Big shots to Metric System, holdin' it down...
I'm feelin' common when he said he used to love her
I used to skip class just to kiss and hug her
And this is way before I knew about Kool Herc
And when I first started puttin' off my school work
I only cared about her whereabouts and what she did
How she walked, what she thought about and where she lived
She took the time for me made my mind up - so provocative
Innocent until I felt her belly and it kicked
Out came out the south thing and how it did
I felt Outkast harder than Decatur did
My friends found _to own?_ enough to make the culture big enough
To make my curiousity evolve to how I live
So right around this time I found legends through my studies
Nas, KRS-One and Mos Def among these
To witness the flip side can sometimes get ugly
Like sugar and stuck on the counter to the honey
But nothin's really funny 'bout the way that she interprets
How she sounds now _were?_ the inner spirit worth it
She's so far away from who she was in the beginning
She's so lost she can barely make it out the exit
And so on... Responsibilities seem so simple
We need to reinforce the foundations to the temple
Meaning speak the truth more often when it comes to how we feel
All I know is that my love is Unconditionally real
Hey boy
It's never gonna be the same
You seem to grow up and change
I know you never fade away
'Cause you got that Unconditional Love
The kind that takes away the pain
I know I seem lost these days
The only thing that keeps me sane
Is that you got that got that...
It feels good
To see the young kids know the words to my songs
To get home safely to the valley that I'm from
To marinate all day in the summer sun
To sit about the bonfire bangin' on the drum
To make this fire for more people to relate to
How it feels when my message finally breaks through, eh
To be free of the monotonous and what they
Think about my style - they couldn't touch me on a good day, no
To see my people _waste?_ the harshest of conditions
Celebrate with love instead of sabotage _emissions?_
To see my father I respect finally happy -
Free from Lane County Public Works July 1st ugh
To see my mom smile bigger than the sunrise
Eyes bright I was eager to enjoy life
To teach the younger generation how to hold nights
So when I'm older then I know what would be done right
Break down, break, break down...
Break, break down...
For my people of Eugene...
Let me get a minute you should take one too
This is manifest the music comin' straight to you (you)
Feels good when the love comes true (true)
Feels right on a late summer night
When the moon's so bright that the clouds see through
City of bridges to my Eugene crew, ugh
A head piece dedicated to you
Courtesy to J Dodge and Marvis, brand new
Hey boy
It's never gonna be the same
You seem to grow up and change
I know you never fade away
'Cause you got that Unconditional Love
The kind that takes away the pain
I know I seem lost these days
The only thing that keeps me sane
Is that you got that got that...
Unconditional Love...
All I ever wanted was a _bum girl?_
Unconditional Love...
All I really want to do is change _worlds?_
Got that, got that Love...
All I ever wanted was a _bum girl?_
All I really want to do is change _worlds?_
