cee of r.e.a.l music - balladeer lyrics
[verse 1: cee]
no one to talk to as he sits in his room
‘cause his dad, he was gone way back in ’02
and his mom has no time cause she has to feed nine
and her job’s full-time, borderline lost her mind
she needs financial aid just to get the rent paid
don’t worry ’bout utilities, electric is a waste
so around about 8, they just sit in the darkness
poverty-stricken neighborhood’s been tarnished
add to the fact that the crime rate’s higher
caught up in a gang, all nine kids fire
shooting, k!lling, stealing, taking rims off people’s tires
it’s the life that you are living under constant threat of dying
they just want to be free one day
a better life is what they want to see some day
there’s only one way to escape says someone
and that is far away into the clouds up above him
[hook]
i wonder if we belong in this world at all
‘cause no one wants to be stuck in this world alone
too many thoughts in my head to explain it to ya’ll
so i guess i’m gonna have to explain it through song
(x2)
[verse 2: cee]
now the oldest one is nothing like the other eight
he’s almost an adult at seventeen years of age
stayed to himself mostly and rarely went away
all the while he was hoping just to see a better day
listened to some cds that were borrowed from a friend
listened to them everyday, from beginning to end
the rule was not to have it in the school but that was bent
coming home to pink slips on the door, can’t pay the rent
the music is a light to his dark life
he listened to it quiet sitting on a dark night
his brothers tryna get cut like a sharp knife
while he just observes it all under the starlight
yeah, he just wants to be free one day
a better life is what he wants to see some day
there’s only one way to escape says someone
and that is far away into the clouds up above him
[hook x2]
[verse 3: cee]
it’s been a few months later and the music’s still his favorite
connection’s grown deeper now he’s trying to create it
now he’s got a dream and the ambition to chase it
he wants to make a difference to the game, he wants to change it
make it better than it ever was, or will be
sick and tired of living in the slums, so filthy
attracted to the sounds of the drums, the ill beats
nothing but a pen, paper, and a hope that he’ll be
able to go down as the greatest of all time
one year later he’s comprised some of the best rhymes
had to stay focused even though they weren’t the best times
got a call from a record label, “you’ve been signed”
now he’s gonna be free one day
a better life is what he’s gonna see some day
there’s only one way to escape says someone
and that is far away into the clouds up above him
[hook x2]
