TLC - Sumthin' Wicked This Way Comes(1994)

[00:00.65] Remember back in the time
[00:01.86] When the only sign we had was pickets
[00:03.62] But now in '94, it be this way, somethin' come wicked
[00:06.05] G-angs killin' others for colors
[00:07.83] Thangs that we wear for fashion
[00:09.62] Other brothers take it for a reason to be blastin'
[00:12.44] What the kcuf is goin' on
[00:13.90] Not soft like buttercups but had enough of singin' that same song
[00:17.10] See, I stayed across the street from the projects
[00:19.31] Took out yo' momma trash and groceries to her trunk
[00:22.12] To keep my pockets fat, like cellulite
[00:24.23] Only been to jail one week for some shull-bit
[00:26.59] And I pray to God I won't repeat
[00:27.98] I shoulda pulled it when I had the chance to
[00:31.17] No, I shouldn't a did that, 'cause if I did that
[00:33.55] Y'all would not hear that phat shit
[00:35.60] That keeps you on your tippy-tippy-toes
[00:37.43] Like that sellout, not callin' no names
[00:39.34] But really, "who's bad"
[00:40.46] I go through obstacles like a whole box of condoms
[00:43.19] You can't forget where you come from
[00:45.48] Take a good look in the mirror
[00:50.50] And tell me, do you like what you see
[00:55.19] Masters of deception, corruption and evil
[01:00.66] But you're always quick to point the finger at me
[01:06.34] Won't somebody tell me
[01:09.09] I just don't understand
[01:13.00] The ways of the world today
[01:17.13] Sometimes I feel like there's nothing to live for
[01:22.90] So I'm longing for the days of yesterday
[01:30.56] What gave you the right to misjudge me
[01:35.19] And write me off on the wall
[01:39.67] Acting as if you understand me
[01:45.09] In reality, you just don't know me at all
[01:52.04] Sometimes I can't help but wonder
[01:56.40] If this was how it's meant to be
[02:02.01] But if you search deep enough in your soul
[02:07.59] You'll always find a slight reminder of me
[02:12.72] Won't somebody tell me
[02:15.92] I just don't understand
[02:19.80] The ways of the world today
[02:24.33] Sometimes I feel like there's nothing to live for
[02:29.85] So I'm longing for the days of yesterday
[02:36.41] A-yo, if we could all agree
[02:38.52] To lettin' our souls become free
[02:40.92] Of that sweet bitterness
[02:42.65] Then who's chest would have the most seeds
[02:44.82] I keep misfocusin' my needs
[02:47.56] And distress on my back with them cats
[02:50.20] They be blastin' into my knapsack
[02:52.39] Ain't no accidental deathtraps
[02:54.65] My mishap is the fact that I'm destined to snap
[02:57.78] It's when I feel as though my body's able to go
[03:01.79] My mind is ready to flow
[03:03.55] Did you know first you catch and then I throw
[03:07.24] It's my own sense of time
[03:09.54] If I'm late, it's 'cause I'm endin' my day
[03:11.84] Just when the sun shines
[03:13.64] And still gently advising the arisin' of the moon
[03:17.48] As it rolls around into my soundproof dimension
[03:22.74] I just don't understand
[03:26.91] The ways of the world today
[03:31.37] Sometimes I feel like there's nothing to live for
[03:36.92] So I'm longing for the days of yesterday
[03:45.22] I just don't understand
[03:49.34] The ways of the world today
[03:53.76] Sometimes I feel like there's nothing to live for
[03:59.17] So I'm longing for the days of yesterday
