Wonder
Maybe put a little song on,
Turn the lights a little lower,
Think a little longer and talk a little slower,
Baby, love you like I know I can,
And never let you go again.
I wonder,
Why it's been days without daylight,
Wonder why inflation costs rise but no pay hike,
Why they say I'm underground but still ain't got no gravesite,
I guess it's what success is supposed to taste like, huh?
I wonder if I did this right,
And I wonder just how many spliffs I've twisted in my life,
I wonder if this liquor's gonna have me twisted here tonight,
Have me up until the morning, wondering why we missed the flight.
I wonder,
I wonder why I don't watch battle rap,
Ever since Patty passed, except his benefit,
Shoutout to Organik for that,
And everybody else who did the planning for that.
Y'all took my breath away like a panic attack.
I wonder if the baby that we lost in my wife's belly was supposed to be my son,
And I wonder if it happened for a reason, happened for a reason,
My God, I still believe in,
But I'm questioning these demons,
I'm wondering…
Maybe put a little song on,
Turn the lights a little lower,
Think a little longer and talk a little slower,
Baby, love you like I know I can,
And never let you go again.
I wonder if my uncle was gay,
I mean he never did come out, but it felt like he wanted to.
Back in those days, though, it was hard to feel uncomfortable,
So staying in the closet really wasn't that uncommon too.
I wonder, what is hip-hop without Bambaataa?
I wonder what Tupac would've been like as a grandfather.
I wonder why we used to send kids to their room,
Now when we punish them by sending them outside, I wonder why.
It's hard to grow up in the public eye.
We've seen these child stars grow up in their troubled lives,
Then we gave the kids Snapchat and told them publicize,
Then we wonder why, why these kids seem to struggle by.
Uh, I wonder why they tried to change the rules, tried to hide the truth,
Tried to change historic facts.
I wonder why the church is empty every Sunday,
But the shopping mall and liquor store are packed, man, I can't help but wonder.
Maybe put a little song on,
Turn the lights a little lower,
Think a little longer and talk a little slower,
Baby, love you like I know I can,
And never let you go again.
Maybe put a little song on,
