[Az]
 Close ya eyes and fly with me
 Spark a lie get high with me
 Bitch leaise with me
 Come inside and see

 [Monifah]
 Seeeeee with meeee

 [AZ]
 C'mon, C'mon
 Close ya eyes and fly with me
 Light ya lie get high with me
 Bitches eyes 'll see

 [Verse One - AZ]
 Yo, blessin's to the young ones trapped in the world
 Never hate the next man that be tappin' your girl
 It's just a hype
 So many things a man vision through life
 Help me to understand the chosen ones livin' through Christ
 Blind in time from so many signs showin' from greed
 Tryin' to calculate all the firms
 I blow em for weed
 Started out just a young shorty breaking the rules
 Turned out to be the wise educating the fools
 So many lost is these last dayz
 Closed curtains
 Tryin' to change from my past ways
 I'm soul searching
 Diggin' deep tryin' feel within
 It's real ill
 Takin' time just to chill with friends
 We still build
 Always told when I kick it with moms
 To stay strong
 Watch out for the bitches thats wicked
 That play wrong
 Keep your game strong
 Maintain yourself and live
 God bless the kids
 Soon somethin' gotta give

 [Chorus - Monifah]
 The last dayz
 Are comin'
 Towards you
 It's time to bid
 ???
 The last dayz
 Are comin'
 Towards you
 It's time to bid
 AZ tell 'em my dear

 [Verse Two - AZ]
 You kinda know when your end is near
 I been there
 Seeing years disappear
 Been there
 Nobody wins here
 Swore on the population
 We fightin' blind
 For sure we need to stop the hating
 And lightin' mines
 Many die from a tradic death
 In cold blood
 But hoggin' niggas lost black respect
 Show love
 Sometimes I wonder was we ever free
 High officials
 They move so cleverly
 Don't ever sleep
 Got my mind on a proverb
 Ecclesiastics
 These bible words so absurb
 I beat 'em back
 Was the open doors
 Gave me a cause to stay swift
 And for war
 It gave me the swore to stay rich
 Understanding is the best part
 Besides that
 A fella of to a fresh start
 No time to sidetrack
 So much more still to come
 It seems strange
 I was much more iller young
 But things change
 Tryin' to grow old
 So many sights to see
 Told 'em never fall
 Just move righteously
 You know

 [Chorus - Monifah]

 [Verse Three - AZ]
 I never knew any bloods and crips
 But they exist
 In New York it's just thugs and clicks
 We offer chips
 Makin' moves tryin' to stay afloat
 It get deep
 In these streets you either stay awoke
 Or get beats
 And strategize like the wise kings
 Respect due
 Others get high
 Let their mind scheme
 I got ??tacuu??
 In this world where so many stress
 Understand
 Ain't nothin' left but the thoughts of the death
 We sons of man
 So I practice the same as C
 It's Oprah season
 Got police moving dangerously
 For no reason
 Hope that soon we can all adapt
 Get wise
 And realise who the soul 'll trap
 In diguise
 Assassinated by my own kind
 So why act
 And cause blacks to have a closed mind
 Deal with facts
 Keep your eyes open
 Never rock yourself to sleep
 Love to the East
 Let the dead rest in peace

 [Chorus - Monifah] x 2

 [Outro - Monifah]
 We gotta do
 what we gotta do
 Brothers, sisters
 You gotta wake up
 You gotta wake up
 Ain't nothing gonna come from this
 We gotta make it right now
 We gotta make it right now now
 Oohhhhh
