Thangs aint tha same no mo up n tha hood
Steady C walkin' up to no good
From a lil town whurr young Natives get bucc
Quicc to throw them thangs up wit cha
...
On a dark desert highway, cool wind in my hair
Warm smell of colitas, rising up through the air
Up ahead in the distance, I saw shimmering light
My head grew heavy and my sight grew dim
...
To my unborn child..
To my unborn child.. in case I don't make it
Just remember daddy loves you
[talking in background]
...
I'm steady Crippn' insane
Loc'd ta tha brain
It's gettin' hard ta maitain my composer
Living life behind dirty bars got me thinkn' insane
...
Lovin' a convict is so hard they say
Lovin' him is the price you all have to pay
It's lovin' him with no one to hold
It's being young and feeling old.
...
[Chorus (Acapella) ]
In the night, I hear them talk the coldest story ever told
Somewhere far along this road, he lost his soul
To a woman so heartless [echoes 3X]
...
[Verse: ]
I'm not loving you, the way I wanted to
What I had to do, had to run from you
I'm in love with you but the vibe is wrong
...
