Something in the Past

[Intro: Sample]

Always seems to be
Something in the past...
Always seems to be
Something in the past...
Always seems to be
Something in the past...

[Verse 1]

Pink color tint that can go with my lenses
Missing my class but I'm focused again
Question: have you been over this lesson?
Answer: I got no notes or a pen
I spend my time at my home with my friends
Spending my last couple moments to live
Everyone out there they know what we did
But if anyone asks, we invoking the fifth
Swerving, we were some kids with no purpose
Nervous, so now we been living with urgence
Working, but not put a dent in our earnings
I'd rather die broke than live as a servant
Anyone asks me to get up in class
I'll come through the spot where I entered and laugh
Tell me nobody remember my ass
But I'm feeling fine as a blip in the past

[Chorus: Sample]

Always seems to be
Something in the past...
Always seems to be
Something in the past...
Always seems to be
Something in the past...

[Verse 2]

Listen to Nas say the World is Yours
But that's not the case of it for a fourth
More than a quarter forced as chores
From a corporate board with forty floors
I can afford a Ford, but what's more important?
Get the world in order and support the poor
With your mortgage, torture, and your morals torn
And it's feels like you been working for a morgue
I don't have the time for no dumb threats
Til' that stops, we can ride to the sunset
We not surviving for one check
Our life is inspired by rhymes and some fun shit
If I'm criticized for my lack of emotion
You happen to notice, I see what you have
Just know that I never need all of that
And I'll watch you dream of things of the past

[Chorus: Sample]

Always seems to be
Something in the past...
Always seems to be
Something in the past...
Always seems to be
Something in the past...
Always seems to be
Something in the past...
