Boy Socrates - 09.09.2002 Lyrics

(We pray for those in the warzone
On the battleground
Those who are victims from the air
And those who are caught in a skirmish between nations
There's more we can do
We're better than that
As human beings, we are created in the image of the divine
We're filled with love
Now is the time to show it)

Up in the sky
Bitch I'm headed to the moon I'm on a hell of a ride
Had the glasses since a youngin but they cleared me to fly
Swear this rap shit got me feeling like I'm never gon die
Man y'all got me too emotional swore I wouldn't cry

My hoodie faded
Fraying at the seam and the pocket is double weighted
And we can't even ball at the park cause that shit is gated
Maybe we can scrounge up a five if we dedicated
And now I'm seeing double like
Hoodie faded
I told you keep your hand out your pocket that shit is dangerous
You better be home before dark and don't keep me waiting
And don't let that bulb over your head get illuminated
It get you into trouble like

2 birthdays and 2 Christmases
Searching for a symbol that'll tell you where the difference is
To great lengths and great distances
Hurting for a smile when we pulling off
Straight to the sky
Where there's pancakes and parades on every 4th of July
All this happiness afraid of never feeling it
So I got to put this out so if I ever do die
They can say I'm where I'm supposed to be my head in the clouds

And my hoodie faded
Fraying at the seam and the pocket is double weighted
And we can't even ball at the park
Shit is gated
Maybe we can scrounge up a ten if we dedicated
And now I'm seeing double like
Hoodie faded
I told you keep your hand out your pocket that shit is dangerous
You better be home before dark and don't keep me waiting
And don't let that bulb over your head get illuminated
Get you into trouble like

(Life is precious)
Got to savor every moment 'fore they leave you breathless
So while I'm here I fill my head up with the shit I hear and make it clear I'm grateful for the blessings
I tell these niggas I always believe
There's nobody that I'm beneath
I ain't never finna be shocked by all the shit I achieve
I'm like
Make 'em move with every rhyme that I weave
I'm just a kid who's learning how to be free and say that shit one more time

Hoodie faded
Fraying at the seam and the pocket is double weighted
And we can't even ball at the park cause that shit is gated
Maybe we can earn us a mil if we dedicated
But now I'm seeing double like
Hoodie faded
You keep your f*ckin hand out that pocket that shit is dangerous
Get your little ass home before dark Keep me waiting
Don't let that bulb over your head get illuminated
It get you into trouble like

(And that's your word, in a minute)
