Lyrics

-- I'm a memory...did I just bring a past experience to mind as you drove on by?...I'm a fantasy...Now that you've passed you'll wonder if I could've been that special guy... You're not goin' nowhere, but you know I've been there. Hell, I musta' been all around...I can see your cold stare. I understand: You're too scared to take a chance and slow down, and take me to the next town. Ah, you don't wanna' hit the highway with me, no. As you see: I do it the hard way. Ya' know: It doesn't come free. No, it doesn't come free! - Bustin' out, with an ancient rhyme, original rhythm and this beat's on time. At home, at work, or in your car, crank it up, bring me to you, where-ever you are. I composed this song to tickle your ears, help take your mind off your problems and even your fears. I admit, this song's just a little bit lighter. But sit back and enjoy it. It'll make your day brighter. 'Got my mind and my senses in tune with the elements. Ain't no holy roller, 'don't reserve any judgements. You can do what you wanna' do. But just remember: what you do is gonna' come back to you. Nothin' that's worth it in life is free. You can think what you want, you don't gotta' believe me. Keep workin' hard for what you want to achieve. Put up a good fight for what you hope to receive. Tired of dealin' with the takin' and givin' and everything you're facin' as you're tryin' to make a livin'. Sittin' at home on payday, broke. ('Cuz) after all the bills, your cash went up in smoke. Economy's causin' you to make some heavy choices. You was stable for awhile, but now you think you're hearin' voices. All the chitter and chatter; what does it matter? If you called on your posse then the fools'd just scatter. --Well I'm a memory...Did I just bring a past experience to mind, 'cuz I'm a memory... - So: Why worry just 'cuz you're seein' a crowd? If you're gonna' take a fall, at least you'll go down proud. You got more important things to worry about than them punks on the street tryin' to wear that old game out. Call themselves pressin' you: They just don't know. They be sweatin' your nuts and you'll be ready to throw. Now ain't it cool what the big one said? Well, he'll be all messed-up when he ends up dead. Yeah, you know what you see: You've been played like a ho. They're messin' with someone they don't even know. And now you can't walk away and be played like a kid. Now ain't it a shame what this fool done did? 'Cuz now you're gonna' hafta' put the sucker in his place. But how's he gonna' act with a gun in his face? Well that's just a stupid choice some people make: One wrong move could be sealin' their fate. Instead of backin' down and turnin' around, they'd rather be walkin' a life bit down. We've got a freedom of choice, huh! For what that's worth. For some, it's just a curse that's been with 'em since birth. -- Do ya' think of me? Do I make ya' think thoughts of what it must be like to be free? Well, I'm a dreamer of dreams, a seeker for things that I'll never find...not in this day and time. Ah, you don't wanna' hit the highway with me, no. As you see, I do it the hard way, 'cuz it doesn't come free. No it doesn't come free. It never comes free. No, it doesn't come free! - 'Know what I'm sayin'? You know it's true: (That) once they've seen it done they're gonna' run and do it, too. So society's promotin' the violent nature. Then the government steps in and plays "incarcerator". No money is there for a kid's education. It's all held-up in reserve for his incarceration. And bureaucrats are rich, so they don't gotta' explain. And if you're poor like me, then you know what I'm sayin'. 'Cuz down here in the ghetto we ain't got no hope. But someone's gettin' mo' money when they catch us with dope. So keep your nose clean, don't think that you can't. 'You let 'em put you in the joint, they get a Federal Grant! They look at us down their noses let us know that we're hated, ('cuz) they're just scared they're gonna' get theirs' from the monster they created. -- Well, I'm a memory...Did I just bring a past experience to mind, 'cuz I'm a memory!..I'm a dreamer of dreams, a seeker for things that I'll never find...I'm a seeker for things that I'll never find, never find, never find. I'm a seeker for things...yeah-yeah-yeah-ayaings...
