[Verse 1]
Deep in your mind is where I am, soulseek and you'll find
I smoke ? as I climb and let the streets intertwine
With the beats I rewind no sleep I can find
I pause examine walls that I'm eager to climb
All you seeing is crime, hella high water rise
You'll drown homeboy, you can't compete with the tide
You can't see it like it's sleep in your eyes
How ? despise, I make clay out of the feeblest minds
I wonder how evil could thrive
I wonder how in these last days all my people survive
Reef is alive screaming from the hilltops
I'm from Hilltop and you can still box for lock like a skill boxer
Keep the mills hot, sometimes you have to spill pots
I wonder does that make me a thief, I will not
Allow them to take up my s***e
I wonder how many rappers would die without Myspace
[Chorus]
(I wonder) my mind gets to roaming and my mouth gets to opening
(I wonder) when the madness gonna stop out here
It's getting wild out here, they licking shots out here
Crooked cops set us up, get knocked out here
When my mind gets to roaming, my mouth gets to opening
(I wonder) when the madness gonna stop out here
It's getting wild out here, they licking shots out here
No education, ain't no jobs out here
[Verse 2]
Hey yo I wonder why we're still overseas
Is it cause we care about Iraqis? Is it oil and greed?
I wonder what they do with our cheese
They raise money for research but never cure no disease
I wonder why they're f****** with me for puffing my trees
But drunks still get trashed and handed their keys
In the ignition, listen this mean something to me
So I wonder what make a rapper claim he's not an MC
See I write for dead homies and my brothers in streets
My peoples, my mother, and my baby mother-to-be
So no I don't respect a n**** who spit nothing but keys
I wonder if these kids know it ain't just hustling schemes
Sell c**e? We need to be discussing their dreams
Young boys set to suffer cause I'm f****** with D
I looked him dead in his face so our eyes could meet
And asked him what he really want his life to be, he said
[Chorus]
(I wonder) my mind gets to roaming and my mouth gets to opening
(I wonder) when the madness gonna stop out here
It's getting wild out here, they licking shots out here
Crooked cops set us up, get knocked out here
When my mind gets to roaming, my mouth gets to opening
(I wonder) when the madness gonna stop out here
It's getting wild out here, they licking shots out here
No education, ain't no jobs out here
[Verse 3]
Is this all about ice and gems?
I wonder where does your soul go when your life should end
Do you come back as a Maybach? Maybe a Rolls-Royce
I wonder how many kids I'd have if not for pro-choice
I had no voice until the beat came
I wonder how many black men in America these streets claimed
Enough to fill the NFL with like three teams
Wonder why they glamorize the s*** when they should seek change
I wonder what my friend's mom felt
When she had to identify his body and could not tell
If that was him or not cause they filled his top with a million shots
Fake thug n**** dog this is the block
I wonder what happened to this music of hip and hop
That was fizzle pop so don't wonder when your s*** just flop
I wonder why you go to jail unless you is a cop
I wonder who killed Malcolm and Martin as much as Big and Pac
[Chorus]
When my mind gets to roaming and my mouth gets to opening
(I wonder) when the madness gonna stop out here
It's getting wild out here, they licking shots out here
Crooked cops set us up, get knocked out here
When my mind gets to roaming, my mouth gets to opening
(I wonder) when the madness gonna stop out here
It's getting wild out here, they licking shots out here
No education, ain't no jobs out here
Deep in your mind is where I am, soulseek and you'll find
I smoke ? as I climb and let the streets intertwine
