[Intro: ?]
Once you deal with the metal
You know what I'm saying
Then everything else speaks for itself
Once you tell somebody you know how powerful they mind is
And they think about it, then they start to utilize it
You know what I'm saying
[Verse: themindofdre]
I'm fadin' away from heaven
To teach a lesson, I'm blessed
Who said it's Jesus, I don't believe him a second
We're [???] imagination
Existence is giving impressions of being real
Really it's only oppression
And dreams are really freedom, we're seeking like heated missiles
Stuck inside the dead cell[?], saying d**h I'm coming to kiss you goodnight
Goodbye people still wiping your eyes, crying
I'm dying inside, but the outer refuses to follow my lead
f** a baby, I mastered the plan, laughing
I end the light in the dark, you're just a flash in the pan
Conformist former[?], form opinions, storm troopers, attack of the clones b**hes
That's how I describe you minions
Just a pimple on the a** of this thing called existence
Blowin' [???] of meaning and we probably missed it
Listen the truth is harder, just swallow like hollow bullets
So follow me primadonnas cause honestly I'mma pull it
[Interlude: Paul E Doggs]
The past is a do not-enter street
Pa**ing by, you may look and reminisce
Far too many memories are on this street
We know we shouldn't go down it but, we do anyway
Going down memory lane, we get lost
We wander so far down this road, we forget where we are
We forget how to get back
Going deeper, we see things we wish we did differently
We see things we wish we said
But on this street, you got no voice
On this street, you'll have no presence
On this street, you're nothing more than a ghost
This street is a dead end
This street is a one way, leading you right back to the present
The realest truth is, the past should be left alone
The past is over
The past cannot be changed
The past should not be looked at in mind, repeating over and over and over again
The sooner you step out of the past, the sooner you can live in the present
Stop wasting your time on a dead end street
Stop wasting your time on a street you shouldn't have entered
Just stop wasting your time
Because when all is said and done
The past is just a matter of opinion
Because we all remember things differently
[Outro: ?]
Regardless, of where you're from
You know, it's where you're at
(You know like if, if people can,) if people (who know you the crutch) [???]
They ain't got this or they ain't got that
(You know, that's...)
Everything else is material, you know what I'm saying
As long as they got their physical form and their mind
Whatever they want to have they can have
You know and I express that too
