you know the irony of life is that you have like
this big dream to get where you want to be
but once you get there you start to dream about where you came from.
I guess that's the part of the circle of our lives
like the hands of a clock going round.
if only we could wind them back and return to a time where the dream began.
its all too soon that's all will be is a dream in someones mind.Look at me I'm famous on top of the world,
I finally reached up in time (im a superstar)
stand up, step back and take a look
is this really whut I had in mind? (i don't really think so)
I guessed them goals that we set in the day,
they actually came to be. (yup yup)
but now I'm lookin at a black white paper,
and with a whole book of memories (but we never read)seven deep in the jeep with the camel top,
everybody and they drunk as hell,
?? and awesome dre and anybody by the right would see us
(cause we always went there)
songs were long and pollution strong, and the faygo always warm and flat
(thats nasty)
but if now if this supposed to be heaven for me, then just give me my own
hell backso take me home
(to my empty refridgerator)
c'mon and take me home
(to a life in which I understand)
so take me home
(to my old school down in delray)
c'mon and take me home
??(cmon cmon) lets go y'allthere's another festival down town,
take some bottles back up to the store
(i found two of em)
that would get us bus money down there
to get back we have to find some more
(might as well get drunk)
hangin our flyers up everywhere,
we coulda sworn we was makin noise,
(everybody knew us)
finally we had everyone in southwest
representin with the jj boys (everybody)I stole to eat (i stole)
I stole to live (i stole)
I stole only to survive (if yous a hoodlum)
just like j said in 'ghetto zone' I stole a car with my tape inside
all we did was try to talk to hoes,
and none of them was tryin to hear (not 1 hoe)
it woulda meant so much more back then
cause now its fake hoes everywhereso take me home
(to my empty refridgerator)
c'mon and take me home
(to a life in which I understand) (where you at y'all?)
so take me home
(to my old school down in delray) (summer time)
c'mon and take me home (delray)mike p y'allsouthern rock for yarudeboyoh lord don't let me get my girlfriends call
if she don't get off until two (we got all night long)
I finally show up at 4:30 am
and I still have to drop my crew off (but i'll be back)
now I'm alone and ontop of it all,
looking deep in the back of my mind (looking deep in the back of my mind)
I realised the key to a happy life
was right here wit me the whole timeChorus x2
so take me home
(to my empty refridgerator)
c'mon and take me home
(to a life in which I understand)
so take me home
(to my old school down in delray) (where you at?)
c'mon and take me homewhat up everybody I'm here chillin with samantha

together there as powerful as my unity
and i've been blessed to have my familyI am samantha, i'm a MC
