Lucid (Eternal) Lyrics

I be there thru it all, win, lose, or draw

Winter, spring, summer, fall

If we fly or if we fall

Until we at the crossroads

Every road we go across

Loyalty is everything

But it's nothing if it's lost

If I'm tryna get it in and you ain't down

Or if I'm tryna be a friend and you ain't found

Don't be callin' my line for no inspiration

When the goin' get tough, too much hesitation

Where you been, Where you been

Where you been mo'fucka

Where you been

Long time no see old friend

Time is money, but it don't feel the same

When it spends

Where you been, Where you been

Where you been my nigga

Where you been

Long time no see old friend

Time is money, but it don't feel the same

When it spends

Even though they both means to an end

We getting ends, to the end

No you can't take it with you

Gotta leave it for your kin

You and try to press the issue

Go and buy a set of rims

Shorty go and get hair nails did

We all wear mask, no pretend

But its something 'bout

Being comfortable in your own skin

Had to promise

That I would never lose myself again

And acknowledge that I had some demons

That's within that was fighting

But regardless knew the God was gonna win

In the end, once again

I survive every fall

And bounce back standing tall

I be there thru it all, win, lose, or draw

Winter, spring, summer, fall

If you fly or if you fall

Until we at the crossroads

Every road we go across

Loyalty is everything

But it's nothing if it's lost

Where you been, Where you been

Where you been mo'fucka

Where you been

Long time no see old friend

Time is money, but it don't feel the same way

When it spends

Where you been, Where you been

Where you been my nigga

Where you been

Long time no see old friend

Time is money, but it don't feel the same way

When it spends

If I'm tryna get it in and you ain't down

Or if I'm tryna be a friend

And you ain't found

Don't be callin' my line for no inspiration

When the goin' get tough

Too much hesitation

Woke up on the wrong side of the bed

Hit the bottle

Filled up a clip with hollow heads

Read the bible

Vengeance is mine as god said

But in survival

It's strictly kill or get deaded on arrival

Love of the bread

It turn friends into rival

They snitch to the feds

Don't wanna be held liable

Simply unreliable

They ain't doing time for you

Nobody gonna die for you

The heat is held closest

Paranoia in large doses

Can't even eat without looking over the shoulder

Saying grace with eyes open alert and focus

Know its no way to live

But change in this state is hopeless

Learn through osmosis

Word to Moses they divide and conquer

Friends close enemies closer

Has become the mantra

Become an entree or a vulture

They circle the culture

All that you know is what  they taught ya

You'll be even saltier after they assault ya

Add insult to injury, police perjury

Hung by the jury

It's to the plantation wit ya

Feel the devils fury

Shit is just a cycle like reincarnation

Woke up the the morning

As the captain of a slave ship

Questioning my destination

Look at all these beautiful black faces

And I know exactly where this map takes us

And you ain't down

If I'm tryna be a friend

And you ain't found

Don't be callin' my line for no inspiration

When the goin' get tough

Too much hesitation

Where you been, Where you been

Where you been mo'fucka

Where you been

Long time no see Old friend

Time is money, but it don't feel the same

When it spends

Where you been, Where you been

Where you been my nigga

Where you been

Long time no see Old friend

Time is money, but it don't feel the same

When it spends

The truth is always in pain

Lies are always in vain

It seems your world is in flames

So you're always enraged

Insane, it stays the same

Nothing ever changes

Life is an open book

Burn the pages, still can't erase it
