Intro:
It was a gorgeous day in 92'
The birds were chirping and the sky was blue..
Kids were singing... a song of freedom
No pain in the eyes of youth..or you.. or we
It was a gorgeous day
A gorgeous
Chorus:
Cruising up the highway - with our high ways
With our lost days and I knowww
We are one in the same, locked in this cage
Locked in our pain, and I know

Verse 1:
He yelled "pay respect to who?
To cats who dress and rap
And yell and act like you?!"
I'm cool -
A breeze flowing through trees - so I'm intune
Kicking, pushing, riding with the blues
Grooving, spitting, riding with the music
I'm sick and f**ing tired - of listening to bullsh**
" said it must beee, cause I got two chains
Hoes and these cars, but I got no brains
Dancing puppeteer, d-d-dancing for the change
Fooling all my fans, replacing all this pain
Idolize my name your life won't ever be the same
Idolize my name your life won't ever be the same"
Chorus:
Cruising up the highway - with our high ways
With our lost days and I knowww
We are one in the same, locked in this cage
Locked in our pain, and I know
Verse 2:
She lost the God inside - so she searched it in religion
She thought she found her light - had a kid and then repented
I fell in love with her daughter - but now she's lost too
How do you cope with the pain of loving a woman
Who's mother made her stop loving you
Cause it's wrong says the book, says the book
You'll burn in hell says the book, says the book
Just turn away says the book -
The same book, murdering and having us shook - I said
Chorus:
Cruising up the highway - with our high ways
With our lost days and I knowww
We are one in the same,locked in this cage
Locked in our pain, and I know
Verse 3:
I'm not perfect, I'm a savage
Ripping through my flesh just to see if it's worth it
This booth is my casket
This mic is afterlife
Fresh to d**h when I'm rapping
Catch your breath or catch your life
Imagine, a crowd of 250,000 -
Staring at one person, rapping or talking
Another martin tragedy
This time the sun will die
This time the world will end
This time every person I touch will cry and then forget
I said - I'm gonna die in my late 20's
I saw this when I was 6
Before art and music ever took over
My body and soul
I saw this
I saw this
This vision
I saw it
Chorus:
Cruising up the highway - with our high ways
With our lost days and I knowww
We are one in the same, locked in this cage
Locked in our pain, and I know
Skit:
Man this cat can't rap - he better pay respect (referring to 1st verse)
Pam stay away from my daughter, stay away from my f**ing daughter ( referring to 2nd verse)
*gun shots* (referring to the 3rd verse)
It was a gorgeous day in 92'
The birds were chirping and the sky was blue..
Kids were singing... a song of freedom
No pain in the eyes of youth..or you.. or we
