Thoughts
Nineties Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
People bending over board and bending over backwards
No class no morals, they got you living backwards
Music and movies shape us to be actors, the fact is
You gotta get up on your practice
Keep the body active
Do it with a passion
That's a triple threat like a hat trick
Uncomfortable, no pillow no mattress
Hard body hard head I don't need a bandage
Let the blood drip watch the wounds heal magic
I know god got me that's the way that I manage
So for the most part you might see me being passive
Well I dress unattractive, Making moves massive hard work beats talent
Y'all know what it is, or do I gotta spell it
D R E W got the Hustle
Treat it like a sport go hard like Russell
WEST BROOK, Everything I do is fucking textbook
Short attention spans gotta know how to network
LETS WORK
You have not seen my best work
Set the foundation, children are the future
Leave a trail don't follow one
Today's the day that your life begun
Foreal
See the way the wind blow
Rolling down my window
Riding with my Kinfoke
Family first like the Winslow's
Motha fucka
I'm bout to let it all go
The shit that I can't control
I just keep it simple
Tell me what the fuck you here for
Here for
We living in a world where they two face
Make you wanna runaway with no suitcase
How do you even know how the food taste
If you ain't never tried it, that's why we all divided
I coincide with the things that keep me delighted
You know the feeling so don't fight it
I just live it then I write it
I don't get too excited
And you I know I got the mightiest
TOUCH
And I'm only working with the finest
BUNCH
Every move I make I have a
HUNCH
I'm learning with a better mind, keep in mind
Don't tell me how to cope with mine
I write rhymes, imagine me writing checks
Yea she a dime, but she ain't got no sense left
I work around the clock
I take the hands of time
I tie em up in knots
I make the hours cry
Every minute every second
Everyday another blessing
And it's hard to pay attention
I be curving bitches like a crescent
MOON
I'm making room, everywhere that I go
I make a tune, every time that I flow
I'm letting go there you go that's your window
Of opportunity
I'll never let it ruin me
She be like damn drew, what you do to me
I role my windows down and I hit the highway
395 And I do it my way
This that food for thought, and I'm on a diet
See the way the wind blow
Rolling down my window
Riding with my Kinfoke
Family first like the Winslow's
Motha fucka
I'm bout to let it all go
The shit that I can't control
I just keep it simple
Tell me what the fuck you here for

Xavier Definitely a connection with not thinking you know best. Accepting that you aren't certain and could be wrong, not thinking you're intellectually (or morally, socially, whatever) superior. Not enough people like that.
