Sumthin Wicked This Way Comes

[Dre] Remember back in the time When the only sign we had was pickets? But now in `94, it be this way, somethin` come wicked Gangs killin` others fo` colors Thangs that we wear fo` fashion Other brothers take it fo` what 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 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 fo` 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, cuz if I did that? Y`all would not hear that phat shit That keeps you on yo` tippy-toes Like that fella, not callin` no names But really, "who`s bad?" I go through obstacles like a whole box of condoms You can`t forget what you come from [T-Boz] 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 1 - 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 [T-Boz] 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 [Chilli] 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 Repeat 1 [Left Eye] 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, didn`t you know? First you catch and then I throw It`s my own sense of time If I`m late, it`s `cuz 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 Repeat 1
