Doorway

(album: Treddin' On Thin Ice - 2004)

If you can't see wipe your eyes and look straight forward [x4]

What you want money or happiness?
Me I'm liable to go for the money
Going for the money could lead to lead to disaster
I'm a rudeboy I spend money much faster
I'm not stupid, no I'm a saver, when I was young I used to be a raver
Now I entertain the ravers plus I gotta pave the way for the youngers
I gotta break them barriers you cant hold me back I want my people to see the system is a disease and we are the carriers killing each other because of heroin crack cocaine and money
We have gotta break these barriers fast they class ain't worth this hassle
Look into the future everybody look into the future and me lets forget the past
And look for the doorway

If you can't see wipe your eyes and look straight forward
Cant you see that we are blind to ourselves?
Try to understand life before you pull the trigger and take another life
I think life's worth more than drugs and money

You didn't think you would see me getting somewhere in life I'm sitting up here in life
No amount of money is worth more than happiness I can tell you that believe me
I got pain that's never gonna go away this pain is here to stay with me
Still I'm on the path to success take a little bit of rough with the smooth its alright
Life is like a bed round riot I'm trying to learn about life it's hard
I'm hurting inside I'm burning inside but one good thing I'm determined inside
Part of my heart is working inside because if I can be loved then I can love back
Part of my unhappiness is that because I don't roll around family and that I'm on my own

If you can't see wipe your eyes and look straight forward
Cant you see that we are blind to ourselves? change your ways
Try to understand life before you pull the trigger and take another life
I think life's worth more than drugs and money

It looks all good from the outside crepes and claws and bites and sleepless nights and pointless fights in the manor everybody wanna be the top boy in the manor
Hanging on the streets with skanks or blazing on the stairs I'm not having it either blood
Nobody's having it that's gonna lead to a pool of blood with mounds of your blood
The streets are cold you wont wanna be around when the stray bullets fly around
I just wanna hustle my town and cover my ground go to my yard and lie down
No we don't wanna be tied down I've tried that so I gotta move on your life and move past that
I'm in a class of my own I got status come on wiley you can do this I gotta get through this
Concentrate and focus I can see clearly through my lenses I'm a reason
So you should start to take note cuz you might learn a little something I'm like you
One day I was broken then I got money then I went broken then I got money then I went broke
It's a usual cycle that's why people can't cope. you stay there laugh and joke til one day it's not a laugh or a joke confusion hits your head you can't see you turn to other things you're angry inside you can't be weak to overcome the system we are in you've got to be powerful
Don't underestimate people I can show you now I've proved to myself I can do it boy.
