i wonder if langston hughes and alex haley
got blazed before they told stories
i'm get blazed before i tell y'all stories
and then made it to a diamond ring
now he watches his son shine everyday
i just thought about that
while i sit here ashing in this ash tray
intricate stories of devante swing
the crashin' of james dean
bobby brown influenced by rick james and it goes. prince wanted alexander o'neal to be morris day or jerome
but alex was puttin' coke in his nose
could be a myth but i swear that the source was close
phyllis hyman killed herself
donny hathaway free fall from a balcony
as the blunt ash falls into the ash tray
i could see my whole life fly past me
did i. did i keep it gangsta or keep it classy?
and will the money and fame out last me?
the blunt's ash falls down in the ash tray
will i see my whole life fly past me?
i'm askin' did i keep it gangsta or keep it classy?
did i?. anything else you wanna know
sam trusted womack with his main lady
this is how you repay me?"
