The Meaning (feat. Lefty Rose & Orion) Lyrics

My name is Pete(that’s right), I’m 28 years old (Damn, that’s old!)
I’m just tryin’ to get my shit together, you know? (get it together) I made some mistakes, as I look back
What have I gained? What have I lost? Wish I could take back some of the time I fucked off
playing catch up cause I missed the path up, slacked up, and fell behind, losing time trying to mash up. Last minute procrastinate, always late, it’s in my attitude, my presence, my lack of fashion state (at any rate) I gotta push it to the past, turn a new page like level stage no more old ways, better days. I’m blowin’ negative, at people, deceptive, road to recovery, discover my objective and live one life one breath one shot no regretin’, forgettin’, misdirection in the plot made it this far keep on continuous, no matter how strenuous, no matter where the venue is. I stay puffed out when I bust out, till the fires put out, till my flame is snuffed out (out).
Yo, my name is Jamar, but I go by Caution (Caution), know what I’m sayin’? I’m 23 (23) trying to do this hip hop thing for real. Many mistakes have been made don’t get struggle towards manhood, torn between kickin’ it, and doin’ what I should. Lookin’ back to the days when Caution known his shot used to flirt with the mic, but I was really a jock. From the court to the track to the football field, did it all with a vengeance wasn’t tryin’ to yield. Got the diploma, Nevada back to California, growin’ up is tough, see I tried to warn ya. Rents due, got the flu, and I’m late for school, and hoop practice with a couch who sits me like a stool, feelin’ like a fool I walked away from the game, closed one door, opened another so I can’t complain. Surfed the web found a bangin’ beats inspiration hit Caution, circulate in the street, so I can peak on a new stage. Microphones I blaze in the days I must amaze.
What’s up? My name is Orain (O-ryan) I’m 22 years old and I’m fucking washed up (man that’s fuckin gsorry) regret, I’m livin’ with it pent up in my soul, I try to take advice but it gettin’ old, pops comes around and kicks me in my ass, I’m a victim of circumstance, that’s how I see my past. At long last, I can see the light but it’s too bright, fuck the past, it’s still shit I can’t do right, fight against my demons, but they leave me in the dirt, when I think about the people and the feelings that I’ve hurt, was it worth heartache and stresses (no) it’ll probably be less if I woulda got the message that was pushed upon me by my parents from an early age. Man I didn’t heed the warning now nobody is gonna save me, the downward spiral is progression, with every sip I take in every late night session. Fuck regret, man I’m headed for tomorrow, I’m torchin’ hella bridges and I’m living with the sorrow.
Yea, my name is Fun-man, I’m in my late 20s. I’m a leo, I’m into the Oakland raiders and drinking a lotta beer till I start pissing all over shit.
