lyrics

WE BELONG

VERSE ONE:
I never spend money on nothin
More concerned with balances, than stuntin
Been feelin com-for-table in my skin, finally
Soul versus ego, timeless rivalry
After all, I’m a man with swag n pep
Let the kick drum grab your neck
I’m in a pivotal transition, man listen
Not a guru, not a spring chicken
Wonderful kids, wonderful wife
Easin into the rest of my life

HOOK:
WE BELONG
Been downtrodden
How long till we’re forgotten?
WE BELONG
I’d pay no limit to be real for a minute
WE BELONG
Where were you?
WE BELONG
Come one and all, cuz we belong

VERSE TWO:
I’m energized, up & at sumpin’
One part paranoid, other half hustlin’
Been feelin re-mark-able upstairs, finally
Hall fulla doors, but your boy couldn’t find a key
Before all, I’m a dad & spouse
I’m long thru playin cat & mouse
In a critical transition, man listen
Need someone to talk to, but mind your damn business
Feelin’ down, probably a phase
A veteran, so I count the days

HOOK:
WE BELONG
Been downtrodden
How long till we’re forgotten?
WE BELONG
I’d pay no limit to be real for a minute
WE BELONG
Where were you?
WE BELONG
Come one and all, we belong

BRIDGE:
Did I pass the test, this time?
Spot checks in the pourin rain
Lookin over both shoulders tho
My adversary’s starin’ from a window pane
Keep a list of all my faults
Certified for change
Bad mouthed into bein’ my best
Full clip brain-bullet train

VERSE THREE:
There’s no progress in fluffin’
Give it to me straight, don’t mistake the becoming
Feel awkward in my own skin, c’est la vie
Closest amigos fumble what to say to me
At the end, I’m a man with pride & doubt
Grab words as they leave my mouth
My seminal ambition’s gone fishin’
Should work harder than I’m hopin and wishin’
Thus undertow in the middle of the night,
Not waving, but drowning-right?

HOOK:
WE BELONG
Been downtrodden
How long till we’re forgotten?
WE BELONG
I’d pay no limit to be real for a minute
WE BELONG
Where were you?
WE BELONG
Come one and all, cuz we belong
