Pollution

Baby Bash · Tha Smokin' Nephew [2003]

[Chorus]

Sometimes I wanna get away from all the confusion

Causin' pollution

I know you wish you could run away, from this institution

Cause there's no solution, to survive



Another day when I'm waking up

I turn my TV on CNN

Another homie done bit the dust, my best friend's back up in the pen

Somebody hit the twin towers, my boy

And the buildings came tumbling down

All we could do was watch in tears

While the people of America wondered how we let it go down

Then, I heard a sound when I turned around

This old man said pray for me (what'd he say?)

Said I've been in the world for 88 long years

And go now can you stay for me? (& what u do?)

I looked him in the eyes, and gave him a smile

And said mister I don't mean no harm

But you ain't going nowhere, so just pull up a chair

I got greens fresh off the farm (then what happen?)

And with that he pulled a bottle from his pocket

And said youngin' ima give it a try (give it a try boy)

I said hold up pops, I ain't forget about the knowledge

That you promised so pass it by and then he said...



[Chorus]



From dusk to dawn, mom's always tellin me you must move on

Let the past be the last thing to dust you son

And I trust you mom

But the dozen ain't my lust for fun, wanna bust my gun

Wasn't much to some, then you measured up to most

Started walking down the road to the treasure up the coast

You just never f***ing know what you gonna see

Where ya gonna be, who you gonna meet

It's true you gonna sleepin, slip into silence

Shot guns firein', choppers and sirens

Spotlight shinin, flashin on the glance

At a boy without a chance and the Devil on his ass



I be sayin though, livin my life... wishin' and hopin

I be sayin though, chasin the dreams...

I be sayin though same thing that will make you laugh will make you cry

That's how we know man, why ask why



I be sayin though taken away from the frustration

I be sayin though teach me to use my imagination

I be sayin though same thing that will make you laugh will make you cry

That's how we know man, why ask why
