This constant apprehension Still giving me away The lessons I've forgotten In spite of all I've learned Now I find myself in question I'm going to think about me again Guilty by association I'm going to think about me again I want to run away I want to know the truth I want to know the answers I want to shut the door And open up my mind Paper bags and angry voices Under a sky of grey This constant apprehension Won't seem to go away All my talk of starting over These words were never true Now I find myself in question I'm going to think about me again Guilty by association I'm going to think about me again I want to run away I want to know the truth I want to know the answers I want to shut the door And open up my mind Gonna run away, gonna run away Gonna run away, gonna run away Uh, y'all not ready I don't think y'all ready for what I'm about to do Y'all no school dudes, ain't even got no clue How dare you forget about BAM and Zulu Kuhn, Hurk and Jazzy J, they paved the way Let me spit it to y'all who said I wasn't gonna make it Every time I blaze it, y'all the first to hate it My team in the game, supreme, we stay strong Got the truth, serious fun, ain't scared to put us on Can't get with hot breads, get off your hiatus Too many artists dying for us, so I gotta blaze it Still with the BK, Brooklyn, Vietnam Hellfire family, alienation Banging heads in the backyard on the El Paso I'm a lyrical mule named Phoenix Orion I want to run away I want to know the truth I want to know the answers I want to shut the door And open up my mind
