoulda pulled it when I had the chance to
 No, I shouldn't a did that, 'cause if I did that
 Y'all would not hear that phat shit
 That keeps you on your tippy-tippy-toes
 Like that sellout, not callin' no names
 But really, "who's bad"
 I go through obstacles like a whole box of condoms
 You can't forget where you come from
 Take a good look in the mirror
 And tell me, do you like what you see
 Masters of deception, corruption and evil
 But you're always quick to point the finger at me
 Won't somebody tell me
 I just don't understand
 The ways of the world today
 Sometimes I feel like there's nothing to live for
 So I'm longing for the days of yesterday
 What gave you the right to misjudge me
 And write me off on the wall
 Acting as if you understand me
 In reality, you just don't know me at all
 Sometimes I can't help but wonder
 If this was how it's meant to be
 But if you search deep enough in your soul
 You'll always find a slight reminder of me
 Won't somebody tell me
 I just don't understand
 The ways of the world today
 Sometimes I feel like there's nothing to live for
 So I'm longing for the days of yesterday
 A-yo, if we could all agree
 To lettin' our souls become free
 Of that sweet bitterness
 Then who's chest would have the most seeds
 I keep misfocusin' my needs
 And distress on my back with them cats
 They be blastin' into my knapsack
 Ain't no accidental deathtraps
 My mishap is the fact that I'm destined to snap
 It's when I feel as though my body's able to go
 My mind is ready to flow
 Did you know first you catch and then I throw
 It's my own sense of time
 If I'm late, it's 'cause I'm endin' my day
 Just when the sun shines
 And still gently advising the arisin' of the moon
 As it rolls around into my soundproof dimension
 I just don't understand
 The ways of the world today
 Sometimes I feel like there's nothing to live for
 So I'm longing for the days of yesterday
 I just don't understand
 The ways of the world today
 Sometimes I feel like there's nothing to live for
 So I'm longing for the days of yesterday
