Lately, I've been feeling uninspired Like, I don't want to write no more, should I retire People all around me always asking me for favors And I never ask for anything back like a good neighbor sh**, they forget real quick what you have done for 'em But that don't even matter cos you got nothing but love for 'em But sometimes you really wish they weren't so ignorant And hope that soon enough they'll be a little more considerate Like, I was there when your child was born And when you make it, I can say I've known you from before When you were bored and you really wasn't sure, that music was the answer you were seeking in your soul I know that feeling, when you just want to leave it Cos it seems like over time it's just not the same thing you believed in I've been there, homie but music is my plan B I gotta graduate and then maybe I'll be an emcee (Cairo: Ohhh! This must be the famous revolutionary Huey Freeman Isn't this the brother who used to be your homeboy, but then he ran away to- Huey: Nah, nah, I didn't run Cairo: Yeah, whatever. So, brother, where your poems at? Huey: Huh?) No love lost, I ain't even mad at you Back you up before my own blood, never had to choose I matter, dude learn to see the world from another view Pretty much like blood to me, you're one of the only few And no dispute could ever seem to change that
Hopefully one day you'll understand just how to face facts And when you do, dawg that's when you'll see improvement And your life will fall together than a better labeled blueprint I'll give a hand where I can if you need it Take your soul and free it from ever being conceited or misleaded in the wrong path Your own wrath, can take you down in a second Just close your eyes for a second and envision all the memories you were luckily blessed with And to be honest, kid I hope that I'm a part of it It really s**s how you just turned your back and departed quick (Jazmine: Do you wanna come over and play video games? Huey: No. I'm going back home Jazmine: For good? Huey: No, I wish. We're going for a funeral, one of my granddad's old friends. I'm gonna get to see my best friend, Cairo Jazmine: Cairo is your best friend? Huey: Yeah, but I haven't talked to him since I moved Jazmine: How can he be your best friend if you never talk to him?) They say the good die young and I believe it Cos even though you're breathing, you're really not out there living Thinking is easy, but acting is difficult Probably the reason why you still haven't met your goals (Jazmine: I don't think I have a best friend Huey: Hm. s**s for you. Well, if I never come back, have a nice life Jazmine: Bye)
