Yo Yo

Bus stoppin' on the sidewalk and cats on the phone talkin'

This and that and just another day in my habitat

Street joggers and birds chirpin' an' tree toppin'

Crows walk alone while persons workin' and need nothin'

Coffee sippin not gon listen follow willin'

Politicians I be sittin' chillin' feel lots of fizzin'

Upon the daily

Starin' at this woman and a baby

Wonder why the trees make us act so shady

Lately been checkin' for the kids 'cross the street

'Cause for them be whom I speak when the thoughts get deep

Leaders of the marches, readers, and blunt sparkers

Be home before dark, gettin' drunk in the parkers

So I stop as the light goes red

Next to two broke kids, crazy wackos and tobacco heads

'Nuff said y’all can meet me in the beatin' rain

And tell the fam I be leavin' when the seasons change

Now everybody put a hand up

'Cause if who is the question

Then you is the answer

And everybody getcha' hands up

'Cause if who is the question

Then you is the answer

And I believe in the life

And I be leavin' tonight

And I be leavin' when the time is right

And I believe in my soul

And I believe in the road

And I be leavin' 'till you come back home

Yuh

An L impressed in my chest and I’m free

Physically and mentally with the melody

An' the rhythm

We sinnin' but repentin' it by livin'

Significant intention that we sending from within an'

We pinnin' our dreams upon the beat and the word

People carvin' hella seams in the street and the curb

And yo I heard authority woud try an mark it all down

But check I’m the majority who rock with our sound

Emancipated, with tainted education gettin' faded

We comin' down and hatin' it but that’s the price we payin'

Now I’m freein' you, seeker of truth, instead of revenue

Sittin' on the avenue, when nothin’s gonna happen soon

So it ain’t a surprise we gettin' high

The smoke blowin' by in the sky

Intertwined

With the visible hopes sent afloat from out the soul

Indivisible when we roll holdin' our goals

Now everybody put a hand up

'Cause if who is the question

Then you is the answer

And everybody getcha' hands up

'Cause if who is the question

Then you is the answer

And I believe in the life

And I be leavin' tonight

And I be leavin' when the time is right

And I believe in my soul

And I believe in the road

And I be leavin' 'till you come back home

I see ya crackin' phony smiles walkin' past me

I’m watchin' lipstick on lick lips split to to call a taxi

I wish I was in the backseat sweet talkin' and heart poundin'

Sweat drippin' keepin' conversation actin' astounding

And so I glance through the window

To watch the rainfall

Thinkin' about third base wondering if she’ll play ball

Well my attention is captured

By the heart and the soul

A mohawk on a rocker who seems so far from his goal

He’s not trippin' about people laughing at him or crackin' jokes

'Cause when he looks back at us

He’s the one that laughs the most

The caskets closed on average folks not living but just existing

Like the gray haired widows and all the lifers up in prison

I inhale, exhale, down myself then prevail

I breathe in the melody then release a street tale

Of three that came together and stayed true to their dreams

Reminding you to never give up on these daily routines

Now everybody put a hand up

'Cause if who is the question

Then you is the answer

And everybody getcha' hands up

'Cause if who is the question

Then you is the answer

And I believe in the life

And I be leavin' tonight

And I be leavin' when the time is right

And I believe in my soul

And I believe in the road

And I be leavin' 'till you come back home

Yup 'till you come back home

Everybody comin' out

We’re gonna get real big real big

Put out a new album

Roosevelt High School '07-'08 fuck that shit and beyond

We’re doin' it real big every day

And I believe in the life

And I be leavin' tonight

And I be leavin' when the time is right

And I believe in my soul

And I believe in the road

And I be leavin' 'till you come back home
