Before the Storm Lyrics by Manny Phesto

Southside Looking In

2014

[Verse One]
Yo if it's all love what you want from me
Hopefully it's not money
Sometimes it seems like it's not coming
But I know it is keep on Focusing
Like we need to go back and learn the ropes again
I got fam from western Mass up to Oakland
Don't say it if we know it
The rules are unspoken
One goal just to see who comes closest
To all of the places we hope that we're going
Tryna' get a boat to travel the whole globe in
Where there's good land but don't nobody own it
Peace to those digging in the crates looking for dopeness
Peace to my peoples in the street working for progress
Bricks and mortar building up a fortress
We just tryna' grow this from small to enormous
As far as the size of the portions
& me and mines just trying to get right before the storm hits
[Verse Two]
& we moving through the city like water through the levee
Or the chemical weapons tests of the army in the sixties
Lots of stoned travel over cobblestones
Vamanos I'll lead you can follow close
Study knowledge scrolls smart as the honor rolls
On the roof or we in the clouds watch us float
Time flies life resembles sci-fi
Kids at festivals chemicals and tie-dies
Walk a fine line trying not to cross it
When she met you she told you approach with lots of caution
Make ya mind up there aren't alot of options
Same thing no matter the name you wanna call it
Wrap this herb this that and the third
Just we're watching how the whole thing happens to work
Real criminals are rich they ain't snatching a purse
We prepared for the best but imagine the worst
