money for water - 1987A Lyrics

In the flame, shorty say "Stay true to yourself, you're too cute
These people tryna lead you astray, if you let em that's on you
Need all the help I can get
Traveling light, I take advice, watch all my steps and impressions
I put some fire in the sky, tryna get as high as it let me
I'm everyone's baby, favorite headache
Rock me to bliss in your safety, your loving arms
Traveling light, Imma blur then I'm gone
Tryna make the moment for once
I wander, a tourist at heart
Don't know where I belong
But something out there keep calling and maybe that's all that I want
Maybe that's all that I want
I never get the words right, when the time right, ironic as that is
I know the warmth enticing and that light blinding when it hits
In real life, it seem like, that we all a bunch of kids
I'm speedin by with tears in my eyes, like me, carried by the wind
Just something to remember me by, though I'm sure we'll meet again
Each time a little different
Sometimes I have visions, sometimes I am a vision
But it's never clear
I'm tryna go the distance, we done came a distance
And yall wasn't there
I feel so empty and alone and I don't know if it's real
Apparitions guide my will, like what the f*ck is fear
They wanna kill my spirit
I seen niggas die n walk this earth for years
I seen niggas give it all to be forgotten by they peers
I see niggas wearin costumes for career n posture like they serious
Them crackas drop you off a crumb n you'll call it a miracle
Praisin the stars n shit
I'm everyones baby
Impatient
My elders say I'm on my way
Strangers in different places tell me I'm on my way
My brothers tell me I'm on my way
Sometimes it feel like nothing changes
I'm still staring at danger
Everyones baby
My hand to the flame
