Graffiti skies, skies… I don't think ya'll ready Yo, I don't think ya'll ready
Graffiti decorations under a sky of gray This constant apprehension still giving me away The lessons I've forgotten In spite of all I've learned Now I find myself in question (Point, point the finger at me again) Guilty by association (Point, point the finger at me again)
I wanna runaway (I wanna runaway) I wanna know the truth (I wanna know the truth) I wanna know the answers (I wanna know the answers) I wanna shut the door (And open up my mind) And open up my mind (And open up my mind)
Paper bags and angry voices under a sky of gray This constant apprehension won't seem to go away All my talk of starting over These words were never true Now I find myself in question (Point, point the finger at me again) I'm guilty by association (Point, point the finger at me again)
I wanna runaway (I wanna runaway) I wanna know the truth (I wanna know the truth) I wanna know the answers (I wanna know the answers) I wanna shut the door (And open up my mind) And open up my mind (And open up my mind)
Gonna runaway, gonna runaway Gonna runaway, gonna runaway Runaway {being scratched over and over again} (Ya'll not ready)
Hey yo I don't think ya'll ready for what I'm about to do Y'all new school dudes ain't even got no clue How dare you forget about Bam and Zulu Two urban jazz DJ's they paved the way Let me spit it to y'all who said I wasn't gonna make it Every time I blaze it, ya'll the first to hate it My team reins supreme and stays strong Every 2 series son, they scared to put us on Can't get with the high prince, get off your high atis Too many of y'all is dyin' for us so I gotta blaze it I'm still reppin' BK, Brooklyn D and on Hell fire and family alienation Banging hits in the backyard Out on the episode I'm a little kid named Phoenix Orion
I wanna runaway (I wanna runaway) I wanna know the truth (I wanna know the truth) I wanna know the answers (I wanna know the answers) I wanna shut the door (And open up my mind) And open up my mind (And open up my mind)
