The Badness

Yeah Keep followin' me Keep callin' me Yeah Yeah Yeah, ayy Believe in God like the sun up in the sky Science can tell us how (but), it can't tell us why I seen a baby cry then seconds later, she laughs The beauty of life, the pain never lasts The rain always pass, the sun don't always shine (yeah) When it's gone, I'm lonely, but when it's there, I'm fine I hate the wintertime because the nights come quicker The light make them whites think I'm a nice young nigga But at night, they think twice and walk a little faster It's funny, hundred years ago, I'd have called this nigga Master How the tables turn, but still the fire burnin', uh I feel the heat, the world is a dryer turnin', turnin' I'm lookin' for some higher learnin', learnin' Girl, you what I desire, yearnin', yearnin' You say I'm easily distracted I think the problem is I'm easily attracted By the dark side, the temptation got me questionin' where my heart lies I'm tryna separate myself like apartheid, but ayy, the liquor keep swallowin' I swear I walk with God, but the Devil keep followin', followin' I say the Devil keep followin', followin' I say the Devil keep followin', followin' I say the Devil keep followin' Uh Feel like I'm ridin' on a chartered plane of broken-hearted pain Turbulence is constant, my pilot has gone insane If I can find a parachute to parasail Maybe these parasites of paranoia won't prevail Character dope as hell But where is my parallel sweetheart? Deep thoughts Lost in my brain, so I sleep hard nights with no progress Mane, I'm thinkin' like I'll probably find a Loch Ness In the projects before I find this Object of my love, this object of my heart Guitar strings is strum in search of my counterpart Bound to start drinkin' and smokin', sink in this ocean Leapin' through the badness, hopin' I'm reachin' for closeness Feel like the Devil keep followin' me Feel like the Devil keep followin' me Uh
