"Sometimes" lyrics
Grafh & Tony Yayo Lyrics
(feat. Sly Pyper)
(They ain't doin' like BlackNailz do it)
I reminisce, I reminisce
I reminisce, I reminisce
Yeah
Sometimes we wanna change, begin again, but our environment won't allow us to
I know a few winners in the game, but if you stay in it, like when in Vegas, nigga, you 'bound to lose
Broken too much, pushin' through pain, but sometimes you can't get numb enough from whatever the vice you choose
Shit's crazy sometimes, mean streets raised me, son of a gun, so it's hard to walk in my father's shoes
Sometimes
This thing here, a lot goes in it
It's cold outside and my heart done got froze in it
It got numb, so when the dark come, it's not no limit
No, we don't take the high road, we blow potholes in it
And God knows
If it's not no business, the shops close
When I drop loads of potholes, a whole pot roast's in it
We got those
This pain here never run out
Uh, I got so many tears, but they never come out
You livin' in fear, you niggas are scared, so you never come out
Some niggas was weird that they never hung out
We was on the block all day, so there ain't no tellin' me
That these plain old felonies ain't home remedies
I'm a real Queens nigga, it's the same old treacheries
So my verses sound like Tony Yayo's memories
Birds of the yayo feathery
I whip it and the tomato and celery
I serve alfredo, peppery
Same dope treasury
Same haters, the same old enemies
Sometimes, word, uh
Sometimes we wanna change, begin again, but our environment won't allow us to
I know a few winners in the game, but if you stay in it, like when in Vegas, nigga, you 'bound to lose
Broken too much, pushin' through pain, but sometimes you can't get numb enough from whatever the vice you choose
Shit's crazy sometimes, mean streets raised me, son of a gun, so it's hard to walk in my father's shoes
Sometimes
Gladiator Maximus in the coliseum
I jumped off the porch at fifteen and started slingin'
The truth get silenced when the powerful are speakin'
Live life with love, I don't have expectations
My city never sleepin', niggas always hatin'
Brenda got a baby, grandma always take her
I miss them bus trips and them block parties
Eighth grade, got robbed for my Starter, wanted to kill somebody
The Q85 taught me how to fight
Used to jump the dollar van, niggas took flight
I learned how to work the stove, RIP to Bo Diddley
Went to culinary class in a kitchen with a half a ki'
South side, how a nigga got more stripes than me?
When Just brought Nas to the block, I was servin' fiends
I was servin' fiends
I reminisce, I reminisce
I reminisce, I reminisce
I reminisce, more God
Sometimes we wanna change, begin again, but our environment won't allow us to
I know a few winners in the game, but if you stay in it, like when in Vegas, nigga, you 'bound to lose
Broken too much, pushin' through pain, but sometimes you can't get numb enough from whatever the vice you choose
Shit's crazy sometimes, mean streets raised me, son of a gun, so it's hard to walk in my father's shoes
Sometimes
Oh, sometimes
I wanna walk away, but for my people, gotta stay up on that battlefield, sometimes, sometimes
Forgive me, Lord, though I know what I do
It ain't my fault since one 'til they turned me in two
I post my guns and cats, the bitches goin' wild
Came up with my crew, tell me how you like me now
Sometimes we wanna change, begin again, but our environment won't allow us to
I know a few winners in the game, but if you stay in it, like when in Vegas, nigga, you 'bound to lose
Broken too much, pushin' through pain, but sometimes you can't get numb enough from whatever the vice you choose
Shit's crazy sometimes, mean streets raised me, son of a gun, so it's hard to walk in my father's shoes
Sometimes
I reminisce, I reminisce
I reminisce, I reminisce
Yeah
Sometimes we wanna change, begin again, but our environment won't allow us to
I know a few winners in the game, but if you stay in it, like when in Vegas, nigga, you 'bound to lose
Broken too much, pushin' through pain, but sometimes you can't get numb enough from whatever the vice you choose
