sumthin' wicked this way comes lyrics

Remember back in da time when da only sign we had was picket
But now in '94 it be this way somethin' come wicked
Gangs killin' others fo colors, thangs that we wear fo fashion
Other brothers take it fo a reason to be blastin'
What da kcuf is goin' on, not soft like buttercups
But had enough of singin' dat same song

See I stayed across da street from da projects
Took out yo momma trash and groceries
To her trunk to keep my pockets
Fat like cellulite only been to jail one week
Fo some shullbit and I pray to God I won't repeat
I shoulda pulled it when I had da chance to

No I shouldna did dat 'cause if I did dat
Y'all would not hear dat fat shit
Dat keeps you on yo tippy
Toes like dat sellout not callin' no names, but really who's bad?
I go through obstacles like a whole box of condoms
You can't forget where you come from

Take a good look in the mirror and tell me do you like what you see
Masters of deception corruption and evil
But your always quick to point the finger at me
Won't somebody tell me?

I just don't understand the ways of the world today
Sometimes I feel like there's nothing to live for
So I'm longing for the days of yesterday

What gave you the right to misjudge me?
And write me off on the wall
Acting as if you understand me
In reality you just don't know me at all

Sometimes I can't help but wonder if this was how it's meant to be
But if you search deep enough in your soul
You'll always find a slight reminder of me
Won't somebody tell me?

I just don't understand the ways of the world today
Sometimes I feel like there's nothing to live for
So I'm longing for the days of yesterday

A-yo, if we could all agree to lettin' our souls become free
Of that sweet bitterness then whose chest would have the most seeds?
I keep misfocusin' my needs and this stress on my back
With them caps they be blastin' into my knapsack
Ain't no accidental deathtraps
My mishap is the fact that I'm destined to snap

It's when I feel as though my body's able to go
My mind is ready to flow
Did you know first you catch and then I throw? It's my own sense of time
If I'm late it's 'cause I'm endin' my day just when the sun shines
And still gently advising the arisin' of the moon
As it rolls around into my soundproof dimension

I just don't understand the ways of the world today
Sometimes I feel like there's nothing to live for
So I'm longing for the days of yesterday

I just don't understand the ways of the world today
Sometimes I feel like there's nothing to live for
So I'm longing for the days of yesterday
