[Intro: Mother - talking]
Alright listen. You got 15 minutes to get ready. You're gonna miss the bus again.
Did you hear me? Well, I got two options for you.
Either you finish school or you find a job and help out around here.
I don't know what you think you're gonna do living like this.
[Chorus: Scratch]
[Crooklyn Dodgers 'Crooklyn':] "I'm feelin' another part of reality"
[Crooklyn Dodgers 'Crooklyn':] "Let's take a sec to think back"
[Verse One]
I'm from places where blacks live a block from the racists
You can go to hood to wood in twenty paces
Casinos and kilos of blow is how we famous
And Raekwon's song "Incarcerated Scarfaces" is CT
860 to 203
Where you can come up pumpin' a few O.Z.'s
Tryin' movin', well respected, duh, you know me
A Doe Raker, always stay around a few O.G.'s
Who push substance
College kids tryin' to cop somethin'
Down at Grattin at the Naval base, hoes stay buzzin'
Run around, stay fuckin', always cheatin' on they husbands
Saw her creepin' at Mohegan even though she said she wasn't
Ask my man Mo
Them younger dudes in New London
Been puffin' on that wet, get upset and start gunnin'
Me and Open Mic used to roll with Zulu in New Haven
Till we build with Alien Nation and made the seperation
That was '96
"Killin' Me Softly" was my shit
I remember Louie flipped when he had a bad trip
Left school my freshman year, plannin' to rap
Thought I was dyin' when I started havin' panic attacks
It's like
[Chorus x2: Scratch]
[Crooklyn Dodgers 'Crooklyn':] "I'm feelin' another part of reality"
[Crooklyn Dodgers 'Crooklyn':] "Let's take a sec to think back"
[Verse 2:]
"I remember"
125th Street in '95
"I remember"
K-Superior taught me to rhyme live
"I remember"
Travelin' to Philly to record with Vinnie
"I remember"
Celph first movin' to New York City
"I remember"
Rock Steady's Anniversary was insane
Beatnuts, Fat Joe, Pun, Big Daddy Kane
Gang Starr, Organized Konfusion, a lot of names
But around '99 everything changed
The Internet blew up
Fans turned to rappers
Rookies swore to God they was microphone masters
Complete metamorphosis, a turn for the worst
I feel like a preacher man and someone burned down my church
Been all over this Earth and now that rap is my work
I don't love it like I used to and that shit hurts
I'm like '88 days
Smooth shit to rock
Gold ropes thick as tomb ships use to dock
It's like
[Chorus x2: Scratch]
[Crooklyn Dodgers 'Crooklyn':] "I'm feelin' another part of reality"
[Crooklyn Dodgers 'Crooklyn':] "Let's take a sec to think back"
[Verse 3:]
"I remember"
Mayday's basement in the summer
"I remember"
Rockin' Hawaii with 8th Wonder
"I remember"
One important thing and it had to be
"I remember"
When my father told me to look up the word apathy
[Outro:]

The winter's chill chilled me to the bone this year
And something in my mind just got away
Being in the places where we used to be
Somehow being there without you's not the same.
Parking lots, office parks and shopping malls
And all you left were bills you hadn't paid.
The winter's chill chilled me to the bone this year
And something in my mind just got away
It's all behind you now,
You're moving on.
They'll never find you now,
You're moving on, on, on.
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, naa
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, naa
Alcohol, cigarettes and luxury goods,
Christmas lights look desperate in this room.
Winter's light left me in the dark last night
And Jingle Bells are smothered in this gloom.
Winter's trees freezing in the bitter wind
And autumn's leaves have all been blown away.
Being in the places where we used to be
Somehow being there without you's not the same.
It's all behind you now,
You're moving on.
They'll never find you now,
You're moving on, on, on.
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, naa
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, naa
It's all behind you now,
You're moving on.
They'll never find you now,
You're moving on, on, on.
Nah nah nah nah nah nah, naa

Pale and beckoning
In my dreams again
Reaching out
A china hand
Touching fingertips
Veiled consequence of making a bargain with the dead
I feel nearer
When I lay my bones to sleep
Solemn and delivered
Broken but at peace
Fragile betrayal in shades of white
Bound, tied, bathed in light
Yet cold and grey
Buried down there in the clay
Void and desolate
Crumbling ashen lips whisper secrets to the wind
Bloodied fingernails tear to no avail
Entangled in roots beneath the snow
She seems clearer
In the icy ground beneath
Silent and unyielding
Shattered but complete
Fragile betrayal in shades of white
Bound, tied, bathed in light
Yet cold and grey
Buried down there in the clay
Time and suffering won't change the four feet of earth between me and the spring
I buried the sun and salted the ground in hiding the warmth where it won't be found
I still hear her moth-flutter heartbeat as it disappeared
Underneath the bruise-black expression of all that I fear
Fragile betrayal in shades of white
Bound, tied, bathed in light
Yet cold and grey
