St. Ides

[Verse 1] I think happiness went the other way Sometimes you just have to wait I never believed in God But things got so fucked up That I had to pray I used to steal my Daddy's cabernet Never thought it would turn into a rattlesnake Thinkin', everything will be all right Maybe get thru the week Maybe see another Saturday All the while where we know where to go Argue with the homies bout the road Throw on Goodie Mob Some food for the soul Till it's two in the morning When rain hits the windshield And everything is still Is it really a big deal? One hand on the steering wheel We'll be all right [Verse 2] I had a brown paper bag St. Ides on that motherfucker In the city where we smash 5-0 comin' then you know I'm running Crawling broken fences, when shit gets hard Don't know who your friend is And I lose perspective When I go to a place where I lose reception Let the silence pass by Like you're living a past life I can barely remember last night And in the morning, swear its the last time Where would I be? Can't start over if you don't get a new ID [?] in me Don't mean that motherfucker gets to dance with me! [Verse 3] Bought a house, some would call it home now (What?) Times are moving kinda slow now (What?) Watch the population grow wild (What?) A bunch of people I don't know now (What?) My city's changed and I'm zoned out I thought about New York, maybe SoCal Thru condos people can't afford now Hearts bulldozed and tore down Overpopulated but the city is a ghost town Keep a little real ones with me When it goes down Conversely, think about Sloane now Only reason I would ever leave my hometown If I still drink, I would crack a 40 ounce Parents left, moved away, sold the house It's been hard to ignore now Wish we could sort it out Last couple says pour it out St. Ides
