[Verse 1: Black Thought]
[00:14.16]Yo, we obviously need to tone it down a bit
[00:17.41]Running round town spending time like it’s counterfeit
[00:20.29]Everybody catching hay fever like sinuses
[00:23.15]Step in my arena let me show y’all who the highness is
[00:26.66]You might say I could be doing something positive
[00:29.09]Humbled head down low and broke like promises
[00:32.28]Soaking and broken in a joke like comics is
[00:34.89]Not enough paper to be paying folks compliments
[00:37.83]But when that paper got low so did my tolerance
[00:40.76]And it ain’t no truth in a dare without the consequence
[00:43.88]Listen if it not for these hood inventions
[00:46.39]Id just be another kid from the block with no intentions
[00:49.51]On the dock of that bay serving a life sentence
[00:52.55]Even if I’m going to hell I’m gonna make an entrance
[00:55.37]Yeah let em know I’m getting cheese like omelets is
[00:58.36]But I’m the toast of the town like Thomas is
[Hook: Bilal]
[01:01.20]
[01:01.24]We’re all on a journey
[01:04.16]Down the hall of memories
[01:06.72]Don’t worry bout what you ain’t got
[01:09.97]Leave with a little bit of dignity
[01:12.72]Never loved what I had
[01:15.46]Always felt like I deserved more
[01:18.33]But when I
[01:20.25]Make it to the other side
[01:20.75]Make it to the other side
[01:21.82]That’s when we’ll settle up the score
[Verse 2: Black Thought]
[01:25.43]
[01:25.53]Yo, we did this in remembrance of
[01:27.65]Faces from the past
[01:29.09]We no longer have an image of
[01:30.52]Carrying cold blood hearts
[01:32.27]That never been for love
[01:33.52]Brothers keep going for theirs but never get enough
[01:36.33]World travelers that seen it all
[01:38.58]And did enough
[01:39.26]Only to return to learn
[01:40.45]The world wasn’t big enough
[01:42.20]Damn, how long has it been?
[01:43.76]I guess the jig is up
[01:45.38]Now all I know is I’m about to wake this n*gga up
[01:48.07]Yeah that hindsight 20/20 now n*ggas dead on the money
[01:52.12]Trying to take something from me
[01:53.82]It’s a wrap like mummy
[01:55.25]Undone I am becoming and,
[01:56.56]When he’s tired of running
[01:57.45]Through the layers of the onion
[02:00.20]He’ll probably shed a tear
[02:01.27]Cause they’ll be no more fast times
[02:02.77]Just his weak mind scrolled out like a bad sign
[02:04.89]He never had enough and got confused when they asked why
[02:08.58]Life is only a moment in time and it passed by
[Hook: Bilal]
[02:11.35]
[02:11.45]We’re all on a journey
[02:14.38]Down the hall of memories
[02:16.90]Don’t worry bout what you ain’t got
[02:20.25]Leave with a little bit of dignity
[02:22.81]Never loved what I had
[02:25.75]Always felt like I deserved more
[02:28.43]But when I
[02:29.68]Make it to the other side
[02:30.55]Make it to the other side
[02:31.99]That’s when we’ll settle up the score
[Verse 3: Greg Porn]
[02:35.01]
[02:35.11]I’m sitting on top of the world ready to jump off
[02:37.86]Thinking of various ways to break law
[02:40.73]Thinking that enough is enough but still I want more
[02:43.66]Thinking of how I’m playing with fire that burned my young boy
[02:46.59]By any means necessary, don’t give a damn
[02:49.48]So every night I’m on a flight that never lands
[02:52.41]Be an asshole when the shit hits the fan
[02:54.90]Or bet your life on a bluff and a bad hand
[02:58.30]Can’t win, can’t lose
[02:59.83]Get ’em gassed leave em leaking fuel
[03:01.95]Either way the market moves
[03:03.83]Cash rules kings, queens, prince and princess
[03:07.08]Every night I’m crossing a line that ain’t the finish
[03:10.03]Every thought is dark as a glass of f*cking Guinness
[03:12.89]Too far gone to come back to my senses
[03:14.82]Now I’m on the edge of my bed making love to my meds
[03:18.50]Every moments like a pistol to my head
[03:20.12]When I’m getting mine
[Hook: Bilal]
[03:21.61]
[03:21.71]We’re all on a journey
[03:24.59]Down the hall of memories
[03:27.02]Don’t worry bout what you ain’t got
[03:30.52]Leave with a little bit of dignity
[03:32.82]Never loved what I had
[03:35.63]Always felt like I deserved more
[03:38.63]But when I
[03:39.37]Make it to the other side
[03:40.87]Make it to the other side
[03:42.31]That’s when we’ll settle up the score
