{Chorus: The Delfonics} You're the same old girl That lived across the street And you're the same old girl, yeah That I was dying to meet Well, now you're running around {Verse One: Six The Don} (Uh-Uh) P.S.A. for the evening Preaching from the cement Perched outside of Eden Down the block from heathens Mingle with the demons Make a movie like I’m Steven Spielberg Keep a steel bird That’s for the schemers Snakes slither Through the streets A ni**a sleeps in Big Apple bleeding My kids thеy barely teething A ni**a heart freezing To feed them I seek thе freedom If there’s some green greed In this garden I got to see it Word to Pope Pius I can’t be driving no Prius For them Benz on BB’s For sheezy I’m with the BS Girls dressed in cheetah print Meet with us to deceive us You’d give a rib to see her Deliver my ass from Eva fu*k your union They’ll drive a wedge in between it Man they don’t give a sh*t As long as your car is keyless Temptation it be fierce But only God I fear Reclining in a lear My vision is crystal clear (Uh) We need a resolution like Aaliyah Indeed the revolution could be here I dream of a solution with my peers Devil whispers in their ear Guaranteed to leave them seared (Uh) The loss of innocence Forbidden fruit That’s the fall of the ignorant You’re free to choose All the pure Cain I was Able to move Doesn’t ever add up To the wealth I’ve accrued (Uh) Sins of a father That’s Passed through the roots So I Changed my moves Can’t be Acting no fool Got to Rewrite the rules Got to Follow the moons It’s the fall for most But me I kept it cool {Chorus: ATM, The Delfonics} You're the same old girl That lived across the street (This the garden) And you're the same old girl, yeah That I was dying to meet (This where the snakes dwell) Well, now you're running around {Verse Two: ATM} As the world turns And the paradise burns The slurs can be heard At the footsteps of the church That’s dirt But what’s a church If not the congregation? If not the spoken word Them things that build nations If not embodied truth Truth is your only savior In The Garden, where in the dark They hide the slave ships I fear no man In the celestial city Swinging my gonads And God got my whole back So know that ni**a I rest my case with you I’m seeing through, everyone What stands up to truth? Lucifer son of the morning fu*k is you? Them lies just won’t do Disguised as false truths I done mowed through this garden With lack of better tools I done plucked through lotuses Stole a heart or two I ate the forbidden fruit Cause who follows rules? Even when I make them I break them, so no excuse I rise just to fall again My ugly truth Knock me down nine times I get up ten As Kings do My Queens jewels Supreme Being With Supreme McGriff views ni**a vision all skewed I Madison Squared the Garden The Mecca Hallelu-jah demons clashing with mine Truth marches with my troops See the divine Flows in my bloodline Meet the Tribe of the Gods Still tied to the mob Brick laying, boot strapped Created my own job Planted a field of dreams So my kids can run around Yeah We building paradise boys And you in line to be Chief So keep ya poise {Outro: ATM} We gon’ brush everything off (Uh) As long as you know who you are You know whose you are You know where you're going And you remember where you from We gon’ be ok (Uh)
