The P.A.S.E.O (The Poem Aaron Saw Extra Ordinary)

[Intro]
If I ever go away...
If I ever go... if I ever go... if I ever go...
If I ever go away...
I want everybody that loves me to be...

[Chorus]
Ridin' Paseo, not in the day though
Cherish the day, but then roll out when the day go
Ridin' away your pain and sorrow
Live for today cause you might not see tomorrow

[Verse 1]
Roguish are red and violets are blue
And we all get purple rain when you put together the 2
True, lets talk about this street I know
Meta meta yo is needed when it's time for me to go
I spent my whole life on this KC street
The PASEO where the real stay and the fake sees heat
Gangstas lay low, get the queso and everyday breathe deep
But when the day goes all the broads out cause the baby's sleep
On Paseo I reminisce if they love me then give `em this
Never know when to go `cause this life is so hit and miss
Cry for me? Never just have a ball wit' each other
`Cause that's what I had thanks goes out to my father and mother
And I love you, so mama, if I ever happen to go, mama
I think there's something you should know, mama
I stayed away `cause I was tryin' to become something
Give a house to that one woman
The reason everyone's bumpin'

[Chorus]
Ridin' Paseo, not in the day though
Cherish the day, but then roll out when the day go
Ridin' away your pain and sorrow
Live for today cause you might not see tomorrow

[Verse 2]
Let's take a journey startin' at 85th, wrote some of my latest hits
Off '85th came back from Cali then I stayed with Krizz
Off '76th my first baby was conceived
Off '75th was with slow mo in conditions you wouldn't believe
74th and Paseo on the corner, slept with the AK
For my homie Scoob anybody came through that door was a gonner
64th I ate balogna and kicked it with mak and sonya
In French Village I sold dope for my folks in a place with a crack aroma
63rd street is the landin' of Bishop Hogan
Demandin' y'all just keep rollin' expandin' on bishop strollin'
Mastered music on 61st if I didn't use it I would spit the verse
This is how how you find me if demons happen to hit me first
Right on 58th I lived from 12 to 17 with
Basima kechramin, marty, hassan and hakim
57th and 56th I had a ball I learned some tricks I learned some schemes
From my homeboys, y'all know who I mean
RDVs 55th paul's liquor try and talk slick if you crazy
Results in getting stomped by doc and stu-baby
Keep ridin' paseo for me if you rollin' solo tonight
Just keep on thinkin' marco polo for life when you're

[Chorus]
Ridin' Paseo, not in the day though
Cherish the day, but then roll out when the day go
Ridin' away your pain and sorrow
Live for today cause you might not see tomorrow

[Verse 3]
What's the paseo, hah, 49th street
On 47th is gates and sons where Tech N9ne eats
39th at the bootleg I used to find peace
But at the scottish right on lynnwood masons at times meet
I used to kick it on 27th and 28th Troost Lake
Careful... you might find yourself off in that piece if you hate
19th was my family's church they tried to save me too late
`Cause doin shows on 18th and vine that was my true fate
Mary Lou Williams was my aunt, 9th where I was raised
Wayne Minor way back in the day they used to fight no one was framed
But now on independence ave I hear my son donnie
Sayin' that he hear gunshots every night
On 5th and it scares his momma ronnie
End of the road 29 north to the bridge
If I go im leavin' everything to my wife and my kids
Travis if I go whatever my half is you give her
And no funeral just throw my ashes in the Missouri River
Love

[Chorus]
Ridin' Paseo, not in the day though
Cherish the day, but then roll out when the day go
Ridin' away your pain and sorrow
Live for today cause you might not see tomorrow
