lyrics

Verse 1

Keepin' my head above water, makin' a way when I
last a day & celebrate a minute past midnight/
brace yourself, no orthodontist
tomorrow's not promised
that line 'bout as shockin' as the Amish/
don't hold it against me, I go where the beat leads
& try to stay between where the kick & the snare greets/
it gives direction, the over tones full of grief
sounds like hard work on it's way to eternal sleep/
I mean, the last few albums was wrote in the recession
& it became a part of life in the reflection/
& in essence
here it is at the end of my pen again yo how refreshin'/

Chorus:

It seems we can't stop the happenin' now
what's happenin' now
what was happenin' then
will be happenin' again
X2

Verse 2

The crime wave in the D, probably poverty obviously
media said worse in the country/
elect politicians, with bad intentions
don't say enough about the city that we love to mention/
& uphold we look for hope in sports teams
to redeem some of it's gleam
music scene car seen with a shine sheen/
from the big 3
wanting a smooth ride but there's holes in the streets/
and they match the holes in my jeans
under work under paid seems to be a re-occurring theme/
that buck that bought the bottle coulda struck
got me more drunk quicker takin' bigger swollow/
I say the sky is colorless, they say it's grey
50 shades then it fades to black haze/-

Chorus:

It seems we can't stop the happenin' now
what's happenin' now
what was happenin' then
will be happenin' again
X2
