Signs
TR3 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I seen a lot of shit that could really kill a vision
If I take these drugs it prolly have me feeling different
I seen niggas give up on they dreams young
And seen a couple die before they could complete the mission
When I hear I love shit I really don't believe it
Cuz it's only love when they really think they need you
When they finally up they gon fuck around and leave you
Leave you all alone dealing with the damn grievance
Pops was in that cell, so he ain't really get to see me
It's hard being me I make it look easy
I got a warm heart, shit it just look freezy
Dealing with the karma from the days I was greasy
Been down, everything ain't right these days
Circumstances make it really hard to write these days
Expressing all your feelings, that could led to danger
So many snakes, shit, I'd rather tell a stranger
I don't think I would adjust if I was famous
Locked in my room, shit suppressing all my anger
Ain't a banger, but I gotta keep this banger
I'm from the MO it's a zoo and it's dangerous
Pussy boy you don't wanna get your star spangled
One call it's off guard get your star mangled
I won't stop til a young nigga top ranking
If you eve play my son then it's all thank you
You don't want what's in my heart because it's all anguish
You don't want what's in my heart because it's all anguish
You don't want what's in my heart because it's all anguish
You don't want what's in my heart because it's all anguish

So much lost time, wish I had a rewind
If the whole world was love we wouldn't need crime
I tried to keep my head up, but I keep crying
Too much hate up in my heart give a peace sign

I would never do the shit that you did to me
I can't name a single that you done did for me
I can name plenty things, you think you here for me
We both grown, but you really like a kid to me
Sometimes I sit, wish I was a kid again
Thought I quit drinking, I just took a sip again
Thought I was up, shit I done slipped again
When I finally get my shot I won't miss again
Ima wake up and finally be the shit again
A couple bad bitches, call them up and hit again
And a few that Ima hit for the first time
In my brother room when I wrote my first lines
Vandalizing cars, shit that was my first crime
When I heard granny died, when I first cried
And I feel ashamed hop on a verse started lying
Only speak the shit that I seen with my eyes

So much lost time wish I had could rewind
If the whole world was love we wouldn't need crime
I tried to keep my head up, but I keep crying
Too much hate up in my heart give a peace sign
So much lost time, wish I had a rewind
If the whole world was love we wouldn't need crime




I tried to keep my head up, but I keep crying
Too much hate up in my heart give a peace sign

Thanks John. I know this is an older post but just as helpful today. I moved the vacuum advance as you suggested as well as using a heat shield to protect the fuel line from the SUs. I’m getting lots of compliments on those placements and I own that to you. I think you would like what you see.

John is it possible to reshot your gearbox video sometime with this camera ?

D Jones

AWESOME !!!!

Okay, I don't get the vacuum advance on this car. Tinkering on 60/70/80s Fords for over 45 years, people mistakenly hook vacuum advance to full manifold port, which is incorrect- supposed to be hooked up to ported vacuum. So it sounds like your going to hook vacuum advance to full vacuum, making maximum distributor advance at idle, or did I misunderstand what you said?
