Coulda Woula Shoulda

(album: Pardon My Lateness - 2014)

[Tobe Nwigwe:]
I hate the coulda woulda shoulda that live life in hindsight
Who stay getting left 'cause they ain't got they minds right
Every star under the moon ain't destined to shine bright
And you'll get found in dark places when you chase that limelight
I rhyme tight 'cause my flow cold as a Klondike
Don like a king, I just need a queen, prom night
Gone quite, oops, mean quite gone
Are my partners with them choppas
You would swear they was goons from Opa-Locka
But they're not, they got misplaced anger
'Cause the father species in the hood is endangered
So mama play daddy 'cause daddy played mama
With no man you can't withstand the call of marijuana
So he puff puff until he reach the sky
And he discuss trust with a world that tells him lies
He's taught to thrust, lust at every queen that walk by
They yelling bust bust, then he opens up his eyes
He dreaming

[Shawn Flowers:]
I'm drowning in possibilities
I think we're all addicted, stuck in our daydreams
Come on, baby, please don't let me die
A dream outside your mind just won't survive
Water fills the wells inside my eyes
They say struggle makes a butterfly

[Tobe Nwigwe:]
Souls need redeeming
Hard to be a saint in a world dominated by demons
No time to be a collegian, they busy triple beaming
THem diamonds gleaming, got boppers feening for seamen
I swear, it feels like people wide awake, unconscious
Her dress real tight, but her brain is unresponsive
I spit real tight if you allergic to nonsense
Not to Israelites who be free, but still in bondage
(Drowning) I just keep it moving
Not a simp-son, but these yella bones be choosing
My playa partners be tryna smash 'em, I try to school 'em
Silly queen, thirst is for tricks, stop that screwing
Around, on yo' head belongs a crown
Can't never find a man 'cause you always looking in the pound
End up with a stray, he beat you 'till both yo' eyes black and brown
Now you literally can't see the love you thought was so profound
You drown (Drowning), in a deep sea, you can't condone
Look to the sky, call for help, no connection, just a dial tone
You repent, then redial, he can see that you've really grown
It sucks to become abreast in a world full of silicone
It sucks to become abreast in a world full of silicone
It sucks to become abreast in a world full of silicone

I'm drowning in possibilities

Come on, baby, please don't let me die
A dream outside your mind just won't survive
Water fills the wells inside my eyes

[Tobe Nwigwe:]
Unknown
The vain chains wrapped around your brain, can't explain
The main thang that made you hydroplane out yo' lane
Sustained sprains, but never did complain
But a person drowning really ain't too concerned with the rain
I blame everybody, the major and minuscule
From those that graduated to those who ain't finish school
If you living then find out yo' purpose and make it do what it do
Still, "coulda woulda shoulda" the last words of a fool

I'm drowning in possibilities
I think we're all addicted, stuck in our daydreams
I'm drowning in possibilities
I think we're all addicted, stuck in our daydreams
Stuck in our daydreams, we're stuck in our daydreams
I think we're all addicted, stuck in our daydreams
