I Wonder

Yeah
Yeah
Dwayne Swayze

I know I'm getting closer to the end like a three sixteenths tread
For those that remember what Austin three sixteen said
I'm trying to avoid the pressure that pushed Heath over the ledge
That blood money green but in my dreams you bleed red
Hands raised high to the heaven's accepting what we've received
Haunted by memories that's still hidden under my sleeves
Sat under the learning tree and then left blood on the leaves
Granted a brief reprieve to heal I had to grieve
I do everything by the book now
To the letter exactly
Cause I know if we get caught then they gone throw the book at me
Blind leading the blind in the shadows maneuver accurately
Caution first move discreet and do it tactfully
Sometimes this leave of absence
It helps refuel the passion
When I return I find strength in here like Samson
Cut a loc and then try to hold it for ransom
In life's questions all the meanings I fathom

I live the life of a crook
Although I write like a poet
If this is God's plan
Then I'm asking her please show it
Lord
I wonder why I
I wonder why I
I live the life of a crook
Although I write like a poet
If this is God's plan
Then I'm asking him please show it
Lord
I wonder why I
I wonder why I

See life through the lens of a kaleidoscope
Or a fiend skiing on the slopes
Common law married to the streets
I thought that we'd elope after a week
Anniversary dates approaching
Tim Duncan leaving Saint Croix
Needing Popovich coaching
But I landed in Houston
Still searching for insight
The glare of big city lights
That adds to the confusion
It blurred the path
I learned to do the hustle
Master class
How we tango with life's relentless dance
Second chance in this maze is
Few and far to come by
In bed with the underworld no
That's where the truth lies
Doing dirt blackens the soul of the good guys
Mice rolling dice just trying to relive the good times
That blood money green but in my dreams you bleed red
Trying to avoid the pressure that pushed Heath over the ledge
Getting closer to the end like a three sixteenths tread
For those that remember what Austin three sixteen said

I live the life of a crook
Although I write like a poet
If this is God's plan
Then I'm asking her please show it
Lord
I wonder why I
I wonder why I
I live the life of a crook
Although I write like a poet
If this is God's plan
Then I'm asking him please show it
Lord
I wonder why I
I wonder why I
