What we have to do is deal with it when these individuals are young enough
|
If you want to be saved not in a religious sense
|
But we have to constitute what this country ?? for if only children
|
We seem to be approachin an age of the gross (burp)
|
We all have this idea that we should move up a little bit from our parents station
|
And each generation should a little better
|

|
Alright come on let's cut this bullshittin' and dub
|
Let's get it started let's start addressin' this issue
|
And open it up
|
Let's take this shit back to the basement
|
And we can discuss statements that's made on this tape
|
And this whole origina
|
The music that we all know and love the music we all enjoy
|
The music that you accuse me of tryin' to destroy
|
Let's rewind it to '89 when I was boy on the East side of Detroit
|
Crossin' 8 Mile and a war and they hit territory
|
I'd like to share a story this is my story
|
And can't nobody tell it for me
|
I am well aware that I don't belong here
|
You made that perfectly clear
|
I get my ass kicked damn they're everywhere
|
From bel air shoppin' centre just for stoppin' in there
|
From the black side all the way to the white side
|
Okay there's a bright side
|
A day that I might slide
|
You may call it a pass I call it haulin' my ass
|
Through that patch of grass over them railroad tracks
|
Oh them railroad tracks them old railroad tracks
|
Them good old notorious so well known tracks
|
|
[Chorus]
|
So let's go back
|
Follow the yellow brick road
|
As we go on another episode
|
Journey with me as I take you through this nifty little place
|
That I once used to call home sweet home
|
Come on let's go back
|
Follow the yellow brick road
|
As we go on another episode
|
Journey with me as I take you through this nifty little place
|
That I once used to call home sweet home
|
|
I roam the streets so much they call me a drifter
|
Sometimes I stick up a thumb just to hitchhike
|
Just to get picked up theyd' give me a lift up
|
8 Mile and van dyke I'd steal a goddamn bike
|
From somebody's backyard
|
And drop it off at the park
|
That was the halfway mark
|
To meet Kim had to walk back to her momma's and charmer's
|
After dark to sneak me in the house
|
When I'm kicked out my mum's
|
That's about the time I first met Proof
|
Wed goof hed carry on the steps said I was bored handin' out some flyers
|
He was doin' some talent shows at Center Line High
|
I told him to stop by and check this out some time
|
He looked at me like I'm out my mind
|
Shook his head like white boys don't know how to rhyme
|
I spit out a line and rhymed birthday with first place
|
And they both had the same rhymes that soundalike
|
We was on that same shit
|
That big daddy kane shit
|
Where compound syllables sound combined
|
From that day we was down to ride
|
Somehow we knew we'd meet again somewhere down the line
|
|
[Chorus]
|
So let's go back
|
Follow the yellow brick road
|
As we go on another episode
|
Journey with me as I take you through this nifty little place
|
That I once used to call home sweet home
|
Come on let's go back
|
Follow the yellow brick road
|
As we go on another episode
|
Journey with me as I take you through this nifty little place
|
That I once used to call home sweet home
|
|
My first year in 9th grade
|
Can't forget that day in school
|
It was cool to your man
|
