[00:16.379] I met a man playin' in the woods
[00:19.880] His piano was off-key
[00:23.095] He sang to me softly
[00:26.477] I bet he wouldn't change it if he could
[00:29.831] Gunshots ringin' in my hood
[00:32.997] It sounds so off-beat
[00:36.244] I'm prayin' they don't off me
[00:39.487] I promise I'd change it if I could
[00:43.348] Oh, why? (Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why?)
[00:47.571] Oh, why? (Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why?)
[00:50.611] Oh, why? (Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why?)
[00:56.181] Oh, why? (Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why?)
[01:00.561] Oh, why? (Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why?)
[01:04.089] Oh, why? (Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why?)
[01:08.297] I retreat to the trees, surrounded by green, but I need
[01:11.709] Need more for my kin and more for my team (Oh shit)
[01:14.714] Dance to a different type beat, off kilted rhythm
[01:18.570] Took the traces of my feet, but I need more
[01:22.431] Before I dip out of the scene
[01:24.271] For my niggas, for my queens, for the babies, for my rounds
[01:27.389] For my sisters missin' crowns, homies victims to apathy, like
[01:31.069] Honey drippin' off the table in front of me, ah
[01:34.145] They say, "Go," but my heart still fights for the seed
[01:37.662] They buy shows, but my soul shouldn't back the deed
[01:40.320] Oh, why? Oh, why? Why, why, why?
[01:46.915] So, you get rich, I'ma try to get free, but
[01:51.109] Not exclusive, mutually, but
[01:53.688] Oh, I, oh, I gotta find the balance between
[02:03.282] Some say, "Life is just a Hell
[02:09.231] And it's here we wait until we dwell truly, truly, truly free"
[02:23.971] Some say, "Projects and ghettos and seeds that will never grow
[02:31.395] All berries to see"
[02:39.764] I'll stay with you through the night and in the darkest times
[02:47.401] We'll fight through it all until we reach that dawn
[02:54.213] I dream of a world where love is the rule
[02:59.524] Where hearts walk two by two
[03:02.869] And I with you
[03:05.590] I dream of a place where a child's wish can always come true
[03:13.038] And the old and withered become renewed
[03:20.141] I met a man playin' in the woods
[03:24.002] His piano was off-key
[03:27.188] He sang to me softly
[03:30.526] I bet he wouldn't change it if he could
[03:33.912] Gunshots ringin' in my hood
[03:37.075] It sounds so off-beat
[03:40.303] I'm prayin' they don't off me
[03:43.659] I promise I'd change it if I could
[03:48.360] Oh, why? (Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why?)
[03:51.696] Oh, why? (Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why?)
[03:54.717] Oh, why? (Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why?)
[04:00.479] Oh, why? (Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why?)
[04:04.508] Oh, why? (Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why?)
[04:08.167] Oh, why? (Oh, why? Oh, why? Oh, why?)
[04:11.589] I can see the ripple, I can see the changes, oh, my
[04:15.134] I can feel the reaper, I can hear the angels, oh, I
[04:18.400] Cross my heart for safety, hope I stay alive, oh, Lord
[04:21.690] They always go too crazy, it's really peace of mind, good God
[04:24.837] All my life, I had to fight, all my life, passin' by
[04:28.161] All my life, I had to write, all my life, I had to die
[04:31.523] All I had to sacrifice, blood, sweat, and tears pays the price
[04:34.816] Start to think the better day's tomorrow, keep my spirits high up
[04:37.737] When it rains, it pours, my ceiling go up
[04:39.301] Then it turn in my floor, then the gang show love
[04:40.942] Then count my blessings, my praise goes up
[04:42.518] Big dawg, my nigga since day one
[04:44.322] When the Sun go down, when the lights go up
[04:45.852] Still ten toes down, I'ma keep mine tucked
[04:47.444] I'ma bang my buck, I'ma play my hand
[04:49.036] Then I ain't gon' change 'til I free my lands
[04:50.703] I'ma use my hands, I'ma play my songs
[04:52.457] I'ma play mine right 'til I prove my dance
[04:54.092] And the key to my life, I'ma sing my wrongs
[04:55.679] I'ma be that light, I'ma clap my hands
[04:57.378] I'ma smoke my weed, see my bands
[04:59.085] And I lead by faith, and I play my jam
[05:00.547] And you might think I'm out of tune
[05:02.299] But it ain't got shit to do you with you, oh my, God
[05:06.543] Your freedom is beyond anyone outside of yourself's controllin'
[05:10.437] It can't be bought and sold, given away, or even stolen
[05:14.752] It's a divine entitlement, vital to the nourishment of the soul
[05:19.006] Encouragin' spiritual growth to channel the ethereal flow of creation's river across the cosmos
[05:25.429] This blessed osmosis, triggerin' consciousness to focus
[05:29.108] And the paradigm ascension, transcendin' beyond all space and time dimensions
[05:33.876] Not to mention my pinch off from an addiction
[05:36.640] Been addicted minds, been consistent in my grind
[05:39.776] Of usin' every pen and pencil I can find
[05:42.824] To elevate the state of decline
[05:44.747] That's draggin' my people down so deep that the climb could never be done in a single lifetime
[05:49.164] So I write life's lines, correction, my lines write life
[05:54.237] Correction, my life lines right up
[05:56.301] When serving' my purpose to write and recite what touches
[05:59.747] And sights ignite that unites us
[06:02.188] So we can finally stop runnin', from freedom
[06:05.975] Yeah
