[Verse 1: Tom Pepe]
Yo Yo
Bus stoppin' on the sidewalk and cats on the phone talkin'
This and that and just another day in my habitat
Street joggers and birds chirpin' an' tree toppin'
Crows walk alone while persons workin' and need nothin'
Coffee sippin' not gon listen follow willin'
Politicians I be sittin' chillin' feel lots of fizzin'
Upon the daily
Starin' at this woman and a baby
Wonder why the trees make us act so shady
Lately been checkin' for the kids 'cross the street
'Cause for them be whom I speak when the thoughts get deep
Leaders of the marches, readers, and blunt sparkers
Be home before dark, gettin' drunk in the parkers
So I stop as the light goes red
Next to two broke kids, crazy wackos and tobacco heads
'Nuff said y'all can meet me in the beatin' rain
And tell the fam I be leavin' when the seasons change
[Hook]
Now everybody put a hand up
'Cause if who is the question
Then you is the answer
And everybody getcha' hands up
'Cause if who is the question
Then you is the answer
And I believe in the life
And I be leavin' tonight
And I be leavin' when the time is right
And I believe in my soul
And I believe in the road
And I be leavin' 'till you come back home
[Verse 2: Jester]
Yuh
An L impressed in my chest and I'm free
Physically and mentally with the melody
An' the rhythm
We sinnin' but repentin' it by livin'
Significant intention that we sending from within an'
We pinnin' our dreams on the beat and the word
People carvin' hella seams in the street and the curb
And yo I heard authority would try an mark it all down
But check I'm the majority who rock with our sound
Emancipated, with tainted education gettin' faded
We comin' down and hatin' it but that's the price we payin'
Now I'm freein' you, seeker of truth, instead of revenue
Sittin' on the avenue, when nothin's gonna happen soon
So it ain't a surprise we gettin' high
The smoke blowin' by in the sky intertwined
With the visible hopes sent afloat from out the soul
Indivisible when we roll holdin' our goals
[Hook]
Now everybody put a hand up
'Cause if who is the question
Then you is the answer
And everybody getcha' hands up
'Cause if who is the question
Then you is the answer
And I believe in the life
And I be leavin' tonight
And I be leavin' when the time is right
And I believe in my soul
And I believe in the road
And I be leavin' 'till you come back home
[Verse 3: Tom Wilson]
I see ya crackin' phony smiles walkin' past me
I'm watchin' lipstick on lick lips split to to call a taxi
I wish I was in the backseat sweet talkin' and heart poundin'
Sweat drippin' keepin' conversation actin' astounding
And so I glance through the window
To watch the rainfall
Thinkin' about third base wondering if she'll play ball
Well my attention is captured
By the heart and the soul
A mohawk on a rocker who seems so far from his goal
He's not trippin' about people laughing at him or crackin' jokes
'Cause when he looks back at us
He's the one that laughs the most
The caskets closed on average folks not living but just existing
Like the gray haired widows and all the lifers up in prison
I inhale, exhale, down myself then prevail
I breathe in the melody then release a street tale
Of three that came together and stayed true to their dreams
Reminding you to never give up on these daily routines
[Hook]
Now everybody put a hand up
'Cause if who is the question
Then you is the answer
And everybody getcha' hands up
'Cause if who is the question
Then you is the answer
And I believe in the life
And I be leavin' tonight
And I be leavin' when the time is right
And I believe in my soul
And I believe in the road
And I be leavin' 'till you come back home
[Outro: Tom Pepe & Tom Wilson]
Yup 'till you come back home
Everybody comin' out
We're gonna get real big real big
Put out a new album
Roosevelt High School '07-'08 fuck that shit and beyond
We're doin' it real big every day
And I believe in the life
And I be leavin' tonight
And I be leavin' when the time is right
And I believe in my soul
And I believe in the road
And I be leavin' 'till you come back home
