9th Wonder - World Turns lyrics

[Intro] Yeah From the heart you know [Verse 1: GQ] See this here story take place not far from here About a kid named Kevin who was headed down the right path No trouble, never messin up Both pants and life grades always kept him up Still around the drama though, city had a lot to show Neighborhood place where only cops would go Told himself one day I'mma make it out, far away from all of this Now he thinking in the car and sh** Drivin down the highway, music up, blowin out the Hemmy That's when he got a call from his main man Benny See Benny had a gang plan, waitin for them to get paid Mastermind, tight mind, sharper than a sick fade So Kevin we could snatch paper like ripped page My homie started rockin and he was clockin in 6 days So Kevin mind's in a mixed stage Funny feeling in his stomach, stickin like a switch blade Not sure of what he heard But Kevin still took Benny's word Cuz he know him since the 5th grade Couple minutes later call came to him and he He understood it all but still couldn't comprehend it Now Kevin fightin overthinkin while he drivin home His mind gone so his heart what he relying on Looking out fo mo, only thing his eyes on Wanna turn bad to good but don't know if it's right or wrong Months went by, everything running smooth True enough, Benny's plan, gotta make your moves So now Kevin at an alltime high His attitude changed, you could see it in his eyes Little pocket change turned out to be the answer Trust nobody, on his toes like a dancer Leavin school one day, Kevin went Bonanza When he came home and found out his mom had cancer What makes it worse, lately hearin pops been trippin Job laid him off a month ago, income slippin Man this is nothing that Kevin would've predicted Good kid caught up in a world so wicked He just needed better days, hard to enjoy em Bullsh**, bad luck, he couldn't avoid em Him and Benny workin on but nobody employed em Money and whatever came with it got a poison Opposite of what he is now what he lusts Fell in love with greed, more ain't even enough The money and attention Kevin kid and was getting on the nerves of Benny slowly But he ain't show it to his homie But now they friendship was crumbling, Styrofoam Both of they minds gon hard what they relying on Tryna get some mo', only thing they eyes on Wanna turn bad to good but don't know if it's right or wrong Starin at life, something only few would see Kevin and Benny ain't as cool as they used to be I guess jealousy and envy just came between em We all look at things different but for a reason It looked good from a distance, hypnotizing But when he finally did it be a bit surprising Want it but I don't know if I'm made for it Forbidden fruit, we all crave for it Yeah
