[Sample: Barry White]

Sit and watch our lives go passing by

And remember things we did

And wonder why

[Verse 1]

It was kinda like a crazy dream happening in real life

Even when I first woke up something didn't feel right

Ice Cube, Today Was A Good Day, only the opposite

Anger in my body going past the tolerance

Where did it come from, where is it gonna go?

I didn't know, Me and Reese usually always get along

But this day was different

Everything happened too fast

All I know is when I came home

I could smell the tension in the air like an odor in despair

I was just joking but his stare it was serious

Next thing you know we throwing blows going delirious

Trying to black each other's eyes, what a surprise

Two best friends fighting

I can't even remember why

(?) that important to even let it decline

Its crazy how

The choices that you make can change your life in a single moment

Sit and watch our lives go passing by

And remember things we did

[Verse 2]

I used to like this chick named Carla

She was fine I wanted to put this dick up on her

Everyday I used to make attempts to call her

But wouldn't give me no play, she was always stalled up

Always stalling, the same day we started talking

Yeah later that night

I ended up over her house ready for laying the pipe

I tried to get her naked but she couldn't take her pants off

She was on her period and couldn't take the pad off

God dammit

Was hoping for some future planning

But we never hooked up I couldn't understand it

What did I do, what did I say

To make this chick want to go and fly another way

Another day never came for us to be together

Its like a puzzle I can't piece together

Three years later I still fiend to get her

I can't help it, I'm a sucker for a nice petite

Light skinned freak with me in between the sheets

For real

[Verse 3]

Yo yo

I remember up in Jackson State

Chilling with the God, Young Slim, and my nigga Young Vincent

And my nigga Joe Christmas used to sit up on the plaza

Looking at some dope bitches steady passing me by

Fuck it, I blew the smoke from the black to the sky

And then I saw my nigga who be having the fattest of dimes

So I grabbed two of them and headed back to the crib

So I could bless my ice house swagger magnificent

And yo we got blown for a couple of hours

So fucked up niggas was ready to throw in the towel

Then the time came to drop off Slim

I had to travel where out the bottom is

Where the coppers be tripping up off the power yo

I figured everything would be alright

I dropped my nigga off and disappeared into the night

I'm in my Kanye driving the speed limit

Glanced up in my rearview guess what I seen in it

State troopers, damn

Sit and watch our lives go passing by

And remember things we did

And wonder why
