XV - Cruise lyrics

Windows down just cruise
Open the paper take a look at the news
The industry's shaken up
Jay & Dame breaking up
Shyne locked up and Jam Master Jay shot up
I thank the Lord when I wake cause I got up
Though I'm suiting up for a
Wake for my partner
When everything's bad, good news sounds sad
And I still gotta deal with
The problems that I had
Best friends beefing with me
Girl friend ain't speaking to me
Rap got these fake cats trying to
Put their heaters to me
Trying to find my way out, they trap me in
Cats try to flex even when I'm at the gym
Sometimes it seems like the only thing to do
When I can't express all my
Feeling in the booth
I turn on a CD, Aaliyah's Care For You
Jay Dee's Volume 2 or Lil' Jon's Crunk Juice
Speakerboxxx the Love Below or TP2
Get Rich Or Die Tryin' sounds
Good in the Coupe portishead, Fiona Apple
Man whatever fit's you
And before you know it man
The world's on mute

Sometimes I just wanna cruise
From the things that I go through
I just wanna cruise
Turn off the two way on your phone dude
I just wanna cruise
Get away from the Pro Tools
I just wanna cruise
Cause this life is just so cruel
Sometimes I just wanna cruise
From the things that I go through
I just wanna cruise
Turn off the two way on your phone dude
I just wanna cruise
Get away from the Pro Tools
I just wanna cruise
Cause this life is just so cruel

Windows down just cruise
Open the paper take a look at the news
The Dirty South waking up
Fif and Game breaking up
Mac Dre murdered and the industry's shaken up
Hip Hop Police drive around and pursue
And the niggas with they chains that
They see on the tube
That they see on the wall
Of their children's room
It just has them appalled
That we do what we do
They would love to see a nigga
Back in whips and chains
Rather than a black man
Buying whips and chains
Fly to Dallas for a week
In front row watch Game
They claim they want us off the streets
Still they complain
Sometimes it seems like the only thing to do
When I can't express all my
Feelings in the booth i turn on a CD
Blueprint 2 or Blueprint 1
Whatever fit's you it's Dark And Hell Is
Hot or Coldplay's Parachutes
Juelz Santana's From Me To You
Or Things Fall Apart
My favorite joint from The Roots
Music helps me get away from the troops

ODB passing j-Dilla just left us
Proof got shot in the head
It's all messed up
My home girl burned up, it scares me to think
When we die nobody knows where
We gon' turn up
I think about life for the living, driven
Determined to make it for my children
If and, when I do, I'll be drifting
In this dirt we call Earth got me tripping
And I don't even smoke but
I think like a cheefa
Instead view the world through the
Eyes of the cheeba think of
Otis Redding singing through
Emmett Till's pain
Or Jimi Hendrix guitar played by Kurt Cobain
It's like music is my melody, fix to cocaine
Once you feel the kick kick
Straight to your brain
Sometimes the world can drive
A brother insane
So when I wanna get away from the game
I just wanna cruise
