Saigon - Down This Road lyrics

rate me

I've been down this road befooooore

I'm still, I'm still who you're lookin for, ohhh

I been lookin for a place to hiiiiide

I feel, I feel your eyes

See right through my liiiiiiii-iiiiiiife

Ahhh-ahhhhhhhh...

My life

Uh-huh

These young artists is strivin, they say it's hard survivin

They only authorizin them rappers that's harmonizin

Tell them to not to worry, music is just modernizin

I beg to differ cause if you look upon the horizon

You see a star is risin and go by the handle Brian

He like a man of iron compared to these dandelions

And what comeback? The underground I been run that

It just suck, I'm so stuck to the street like a run flat

Yo it only take one track to get you back on my nutsack

I'm feelin like "Where the f-ck is the love at?"

I might as well make it rain, sleet, snow, hail in this dry spell

I might as well come out of my shell, hell

Cause hip-hop ain't been the same since I left it

And tryin to be positive I guess was the wrong method

Cause you could bring a dick to the pussy but you can't make him F it

Now look what I'm left with - this

We got a black prez, still a lot of crackheads

My grandmother still can't afford her back meds

KRS already taught us 'bout them black feds

They don't wanna see us live, do we act dead?

Then they wonder why n-ggaz rockin that red

It's the only sensible lifestyle, the day of a lead

Try and put it in his head

The more Bloods that's on the block the more blood that's gon' she'd

Ch-check what he said

He said out here dodgin the mortuary is not outta the ordinary

Our people is so poor that it's scary

Cause when we in a war we ain't worried

Like a young G in the street is how I wanna be buried

Look shorty, you put it wrong, here go a thinkin cap

Now put it on, with that mentality you're as good as gone

Lyin there with the bystanders lookin on

I ain't tryin to cook it calm, I'm tryin to put you on

I've been down this road befooooore

I'm still, I'm still who you're lookin for, ohhh

I been lookin for a place to hiiiiide

I feel, I feel your eyes

See right through my life
