lyrics

Run Go tell Momma
Her Favorite Son no come home no longer
Alas he has summons his thunder
Don't worry don't lose no slumber
Ya baby boy done come up stronger

Lost in the books and the halls and the classes
My youts still seek they Rites of Passage
I turn my eye to they Heavenly Passage
How can I be Christ when I'm tied to campus
Age 10 he was gone with the wind
Seeking all types a teachers all of Earth's creatures
Meanwhile I'm bein spoon fed by some chick recycling some ish she read
Should you blame the shephard when the sheep are misled
Or simply deflock yourself and watch yourself
I payed my dues played along with these fools
From Cairo to London all the way to Santa Cruz
Before a brotha find himself sometimes I had to lose
Whether tokin on the Ganj drownin sorrows in the booze
It's Amazing that I done so well
So my youts Run go tell ~ I say Run go tell

Every quest demands a lil challenge
Even hometown heroes gotta leave they parents
I been back and forth seeking balance
Knowin I been blessed with a wealth of talents
Jesus ~ Moses ~ Buddha knows this
New day same block brings forth hypnosis
You may be not the force you hoped-ed
Cool J ~ Sweet shot but not the coaches
That's why I'm leavin this town
Weavin the sound ~ Seekin definition on unbelievable ground
Thought I was royal til they peed on my crown
See I was biggin up myself while they was beatin me down
But yo ~ What don't kill me will make me stronger
Gotta go now Mom I'm not getting younger
No man on Earth shall take me under
I'll be OK Momma don't you wonder

Til we meet again ~ I'm a keep the pen
In my hand and write some things to send
I know you you gonna read it again and again
While you wipin the tears wit ya hand
But don't you worry bout a thing
You know the vibes that I fling
And the way I magnetize what I bring
I'm not just gone til November I might be back in the Spring
I might be out there in the tropics somewhere laughin wit Kings
Catch me in the Congo ~ Freakin the Bongos
Dancin round the fire with nothing but fine models
Don't tell Momma but we'll prolly have some bottles
Cause life's not always deep sometimes it's shallow
But in the meantime ~ I'm done with this dream I'm
Ready to deal with the real ~ Wanna be signed
Wish I could tell you otherwise ~ But I'd be lyin
But let me hop on my way with a Peace Sign
