Promise Land (feat. Labrenda) [1990-1999]
Staring out the window at the man next-door
Doing everything he can do to endure
There's confusion all over his face
Guess he kind of feels he's a little out of place
Got a funny feeling he's trying to hide
Wonder if we'll ever get to come outside
Must be hard just trying to be a man
When you're trying to make it in the promised land
In the promised land
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
City streets just crawlin' with life
But nobody wants to share the spotlight
One man beggin' says he just wants food
Another man telling him to bend the rules
What about the girl who just turned 15
20 million things that she wants to be
Living in the streets doing everything she can
Trying to survive in the promise land
Guess it all makes sense
Guess it's the thing to do
Somewhere underneath it all
It's trying to talk to you
But you keep running from the truth
Running as fast as you can
But there's only one place to go
To the promised land
Promises promises
Promises promises
Promises promises
Promises promises
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
There's an old man who walks the streets
Trying to talk to anybody he sees
People walkin' by never listen to a word
I Wonder one day if you'll ever be heard
Gotta be something going on in his mind
Guess you'll never know if we never take the time
And it seems kind of sad the way it is in the promised land
Guess it all makes sense
Guess it's the thing to do
Somewhere underneath it all
It's trying to talk to you
But you keep running from the truth
Running as fast as you can
But there's only one place to go
To the promised land
Promises promises
Promises promises
Promises promises
Promises promises
Just another face
Trying to find a place
Doing all you can
To reach the promise land
Never see the signs
But in the back of your mind
There's gotta be a plan
To reach the promise land
The promise land
Promises promises
Promises promises
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Doing everything he can do to endure
There's confusion all over his face
Guess he kind of feels he's a little out of place
Got a funny feeling he's trying to hide
Wonder if we'll ever get to come outside
Must be hard just trying to be a man
When you're trying to make it in the promised land
In the promised land
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
City streets just crawlin' with life
