Never - The Roots, Patty Crash

Street dreams, close your eyes

Say goodbye to my memory

Street dreams, this is the moment

The moment that feels like forever

This is the end, to where I began

And it feels like forever

They say time flies

Down from the sky, and says never (Never, never)

I look down (Down, down)

All I see is never (Never, never)

And all I know, is all I know (All I know, I know, I know…)

I was born faceless in an oasis

Folks disappear here and leave no traces

No family ties nigga, no laces

Less than a full deck nigga, no aces

Waitin' on Superman, losing all patience

Gettin' wasted on an everyday basis

I’m stuck here, can’t take a vacation

So fuck it, this shit is damnation

This is reality, mane

Ain’t no surprise I’ve been bangin' without any mane

What is this?

Gotta be brave

When into the night I’ma go quietly mane

Life is a bitch and then you live

Until one day by death you’re found

I tried to keep both of my feet on the ground

But I know my head is surrounded by clouds

Spirallin' down, destined to drown

Forever is just a collection of nows

Off on my own, nowhere is my home

Approaching infinity’s fork in the road

When I was young, something I often was told

It’s not a bargain if it costs you your soul

Costs you your pride, caution aside

I’m gone with the wind and along for the ride

Wish I could rest, and open my eyes

But time ain’t finna fly down from the sky

A place where the lonely love

Not another soul’s there, only us (Only us, only us)

Street dreams, close your eyes

Say goodbye to my memory

Street dreams, this is the moment

The moment that feels like forever

This is the end, to where I began

And it feels like forever

They say time flies

Down from the sky, and says never (Never, never)

I look down (Down, down)

All I see is never (Never, never)

And all I know, is all I know

I woke with a tear drop

All I know, it’s all I know

I woke with a tear drop

All I know, it’s all I know

It’s all I know, all I know (Know, know, know)
