When biggie was it was all a dreamin’
I could hear  my father screamin’
He was either bored or even short of leavin’
Striving to make a living decent
I was struggling with my demons
Lying to my mother even stealing out her purse was my weaknesss
If i could find a reason
I tried to keep up with my friends who had more money in then we did..
Now that my youth is leaving
I realised you have to fall to be so seasoned
The way the asthma had me breathin’
Felt my soul leaving once when i was wheezin’
Heaving out the pain around me on the average evening
Baba can you tell me what’s the meaning
Of all the hurt all the struggle all the feeling..
Back when wanting to live forever was so appealing
And my soul was peeling, all the layers to our time together
We need some healing
Back When Wu-tang Was Forever
And we were just children, thought we could live forever
I used to visit every summer, and see you on the come up
Got to know you through your brother
My mother cried with me on the day you died
I was 22, now I'm 35, out of mind
Generation in a bind, out of body, out of time, inner space
Intertwined, interfaced by design
Now, Let me blaze your intent, nobody here for pretend
Out of sheer ignorance, we all need the attention
I hope you head the intention, we all bleed in the end
And never meet at the end, in the end
Wu-Tang was for the children, and how we grow together
It was all a feeling, like the golden era
I listen to my children, they have all the healing
We are in the building, tearing off the ceiling
