Lyrics
-PMP-
I met this fellow once in my past travels,
He owned a pet he kept in
His pocket and oh how it wept
To be free, yes to truly be
Free
But escape from the man
Was the pet's only plan
To run from the love
Whose pocket was shoved
Himself deep within.
So dramatic was the getaway
Symbolic for so many reasons
Broke all of the chains
And was leavin'
But what the pet realized
Is he was free all along
In fact he had beautiful wings of
Gold
And as these he could never
Be let down or lonely
Broken or hungry
So he went back home.
-VIC-
Chill as you will, hold still, here's the deal,
I drove all day and all night
just to rap to earn a meal.
But my hunger pains are craving something
Other than food...
I'm hopin' wakin' up surprised greeted
By a good mood.
So sooth your soul
Grab a bowl of knowledge cereal
Poor some milk that be cold
Don't worry being young
Don't worry being old
Don't worry about not doing what you’ve
Been told
unless it was something once your mama said
unless it was that voice you hear from in your head
1,2,3, time to change, you see,
never be afraid cuz what will be will be.
So here's your opportunity to feel the free.
So here's your opportunity to feel the free.
-Chorus-
But don't worry about it.
We're just singing about another love story.
Don't pay attention.
What we're saying's not really important
Anyway.
Just a moment gone fleeting.
Look it passed already, I'm afraid
You missed it.
But not as much as I miss you.
But not as much as I miss you.
-PMP-
And I'm back with a story
About a girl who simply thought that
Everything was a game, fore
playing with the boys,
nice toys, and well dressed
to top it all off
so I am here to expose
her Versace and rolls
and show this sweet kid
who she is.
You're not a freak, you're daddy's
Little angel
You're not a product of the
Street, the tube's just trained ya.
And I could bring you back
to square one, but what
good would it do you'd just
move on to square two.
So what you need to accomplish
In your mind set
And be sure to get it straight
don't forget
you can be just as strong as you
want to be, but you'll never
be as strong as...
-VIC-
Don't be afraid, what will be will be...
Those words that I once said to me.
But I'm scared, there's the truth.
I'm shakin' in my boots.
I gotta climb the tree, but feel the roots.
The people call me ruthless cuz I’m
Without ruth.
That don't make sense to me, all sense
Used and abused.
Call me a sleuth, cuz check it out,
I already solved it.
Simmering my concern, ending straight
Dissolved it.
I called it, your bluff. That's quite enough
Of the faking, time to wake and walk the
Rough path, infamous, known as reality.
I refuse to be another unreported fatality;
I refer to the living dead stuck in front of television,
Can't comprehend a life without it,
So I took up a mission
To prove that it exists,
I saw it on a rerun
Of a past life, way back when this
Was begun.
-Chorus-
