by T.J.
Sitting back reminiscing on how I used to get down with the crew
After all we been through, everything seems new, every day I wish that I knew
I can see my bro with a blunt and a brew
Reminiscing on all the good days I had,now the world changed, went from the good to bad
And nowadays things change, everyone’s ashamed of the youth cause the truth looks
strange
Nowadays the youth express themselves as young thugs, give the drugs to the kids
Who the hell cares, one less hungry mouth on the welfare
I bend down on my knees n say Lord’s Prayer, hoping one day my people leave this living nightmare
It ain’t about color of the skin, I hope one day we see the light before it’s ruined
Those who wish to follow me (reminiscing)
I welcome with my hands and the red sun sinks at last
Into the hills of gold
And peace to this young warrior
Without the sounds of guns
Wake up every morning and I ask myself, is life worth living should I blast myself
Look over there, there’s a lonely lady, crack got her crazy
Look towards the corner, the ladies outside at night lately
Guess who’s giving birth to a baby
I make mistakes but learn from every one and it’s said and done
Give’em all drugs and let’em deal to brothers
Give’em all guns, step back, watch’em kill each other
We gotta start making changes
Learn to see us as a family instead of distant strangers
And that’s how it’s supposed to be, how could someone take a life close to me
And I see no changes, all I see is racist people
Why can’t we all just live peaceful instead of taking something illegal
Police don’t care if were suffering, stopping us cause were hustling
They got war on drugs so police can bother me
But mama didn’t raise no fool, if we can’t change, guess that’s the way it is
Those who wish to follow me (reminiscing)
I welcome with my hands and the red sun sinks at last
Into the hills of gold
And peace to this young warrior
Without the sounds of guns
We gotta make a change
It’s time for us as people to start making some changes
Let’s change the way live and let’s change the way we treat each other
Back in the day it wasn’t working so it’s on us to do what we gotta do to survive
