Graceland - E-dubble, E-Dubble feat. Elissa Janelle Velveteen

I’ve been down, for so long

But so long to that me

I’ve been gone, I’ve been wrong

But I’m gonna succeed

I’m aware, now I care about my surroundings

There’s bigger things happening

Now I’m not sleeping on my dreams

I’m not sleeping on my dreams

I’m not sleeping on my dreams

'82, I was born, given life

'92, I was ten, living life

'93, shit done change;

I saw light

When that real rap played my brain get all hyped

So I’m two steppin', yeah

I’m up in the place and every crew repping

But they got love for the Pais, (BP!)

And I ain’t even stepping on stage

I don’t mean to dissuade

I just came to get blazed

In any case, you know that I be bloggin' (bloggin')

And I ain’t even typed one word

Man, that shit don’t rhyme

And that shit’s absurd

Still got that head nod shit that will shake your nerves

And I go!

I’ve been down, for so long

But so long to that me

I’ve been gone, I’ve been wrong

But I’m gonna succeed

I’m aware, now I care about my surroundings

There’s bigger things happening

Now I’m not sleeping on my dreams

I’m not sleeping on my dreams

I’m not sleeping on my dreams

I turned your water to wine

Turned your wine into water

It’s impressive, get the message, that’s some shit they ain’t taught us

That’s the shit they ain’t teaching

How to argue with reason

How to live up to big dreams and never deceive 'em

I got my girl in the front, got my dog in the back

They stuntin' all over like they ain’t part of the pack

We always keep calm, we like when its cool

I do, I take a different path when my ass outta school

I got that 1−2-3−4, arrogant tool

And when it goes off it blows off the ignorant fools

I ain’t talking about the second amendment

We can bend it and stretch it, but either way I got my mind as a weapon

I can promise I don’t threaten to beckon

Never asking for seconds unless we all ate, pray for digestion

Hope that we can leave an impression

Hope that we can dodge the dogmatic and take heed of the blessings

And I’m gone

I’ve been down, for so long

But so long to that me

I’ve been gone, I’ve been wrong

But I’m gonna succeed

I’m aware, now I care about my surroundings

There’s bigger things happening

Now I’m not sleeping on my dreams

I’m not sleeping on my dreams

I’m not sleeping on my dreams
