Sumthin' wicked this way comes

Remember back in da time
When the only sign we had was picket
But now in ´94 it be
This way somethin´ comes wicked
Gangs killin´ other for colors
Thangs that we wear for fashion
Other brothers take it for a reason
To be blastin´ what da kcuf is goin´ on
Not soft like buttercups
But had enough of singin´ that same song
See I stayed across da streets from da projects
Took out yo mama trash and groceries
To her trunk to keep my pockets
Fat like cellulite only been to jail one week
For some shullbit and I pray to God I won´t repeat
I shoulda pulled it when I had da chance to
No I shouldna did dat ´cause if I did dat
Yall would not hear dat fat shit
Dat keeps you on yo tippy -
Toes like dat 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 somebdy tell me
[Chorus]
I just don´t understand
The ways of the world today
Sometimes I feel like
There 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
[Chorus]
A-yo
If we could all agree to lettin´
Our souls become free
Of that sweet bitterness
Then whose chest would have the most seeds
I keep misfocusin´ my needs
And this stress on my back
Wit them caps they be blastin´
Into my knap sack
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 reay 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 ending my day
Just when the sun shines
And still gently advisin´ the arisin´
Of the moon as it rolls around
Into my soundproof dimension
[Chorus]
When the only sign we had was picket
But now in ´94 it be
This way somethin´ comes wicked
Gangs killin´ other for colors
Thangs that we wear for fashion
Other brothers take it for a reason
To be blastin´ what da kcuf is goin´ on
Not soft like buttercups
But had enough of singin´ that same song
See I stayed across da streets from da projects
