[Chorus: Reek Ruffin] Echoes of the images I can't unsee Grown folks business wasn't 'llowed at the old playground Everybody turns into food when you're hungry Tears drop from the rooftop, it's a long way down Ah, we never harbored ill intent y'all Necessity, she will invent now Though you may not have done the same I've only got myself to blame Should have known I was getting in over my head There was a time I was well enough to have left it alone Vault full of secrets of my deepest regrets Wish I wasn't so stone cold and bad to the bone Bad to the bone (Bad to the bone) [Verse: Black Thought] How'd I go from Aaron Jones to Van Jones? How'd I get to muscle tone from bare bones? I was Smokey and Robinson, no Miracles It's dirty and nasty as Russell Jones, Nasir Jones Bobby Womack blasting through the headphones The pimps, gamblers and grifters, they was the heroes Many a midnight run, young DeNiros For every life cut short, another beard grows In the distance between silence and a whisper There's no time for taking pictures, you mentally note The way the pavement had eventually spoke To say the wavelength was just a rule of thumb and it was meant to be broke [Bridge: Reek Ruffin] We never harbored ill intent, y'all Necessity, she will invent now Though you may not have done the same I've only got myself to blame [Chorus: Reek Ruffin] Echoes of the images I can't unsee Grown folks business wasn't 'llowed at the old playground Everybody turns into food when you're hungry Tears drop from the rooftop, it's a long way down Ah, we never harbored ill intent y'all Necessity, she will invent now Though you may not have done the same I've only got myself to blame Should have known I was getting in over my head There was a time I was well enough to have left it alone Vault full of secrets and my deepest regrets Wish I wasn't so stone cold and bad to the bone Bad to the bone
