1993

Back in 1990, 1990, and after 1990
Uh, check it
And back in 1993, I was just a little G
Mama told me get my shit together, maybe we could eat
Papa coming home late, yo my nigga where you been?
16, I can tell you it was nothing but a dream
Yeah, I do this for my city, yeah I do it for the East
Best believe, yeah I know a couple
Brothers that would do it for the peace
It's that thing that got you thinking, what you doing with your life?
It's that thing that got you thinking, yeah that boy kinda nice
That boy kinda right, no joke my nigga, unemployed for a while
Music is all I know, it's deeper than what I write
It's deeper than what she rides, it's deeper than what you like
I was thinking for a minute, I was chilling
I was sipping something different
With my homie selling cell, but I know that shit is real
But I know you meet these people for a reason in this world
How you feel? Just tell me just how you feel
(How you feel?)

If you feel me, if you with me, then go ahead and put your hands up
If you feel me, if you with me, then go ahead and put your hands up
This is all I know, this is all I know
This is all I know, it's all I know
This is all I know, this is all I know
Spread peace, spread love, it's all I know
This is all I know
Oh yeah, it's all I know
And this is all I know
Oh yeah, it's all I know

Some people still be feeling low
And I'm just tryna give these people hope
Good just a week ago, change in a week or so
And no surprise if you're living in the ghetto
Back in '04, niggas rob you for your phone
Shit change, I know, young homies so grown
I ain't even 24, got through 24
I was in a damn day, that's okay, that's a start
Little hope, little faith, get it on
It's the way forward, yes it's always
I've been chilling in the studio, been writing all day
I've been tryna find a way to get through all the blase
To get through the blase, ah, blase
Tryna find a way to pave a way, I ain't tryna fade away
I'm just tryna make a way, I'm just tryna stay great
I'm just tryna find a way to get through all the blase

If you feel me, if you with me, then go ahead and put your hands up
If you feel me, if you with me, then go ahead and put your hands up
This is all I know, this is all I know
This is all I know, it's all I know
This is all I know, this is all I know
Spread peace, spread love, it's all I know
This is all I know
Oh yeah, it's all I know
And this is all I know
Oh yeah, it's all I know

It's time I started speaking my mind
Homie get yours, I'm just tryna get mine
I'm tryna bring together, no stay split and divide
No wonder why your people hate you when you try and do right
City full of dreams, city full of vultures
I do it for the culture, I do it for
Everybody that said I wasn't s'posed to
Gaya de la voga, whatever that means
Nowadays my dreams seem to be underneath the belly of the beast
I'ma tell you how I'm eating
Party and the after party, meet me on the weekend
Two days of freedom, back into the cycle
And you hoping that you're weekends
So tell me who's the weakest

I've been acting on my visions lately, don't call me crazy
Sleep ain't coming, now my dreams are vacant, there's no escaping
Play the game but question all the faces, swerving when I'm fading
Drunk a master when I'm on your playlist
Show me where the James is, uh
And roll my lucky dice, trip before my head is fried
Fooling man, I'm cooling, wipe the drool and lift these heavy eyes
It comes as no surprise
They feel the energy but let it breathe and keep the time
Lucky if they see the light, uh
But tell me, tell me where you fit in
Close your eyes and reach inside and vibe to this and listen
Chase your vision, keep on running 'til you get it
Play it, play it 'til you win it, only you can see the finish
The misadventures of the illest
Until I reach a height where only those who seek can live in
For now I keep it moving, bro I'm chilling like a villain
Couple seconds 'til I finish, man the clock is always ticking
