Cruise Songtext / Lyric

[ One]:

Windows down

Just cruise

Open the paper take a look at the news

The industry's shaken up

Jay & Dame breaking up

Shyne locked up and Jam Master Jay shot up

I thank the Lord when I wake cause I got up

Though I'm suiting up for a wake for my partner

When everything's bad, good news sounds sad

And I still gotta deal with the problems that I had

Best friends beefing with me, girl friend ain't speaking to me

Rap got these fake cats trying to put their heaters to me

Trying to find my way out, they trap me in

Cats try to flex even when I'm at the gym

Sometimes it seems like the only thing to do

When I can't express all my feeling in the booth

I turn on a CD, Aaliyah's Care For You

Jay Dee's Volume 2 or Lil' Jon's Crunk Juice

Speakerboxxx/The Love Below or TP2

Get Rich Or Die Tryin' sounds good in the Coupe

Portishead, Fiona Apple, man whatever fits you

And before you know it man, the world's on mute



Sometimes I just wanna cruise

From the things that I go through

I just wanna cruise

Turn off the two way on your phone dude

I just wanna cruise

Get away from the Pro Tools

I just wanna cruise

Cause this life is just so cruel

Sometimes I just wanna cruise

From the things that I go through

I just wanna cruise

Turn off the two way on your phone dude

I just wanna cruise

Get away from the Pro Tools

I just wanna cruise

Cause this life is just so cruel



[ Two]:

Windows down

Just cruise

Open the paper take a look at the news

The Dirty South waking up

Fif and Game breaking up

Mac Dre murdered and the industry's shaken up

Hip Hop Police drive around and pursue

And the niggas with they chains that they see on the tube

That they see on the wall

Of their children's room

It just has them appalled

That we do what we do

They would love to see a nigga back in whips and chains

Rather than a black man buying whips and chains

Fly to Dallas for a week, in front row watch Game

They claim they want us off the streets, still they complain

Sometimes it seems like the only thing to do

When I can't express all my feelings in the booth

I turn on a CD

Blueprint 2

Or Blueprint 1

Whatever fits you

It's Dark And Hell Is Hot or Coldplay's Parachutes

Juelz Santana's From Me To You

Or Things Fall Apart, my favorite joint from The Roots

Music helps me get away from the troops



Sometimes I just wanna cruise

From the things that I go through

I just wanna cruise

Turn off the two way on your phone dude

I just wanna cruise

Get away from the Pro Tools

I just wanna cruise

Cause this life is just so cruel

Sometimes I just wanna cruise

From the things that I go through

I just wanna cruise

Turn off the two way on your phone dude

I just wanna cruise

Get away from the Pro Tools

I just wanna cruise

Cause this life is just so cruel



[ Three]:

O.D.B. passing

J-Dilla just left us

Proof got shot in the head, it's all messed up

My home girl burned up, it scares me to think

When we die nobody knows where we gon' turn up

I think about life for the living, driven

Determined to make it for my children

If and, when I do, I'll be drifting

In this dirt we call Earth got me tripping

And I don't even smoke but I think like a cheefa

Instead view the world through the eyes of the cheeba

Think of

Otis Reeding singing through Emmett Till's pain

Or Jimi Hendrix guitar played by Kurt Cobain

It's like music is my melody, fix to cocaine

Once you feel the kick kick, straight to your brain

Sometimes the world can drive a brother insane

So when I wanna get away from the game

I just wanna cruise



Sometimes I just wanna cruise

From the things that I go through

I just wanna cruise

Turn off the two way on your phone dude

I just wanna cruise

Get away from the Pro Tools

I just wanna cruise

Cause this life is just so cruel

Sometimes I just wanna cruise

From the things that I go through

I just wanna cruise

Turn off the two way on your phone dude

I just wanna cruise

Get away from the Pro Tools

I just wanna cruise

Cause this life is just so cruel
