Ode to Marvin

This song is for my people
I wanna know where we going
I'm right beside you, '07

Streetlights, twilight
There's a liquor store by his playground
It's raining a cash flow
But it sits well at home, it's a hustle
Now a mother used to hustle to a different tune
Isn't the midnight thrilling?
And oh, the traffic's heavy, but the light don't slow you down
He thinks trouble's fulfilling

Oh, don't let me fall victim to this human nature
I know the way it is don't mean that's how it's supposed to be
Oh, I wonder where this broken place is gonna take us
And where's the way? I wanna know

Street life, crowded
But that's his way out the illusion
Teachers failing
Our hero lives on TV
And oh, my break keeps all eyes closed while his are so open
Take it in three ways, or no way
Nowadays nothing wrong 'cause everything goes
We think trouble's fulfilling

Oh, don't let me fall victim to this human nature
I know the way it is don't mean that's how it's supposed to be
Oh, I wonder where this broken place is gonna take us
And where's the way? I wanna know

I want to know where
I want to know where
I want to know, know, know

Oh, don't let me fall victim to this human nature
I know the way it is don't mean that's how it's supposed to be
Oh, I wonder where this broken place is gonna take us
And where's the way? I wanna know
