I don't recall when I saw the hatred. Things were simpler when we were children. Now that we're "smarter", why is it so hard to go back to those times? Beat by Ill Poetic, for the album "To Mock A Killingbird".

lyrics

[intro]
Uh
Let me talk to 'em.

[verse 1]
I don't recall when I saw the hatred
My block was never not segregated
White kids was all I had to play with
So I came up just a little bit jaded
Uh, now they aggravated
Got some lil threats when my head got faded
But if you stop now, take a look around
It's all hiphop, see what I created?
Yeah, it's like I fornicated
With somebody else on that '88 shit
Had a whole bunch of them lil be-be kids
We don't die, we multiply
And so do I, know why?
'Cause I'm dedicated
To gettin back to where I was in the '80's
Back before the whole world seemed so crazy
Lets have some fun like when we was young

[hook]
I said Life, is a little bit different
Seen through the eyes of the children
And we could gain a thing or two
If we'd only pay attention to the way they do

Yes Life, is a little bit simpler
Seen through the eyes of the children
And we could gain a thing or two
If we'd only pay attention to the way they do
Word life

[scratch break]
