[Verse 1: LL COOL J]
I came up off the street
Took some pissy steps up to the belly of the beast
Which way I go? Kinda confusin', the machines are not workin’
There ain't no tokens or nothin', this shit done changed all a sudden
It’s like I died and came back, different faces and ages
On their phones and computers, no one is readin' the papers
Don't know who's contagious, white lady look funny
This Black kid talkin' 'bout droppin' forty and twenty
Only thing on my mind, "You won't take nothin’ from me"
And the nurse sittin’ across from me, she really look lovely
And the lady sittin' nеxt to me was slow to move her stuff
Shе ain’t wanna let me sit down, afraid of how I get down
Ain't dealin' with that shit now, I'm goin’ on a ride
I wonder how these people feelin' really deep inside
I'm home, but damn, this shit don't feel like I remember
Matter fact, it been about thirty Decembers
And these kids don't even know who I am
You don't know you in the presence of a real made man
You standin' too close, ain't nothin' sweet, no sugar, no glucose
Move for the bread and you toast
Been so long
The whole world turned upside down while I was gone
I'm lookin' at the signs, I don't wanna read 'em wrong
You can cut it with a knife, the vibes are so strong
I stand up, step off, step on new platforms
Wow, this shit done really transformed
A new breed of killers, yellow-eyed gorillas
Backs against the wall, lookin' at me with a snarl
I came up off the street
Took some pissy steps up to the belly of the beast
Which way I go? Kinda confusin', the machines are not workin’
There ain't no tokens or nothin', this shit done changed all a sudden
It’s like I died and came back, different faces and ages
On their phones and computers, no one is readin' the papers
