Silo - Someday lyrics

[Verse One] [Champ] Pay attention this is one time only One of a kind homie One rhyme at a time, until the front lines know me This is one for the ages, I'm an open book Thumb through the pages, take whatever you like Before I ever wore Nikes Stole my bike out the backyard Snuck up in the drive in We watched from on top of the car Got that pawn shop guitar when I turned 11 And learned a reverend is only a man I remember when we would bump those pioneers Through the Pioneers Six by nines To fix our minds Mix our times up to Five and dimes Workin, nine to fives Just to, try and survive So we would climb and strive Knowin' it was a crap shoot Just to get that loot So I would sit and listen to my favorite rap group When it was Triple Fat Goose and Patrick Ewings That's what cats was doin' The crack was ruinin' cities Mad people without work Just stuck with habits and no way to dig out dirt As luck would have it We had dipped to the outskirt I watched it from a distance, determined to make a difference Someday [Verse Two] [Trek Life] Someday man People listen this is pieces of a man left Stealin' back my childhood dreams so every time I breath it it's Grand Theft Young days were the best Couldn't ride my bike down to Lee's cause the danger of G's but I still crept Hard headed, soft behind maker, own time taker Clone of my big brother Rome But a cry baby, had to have my own way But it never came Scared of the ball but not afraid of change Went from substance to Bugle Boy to Cross Colored jeans Had my own style but found it hard pullin' queens Way I handle women now, that makes it hard to believe But my insecurities just makes it hard to concede to failure I probably need to tell 'em That I care but I don't trust 'em, I proceed to let 'em Go But every time I watch 'em leave they Take a piece of me, that I say that I don't need And that's the ebb and flow And these just ain't words to a song I bring murder upon Anybody who touches my older sister wrong This growin' up sh** is takin' long There's things I've never given up to God I'll probably have to someday [Verse Three] [Silo] Yeah, someday dude Let me talk I was a black kid in the burbs Private school educated But when it came to me, them educators hesitated Takin' their efforts in teachin' me would be negated By my black skin So they never took action Never knew Pops taught me to read when I was two And by three Adding and subtracting were my hobbies They thought I couldn't compete with little Sue and Bobby Kinda little myself, still the man is tryin' to rob me At sixteen, I was with the doc as he sifted Through test results, realized, Si was gifted He got kinda misty cause so many people missed it But the damage was done Black skin, black listed So now I get paid for pushing sh** around With hundreds of pounds gettin' lifted off the ground And I won't make a sound Won't frown Won't complain I won't play the victim in this game We all strugglin', tryin' to break them chains Some need to lay wang just to cope with the pain And me? I just concentrate, focus my aim To make a difference so people will remember my name Someday
