The Roots - Never lyrics

rate me

ft. Patty Crash

Street dreams, close your eyes

Say goodbye to my memory

Street dreams, this is the moment

The moment that feels like forever

This is the end to where I began

And it feels like forever

They say time flies

Down from the sky and says never

I look down, all I see is never

And all I know is all I know

I was born faceless in an oasis

Folks disappear here and leave no traces

No family ties, nigga, no laces

Less than a full deck, nigga, no aces

Waiting on Superman, losing all patience

Getting wasted on an everyday basis

I'm stuck here, can't take a vacation

So fuck it, this shit is damnation

This is reality mane

Ain't no surprise I've been banging without any, mane

What is this gotta be brave

When into the night I'm going to go quietly, mane

Life is a bitch and then you live

Until one day by death you're found

I tried to keep both of my feet on the ground

But I know my head is surrounded by clouds

Spiraling down, destined to drown

Forever is just a collection of nows

Off on my own, nowhere is my home

Approaching infinity's fork in the road

When I was young something I often was told

It's not a bargain if it costs you your soul

Costs you your pride, caution aside

I'm gone with the wind and along for the ride

Wish I could rest and open my eyes

But time ain't finna fly down from the sky

A place where the lonely love

Not another soul's there, only us

Street dreams, close your eyes

Say goodbye to my memory

Street dreams, this is the moment

The moment that feels like forever

This is the end to where I began

And it feels like forever

They say time flies

Down from the sky and says never

I look down, all I see is never

And all I know is all I know

I woke with a tear drop

All I know is what I know

I woke with a tear drop

All I know is what I know

It's all I know

All I know
