It's the change of the tide
It's the counting of the clock
When the city comes in
And fills in all the dots
And you're stuck in a skyline
With a glass ceiling top
Like the beginning of something
So why'd you want it to stop
Just a refresh of youths
Just a symptom of want
We dress the favorites as scapegoats
And see if they'll prop
Seen that chance isn't random
Seen it take from the have nots
Just some common day ramblings
Modern English, all I got

And I
Wonder all the time
If there's good reason
Or something despite
With my head to the car
Red and blue shine likes stars
The same way the night my brother had died
It's dancing round the room
I guess you know the truth
It's something
Waiting or not
Modern english
Yeah it's all that I got

She was the moment
But only for the night
I was messing around
Getting way too high
Till the cop pulled me over on seventy-five
With too sudden a move
A nigga might take flight
But it's never enough
Still a nigga despite
Guess I'm calling your bluff
Hood angels never die
I was trying the set
They trying me for life
It was never enough
I guess we could just try

And I
Wonder all the time
If there's good reason
Or something despite
With my head to the car
Red and blue shine likes stars
The same way the night my brother had died
It's dancing round the room
I guess you know the truth

You trust my life forever
If I could just sight it
Warned of something
Try it
Something still despite it
Oh please tell me why I'm dying
Oh god if I tried it
If you go despite it
Oh if I would light
Enough to indict it
Oh no
Oh no
