Nahko And Medicine For The People - San Quentin lyrics

Windy coastal California Cradle me City of Angels I know, I know it won't come easily Return to the source of light indefinitely Call a cab, 6 a.m Do it just before I'm driving Hold up, seat check, am I crazy Greet him and release him from mental slavery Walked the yellow line, penitentiary Feeling off-shore wind come wink at me Weeping like a waterfalls To the call of the ocean Grandfather, please bring me your medicine I've come a long way to tell you this story There's no turning back now Angels come when you least expect 'em I've seen some crazy dreams manifested He said an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth A life for a life, I give mine to you He said an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth A life for a life, I give mine to you Hum-numbaway, away Hum-numbaway, away Way way way way way I've washed away Hum-numbaway, away Hum-numbaway, away Way way way way way I've washed away Sunrise flower San Francisco Have you ever met an angel? I know, I know only the half of it One side of the story, now I cannot forget Here we go, another chapter, one step closer Needed some closure, cross a couple borders Got into the mind of a tortured warrior I'm not responsible for a dark east past On a journey from the head to heart Do you think you can last? Well, maybe these are growing pains for such eloquence Grandmother came and brought the evidence I've come a long way to tell you this story There's no turning back now Angels come when you least expect them I've seen some crazy dreams manifested He said an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth A life for a life, I give mine to you He said an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth A life for a life, I give mine to you A life for a life, I give mine to you I may be a stranger, but I come as a brother We are not so different from one another The man that you become and the child you are Your anger is a strength, but it only goes so far An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth A life for a life, I give mine to you He said an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth A life for a life, I give mine to you A life for a life, I give mine to you
