It was like another time
And another planet
If there was any scam to run
Man my brothers ran it
Where aAny sort of an agent
You could cut a gram with
Was In the cupboard
Stacks of money wrapped
And rubber banded
Enamored with a lifestyle
Before we'd understand it
Dreams covered in granite
Addicts becoming bandits
Static is running rampant
Stutter stammer
While I'm pissin in the gutter hammered
Piecing my broken poetry
With my cut up grammar
Fast forward to the action
With the lights and camera
The ups and downs
Hot and cold
Where the hype surround ya
You've gotten old
While this life has found ya
Forgot the bold strokes
You took with the trife around ya
The consequences of an action
Can progress together
The mastermind the faster as time
Who can catch up never
The violent balance of a desperate measure
The forgotten foe who never got out so he's obsessed forever
I can't quite place you
But I sure as hell know what you've done
Standing next to me but I can't face you
Oh legs can't move
And I can't run
Even when you do something right your wrong
Give it a few years it won't be long
Before it catches you
Woah it catches you
♪
As if I had another face
With some other features
A story half remembered
Told in cut up pieces
It goes back to Cain
Being his brothers keeper
The eternal sleep of Abel
And the blood of Jesus
Or when Brutus stuck his dagger
In the gut of Caesar
Such a long history
Of undiscovered leeches
So now it gets to me
This man got in his speakers
Jealousy inside his eyes
And mud on his sneakers
Bares a disguise
Prepares the demise of a man
Who he cares to surmise
Has ruined his life
And done him wrong with tears in his eyes
He climbs the stairs and decides
To even the score
The deeper his lies spin
He starts to believe in it more... lord
I guess the same way that we rise
Is why we fall
Here in the midst of my demise
As I recall
4 score and 7 years before
That I had made my bed
Now he put the gun to my head
And this is what he said
Even when you do something right your wrong
Give it a few years it won't be long
Before it catches you
Woah it catches you
