Flashback to Stardom Panacea (Ft. Raheem DeVaughn)

[Intro - Raw Poetic]
This is the rebirth of cool right here
Raheem DeVaughn, Panacea
In my lifetime, in my lifetime

[Hook x2 - Raheem DeVaughn]
It's where I've been
It's where I'm going
Take a look at me now
Take a look at me now

[Verse 1 - Raw Poetic]
My child ways used to control my days
Thoughts soft like sounds of Saint-Tropez
Back before a man wasn't too far from clay
My city was a world that's too big for me
History shaping me to what I was best to be
Lessons (?) learned from life never was stressin' me
Cloudy days left to me, when viewed respectfully
Let me be limitless, no need for boundaries
It's a natural high for a natural guy
Or, uh, tired when I was dragged from being outside
I was the Adam and Eve, innocence or survive
The thing we're born with that's beginning the lies
Before the color divide made the action the pride of me
The first step to show that I'm gonna rise
Life don't understand but it make no sense
I tried to sign a house that ain't got no fence
