Unknown Prophets - The Wrong Route lyrics

(feat. DJ Abilities)



This is a story about Tommy and Elaine



Just another case about the wrong path

It's gonna get ya



Tommy was a nobody

Throughout his childhood years

Scrubby clothes, parents ?, no friends amongst his peers

Junior high arrived so depressed inside

Late one evening he even tried to take his own life

Yo his mom found a knife

With his wrists sliced

Laying on the floor of his room, no lights

Doctors put him on some meds for his depression

But mom prayed nightly asking' god to bless him

Now a freshmen up in highscool no longer the fool

Place to forget the past and start new

He quickly made friends with this cat named Juan

And Tommy skipping class, stealing cigs from his mom

A couple years pass now he's a junior

11th grade searching for quicker ways to get paid

He soon got connected with this cat down in ?

Now he's got his girl signing for packages in the mail

Went from ripped jeans to mad cream

Traded all his nightmares for the pleasant dreams

No longer the kid with no friends trying to blend

That chapter in his life soon came to an end

Now a rollie covers his scars sitting' on his wrist

Rocking' the illest gear cellie sitting' on his hip

Fly whips, fly chicks, collecting mad chips

Jealous cats waiting for his time to slip

One night Tommy's driving home from this party

High off the weed yo drunk from bacardi

Barely made it home his mom helped him in the house

Walked up in the living room passed out on the couch

Suddenly these cats kicked in his door

Ran up in the house threw his mom to the floor

Put the pistol to her head this is what he said

"Your money and your weed or the bitch is fucking dead!"

Tommy tried to tell em "Yo its at another spot"

Two seconds later all you heard was a shot

They pistol whipped Tommy snatched him for his jewels

Ran out the house off in his ride they cruised

Tommy struggled to make it to his mom's side

She lay in a pool of blood with no life

He finally thought he was a man and had it made

But was it really worth the price that Tommy paid



[Chorus]

Take a look around

Get the big picture

People steady scheming on ways to get richer

Trying to live a lifestyle that doesn't even fit ya

Watch out kid cause in the end its gonna get ya



Elaine was a high school girl she had it made

Never late to school with above average grades

Her own condo on the outskirts of Blaine

Car, cell phone all in her parents name

Bills paid for by mom and pops

Who had a nice little tight relationship with the cops

Living above the law and on top of the world

Moms honor roll daughter and daddy's little girl

But all of a sudden her life took a strange swing

Elaine wasn't interested in the same things

She felt she was living too plain

And that she didn't fit in so she started running with a gang

Selling cocaine she really didn't need the extra money

She did it for the respect and the fame

Now lets not forget this is the girl from Blaine

And if her parents ever found out no doubt they'd go insane

Soon she slowly lost her grip

Elaine started skipping classes and her grades started to slip

And one night she came home with a busted lip

She insisted it was nothing but both her parents flipped

She said she got hit by a basketball in gym class

But the truth was that her boyfriend had whooped her ass

The next afternoon they got a letter in the mail from the school

It said that she was breaking some rules

There was unexcused absences, good grades dropped

And that there was a couple incidents with the cops

They couldn't believe what they just heard

That schools got some nerve

Claiming that there Elaine was in trouble that's absurd

So right away they called their friends on the force to investigate

But by that time it was already to late

For what they saw on the TV would stop their blood in their veins

Local girl found dead overdose on cocaine

Her parents never knew such pain

And from that moment on their lives would never be the same

Her mom took it the hardest like she was to blame

And a month later she put a bullet in her brain

Its a shame cause two lives were lost in this mess

Elaine got more than she bargained for I guess

Yo there once was a girl named Elaine who had it all

She was high for a second but took a fatal fall



[Scratching by DJ Abilities: "Figured out I went the wrong route.."]



[Chorus]

Take a look around

Get the big picture

People steady scheming on ways to get richer

Trying to live a lifestyle that doesn't even fit ya

Watch out kid cause in the end its gonna get ya
