Yo, we obviously need to tone it down a bitRunning round town spending time like it’s counterfeitEverybody catching hay fever like sinusesStep in my arena let me show y’all who the highness isYou might say I could be doing something positiveHumble head down low and broke like promisesSoaking and broken in a joke like comics isNot enough paper to be paying folks complimentsBut when that paper got low so did my toleranceAnd it ain’t no truth in a dare without the consequenceListen if it not for these hood inventionsI'd just be another kid from the block with no intentionsOn the dock of that bay serving a life sentenceEven if I’m going to hell I’m gonna make an entranceYeah let em know I’m getting cheese like omeletes isBut I’m the toast of the town like Thomas is[Hook]We’re all on a journeyDown the hall of memories[Refrão]Don’t worry bout what you ain’t gotLeave with a little bit of dignityNever loved what I hadAlways felt like I deserved moreBut when I make it to the other side (make it to the other side)That’s when we’ll settle up the score[Verse 2]Yo, we did this in remembrance ofFaces from the past we no longer have an image ofCarrying coldblooded hearts that never been for loveBrothers keep going for theirs but never get enoughWorld travelers that seen it all and did enoughOnly to return to learn the world wasn’t big enoughDamn, how long has it been? I guess the jig is upNow all I know is I’m about to wake this n**** upYeah that hindsight, 20/20, now n****s dead on the moneyTrying to take something from me it’s a wrap like a mummyUndun I am becoming and when he’s tired of runningThrough the layers of the onionHe’ll probably shed a tear cause they’ll be no more fast timesJust his weak mind scrolled out like a bad signHe never had enough and got confused when they asked whyLife is only a moment in time and it passed by[Hook]We’re all on a journeyDown the hall of memories[Refrão] (repetir)[Verse 3]I’m sitting on top of the world ready to jump offThinking of various ways to break a gun lawThinking that enough is enough but still I want moreThinking of how I’m playing with fire that burned my young boyBy any means necessary, don’t give a damnSo every night I’m on a flight that never landsBe an asshole when the shit hits the fanOr bet your life on a bluff and a bad handCan’t win, can’t lose Get 'em gassedleave em leaking fuel either way the market movesCash rules kings, queens, prince and princessEvery night I’m crossing a line that ain’t the finishEvery thought is dark as a glass of fucking GuinnessToo far gone to come back to my sensesNow I’m on the edge of my bed making love to my medsEvery moment's like a pistol to my head when I’m getting mine[Hook]We’re all on a journeyDown the hall of memories[Refrão] (repetir)
