Panacea - The Scenic Route lyrics

[Verse 1] I start by reading them rainbows Space out Lavar Burton My picture page is orchestrated by my pen working Something for certain, it's the best way to describe the person The source researching of the person past swearing and cursing From the caring and hurting, the smallest spots I'm lurking Some think I'll dry up because so many I'm deserting I'm from Virginia brother, state of lovers Undiscovered, overpopulated love was way too many motherf**ers I choose my own adventure Until I'm old with dentures And keep on loving women who will keep me growing inches Some people settle like water that never had a breeze I'm too ambitious to be having Johnny Appleseeds The blackest breathing Cherokee, one calling I fit The perfect beat or rhyme can knock you out with a hit It's all the way we set up everything you will get A life inside a dream, a scenic route for your wits [Hook x2] My head I'm holding high But on the scenic side I got a feeling we'll be taking you down low Give you a route because we're making it sound so (Good ya'll) That's what you hanging around fo' [Verse 2] I heard the call ya'll Tripping smoking a Paul Mall Asking what's the complaint for Nothing for ya'll to offer Risking it all for, I've never been a soph*more nah I'm just playing, but my name will let us talk more You want adventure with a soundtrack or love story You want the feel of fantasy in every category You wanna share my life and times and everyone before me And still take you on a flow like bubbles that support me Well held in to keep me afloat And I'll be backstroking on the flow of my life because it's dope And dope is an un-natural high And I'm a natural guy Won't cut my hair just so my afro will rise Love mother earth cause she's my natural guide Then ricochet back to my people like a bullet that's wise I paint you pictures pretty like the heavens and skies Or the way we honor our mothers who keep heaven inside It's better than pride, a messy jest, irreverent lies Let imagination take you awry It's all scenic, let imagination take you awry [Hook] [Verse 3] We all want to go back sometimes because Life was simpler before my face grew fuzz I start back in time, it's all for the love Let's go back in time, way before the d** Was evidently the reason why your uncle was wild Or knowing how the Panther Party gave momma her style And power, and racial discrimination's devoured Friendships before color started speaking louder We flash back, when freestyles ain't mixed with a** cats Take it how you want it, 4-3-2, we blastin'
