Forever Dreamin'
(专辑: The Greatest Story Never Told Chapter 2: Bread And Circuses - 2012)
[Intro: Saigon] Yo, I
remember Xtra P
told Q-Tip don't say the
year But I'ma say the
year (ohhhhh) The
year is 2012 And the
reason I'ma say the
year cause we lost somebody very special to me Very special to hip-hop, Chris Lighty We love you forever man, c'mon [Chorus: Tony Collins] Ohh, where I'm from it goes down every day Ohh, but still I
dream that there's a
better way Lord, e'rybody got a
problem, make a
couple dollars Gotta spend that on a
bottle, yeah Ohh, so you can drown all your troubles away Ohh, or you can be what you're destined to be As long as I'm breathin I'ma keep on livin for the
dream I
believe in Forever dreamin [Saigon] Uh-huh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh Whether crack wars or rap tours, we walkin them dogs with the
track jaws Attack frauds, get tossed in the
morgue when I
blast off Past forward, my criminal task force Last cat and wish him and my path cross it's bat-tle[?] Talkin bad off, I
mean really really bad off Let's just say next time you see him you gon' take your hat off Look America, it's Saigon from the
Abandoned I'm probabaly one of Harriet Tubman's great-great-great-great-grandkids What the
fuck I
care about John Paul or Sir Francis? That's two original men as they dances around the
answers If we a
micro in the
macro of crackers, the
Earth cancers is willin to go against nature and suffer the
circumstances I
got the
intel of a
nigga that studies stem cells Shit'll get ugly in Hell, it's no way it can end well Police got a
nigga barred from my own hood Sometimes I
think I'm too smart for my own good [Chorus] [Saigon] Uh, it's real I
got a
migraine, head throbbin, feelin pain Present outlook on life, is that there's nothin else to gain The
old-timers scold the
gold miners, see I
suppose He tellin all he knows once the
wild Irish rose Flows form in my brain, heavy verses purgatory in vain Three on the
rock, three on parole, it's insane While workers is gettin greedier and greedier Caught my partner Black in his back, now he suffer from paraplegia Nothin gettin easier, cousin playin the
game of crime I
aim the
9, emphasizin, see my frame of mind Sniffin cocaine, I
got a
rhyme for every grain Tryin to maintain, simply tryin to stay in my lane See money comes money goes like a
runny nose But when you blow it, goin to your honeys and foes I
never thought I
could be happier in bummier clothes Well looky here yo, what do ya know? [Chorus] [Saigon] I
got a
daughter in California I
hardly see Even 3,000 miles away she's a
part of me For her I'll spill every bit of blood in my arteries I'll kill a
nigga, whether he thug or he R&B And to Milan, I'm tryin to strengthen the
bond with your moms Even when she buggin, I
keep calm Even if I
needed niggaz to write for me They couldn't cause they wouldn't believe in my life story Uh-uh [Chorus] [Outro: Saigon] Beautiful music! I'd like to say somethin real quick I
wanna say rest in peace, to one of my close friends My former manager, Chris Lighty Did a
lot for the
sport, a
lot for the
game; I
salute you Y'know God always takes the
ones he wants close to him You know? We love you forever Hip-Hop love you forever Saigon, Canei, swervin
