The Flow Lyrics by Sweetness

2014

[Verse 1: Sweetness]
They say positivity is contagious, but negativity is even worse
For the money, power and love, at the end of the day who’s really in first
When our lives are overshadowed by visions of our own hearse
Visions of our own funeral, like a flock of doves dispersed
Like a ray of sunshine, our gifts shine bright amongst all that’s immersed
Beware the attraction to the metaphorical flock of ravens that’s cursed
Life’s about risk, can’t steal 2nd base with your feet on 1st
We need to shine bright rather than be overshadowed by the days of overcast
These Carmelo thoughts that I keep to myself when they rather should be passed
It’s hard not so see a woman based off her past
And it’s hard not to judge a man when he moves so fast
Whatever happened to time, better take photographs
Stories get made, I just get on with the writing
Who would have thought that a Narcissistic would become best friends with an Autistic
Ironically we just fit together like puzzle pieces
I swear I keep losing friends, but the depth of friendship just increases
Sometimes kickin it with my crew is all that I needed
I had visions of right now when I thought about being the greatest
Always on the road, but that’s when I found my place amongst places
From the land of 3 Rivers, connected state to state
I got nothing but time, but no time to waste
The shirt from yesterday, I’ll just throw it on
Better hurry, history is here and then it’s gone
Better get to livin’
Because long after you’re dead, life goes on
Yeah, life goes on

[Verse 2: Cheech]

[Verse 3: Sweetness]
Are we surviving the times, or are we getting used to the crimes
Step outside the lines and get hit with a couple of fines
Rest in peace to creativity
Nas, Biggie and Pac were the 3 wise men to our hip hop nativity
The crucifixion of the soul held by the movement of egocentricity
I never lived by the book, call it unofficially
But my sermon to the world would be explicitly, fearlessly about resiliency
And it might seem like past history but are the people still in the desert wandering aimlessly
And how can you live for right now when you’re always looking to the future
Worried about past history, looking back like someone’s about to shoot ya
I swear I keep getting older, but I just feel the same
Things keep changing, only thing I know for sure is my name
I felt the pleasure, I endured the pain
Shined in the light, and got washed away by the rain
The drama creeping in like the cold, but I just sparked up like a flame
Amongst all the noise I was the last one to complain
Got lost in my thoughts, I could have used some guidance
Went looking for the right chemistry in someone like science
Lost a couple friends, I just miss their presence
The darker side, I needed to feel the vengeance
I might be here but it doesn’t vouch for my absence
Might crack a smile but it doesn’t hide all the grief
They just call us Generation Rx; I can use some relief
XYZ, I just want to find my peace
For some freedom I needed some time alone
At the Top Floor, my home sweet home…
