Greene Road Connection - King's Indian Defense Lyrics

There I sat in sack cloth and ash
I buzzed my head, I might grow it back
I might keep the stache, nothing ever lasts
I just try to keep focused on the good
And I always had the feeling that I'm feeling right now
Avoiding premonitions cause I always knew how
But something's really tellin' me, we gotta go now
Alarm clock buzzin, sharp pain in my brow
I get up to go to work, instead I go to call in
They know how to keep it going, now I go to sit
And sip on my coffee, and wait for the kids
Things are bound to get hyper for the modern men
Will history repeat itself, let's see what he thinks
You know he's always changing up every time that I blink
Always hanging out around me, throwing the kitchen sink
Is it just too much for a mortal to take

My buddy at work, he must have a crystal ball
Cause I'm always asking him, what's the point of it all
He tells me in the 80's we just used to have fun
And that seemed so far away from me where I stood
The critics after me, or I'm after myself
Don't be surprised when it's hard to tell
Well, me and my kin born rebels, I'ma say it again
We just gotta figure out what we rebelling against

And there I ran, down the narrow path
I might fall in a ditch, but who's got my back
Arrows over my head, to see if I can pass
One shot to the head, the king is tipped at last
Everything has changed, and that's okay
Nothing will be the same, is that okay
I feel like I never see the light of day
And now all I think is we got pictures to take
But here I never listen to the things I say
I think that's just a game, I was taught to play
Sneaking out the bishop in the plays I make
I never play it straight with the crooked ways
But let's just have a good day like it's the last
Time I hear my kids call me dad
I should call everybody up and tell them my bad
They're always calling me, I'm never calling back
