Last Days of Being Stepped On - Gone

[D-Shot] Mack D-Shot, brought up by the middle class I did time for crime cuz I was living ass I spent two on the lockdown in Preston To hire me is way out the question Jail cells for a black man's punishment Didn't give a damn cuz the other man's runnin it Now I'm back on the streets, I gotta compete so But you can't beat no case When you're trapped in the system The government, want you to diss them Now I'm back on the bed, where I once slept on I'm tired of being stepped on [B-Legit] I ain't prejudiced, I gots nathan on the white man I'm only down for my folks who is right and So what's wrong with potnah with the gat on the job He wanna squab cuz it seems I'm the mob Pull you over, then he searchin your whole car Fo' deep and you gotta be the rock star "So where's the crack main? So where's the gats main? You know you brothers, you call it a black thang" I'm not in your hood, up to no-good-ism So won't you go on with all the old racism Unless you want me to take, the law in my own hands Cuz dude, I'm a strong man And that's a black man, tired of being stepped on In the late night, always get crept on By some authority who needs to really be fired Cuz Legit is straight tired [E-40] Play Bay, back of hill and up there by Real Twenty-two months of eatin that stuff on a shingle Ninety days left, I'm almost out of jail On a mission about my meal, to the hillside of Vallel There I will sell, rocks so slick Build up clientele, and hit the task hill No other choice, I'm on parole I got a felony I look for a job, but then they diss me, diss me Man, my mother is disabled I ain't got no food on the table All I can afford is noodles with the generic label This goes on for about a week and a half I need to think fast, I need some cash let me water my grass And make it greener, then I started think of all types of Gimmicks and gadgets, as I looked through the cabinets Man, what should I do my friend, hop in the game again? I guess I'm headed for the pen

It's kinda funny, I stepped on a bee The morning I heard you were leaving The worst sting was you didn't call Had to hear from what others were saying Had no warning, but deep down, I knew It was heading straight towards me No point running away from what would Eventually catch up with us Growing up and growing out Of lovers and places and friends But staying stuck when you've had enough Is something I won't do again So go on your way, I won't try to stop you I wish you would stay, but there's nothing I can do We're all the clichés I swore would never come true But they all do They all do They all do It was sunny the day it all stopped Kinda funny, the forget-me-nots Staring at me while you forgot About all the promises we made When you're living out all of the dreams We were planning, I hope you're happy I imagine you flying high in fancy jets And I can't help but wonder if you have regrets Growing up and growing out Of lovers and places and friends But staying stuck when you've had enough Is something I won't do again So go on your way, I won't try to stop you Wish you would stay, there's nothing I can do We're all the clichés I swore would never come true So go on your way after all that we've been through You just walk away like there's nothing left to lose We're all the clichés I swore would never come true But they all do They all do They all do I should've known, I should've seen This would always be bittersweet (They all do) I should've known, I should've seen This would always be bittersweet So go on your way, I won't try to stop you Wish you would stay, there's nothing I can do We're all the clichés I swore would never come true But they all do Go on your way after all that we've been through You just walk away like there's nothing left to lose We're all the clichés I swore would never come true But they all do Go on your way after all that we've been through You just walk away like there's nothing left to lose We're all the clichés I swore would never come true But they all do

Tired of this elegant life With the best will in the world It's a thorn in your side Dazed, not a little confused Let the patient do the work They got nothing to lose I told you I'd hold you 'Til the last days on earth Ties that are tested and tried Like the crushing of the waves We'll be lost in the tide Talk away the pain for the very last time Like an echo in a cave Let it die in your mind I told you I'd hold you 'Til the last days on earth If you should fall into these opened arms You would be blessed not just bemused Wake up their mind love is alonely world Where nothing on earth lies like a truth Ties that are tested and tried Like the crushing of the waves We'll be lost in the tide Talk away the pain for the very last time Like an echo in a cave Let it die in our mind I told you I'd hold you 'Til the last days on earth I told you I'd hold you
