groovy soul - many faces ii lyrics

[bridge: 21 century]
can you remember the rain?
can you remember the rain?
you left me for somebody else
now i must face life by myself
you broke so many rules in school
i took the blame for you
i guess i was the fool
you used to sneak me notes in class
i winked my eye and laughed
those days went by so fast

[verse 1:]
many faces changing places now the block spinning
people gone and moving on, now the vibe different
i remember days i’d wake to hear the birds singing
nowadays, i visit home, it’s not the same feeling
cause the color’s simply fading from the sky
and the ones who paint the most i noticed are the ones who died
others sitting in a cell, penalized and victimized
i remember back in school, they’d be detailing they lives
painting pictures in our heads, tryna drip with these water colors
thinking in they heads, me and my mother won’t have to struggle
tryna run the marathon, doing the same hustle
these n+ggas pull they cards, they getting lost in the same shuffle
[bridge: 21 century]
we used to play out in the rain
your mother scolded us
she said that we were bad
(she said that we were bad)
i thought i’d better go on home (stepped it up and)
you watched till i was gone
ooh, girl, you looked so sad

[verse 2:]
yellow tape is now the gate way to these hoods
white chalk and black attire now surrounding where he stood
he had a little money so he thought that times was good
yet he still had to grip the steel like tiger woods
close your eyes and take a walk in my shoes
every broadcast, add another name to the news
i’ve lost some classmates, before and after finishing school
they turn to mechanics, from how often they gripping the tools
what’s the life in that? cause this ain’t it, this is suicide
another body drop, a brother crying “it’s time to ride”
now the wheels on this vicious cycle turns
like that metal that is ripping through your skin, i know it burns
let it burn, and show that pain on your face
i see another name, but this city sees a case
i lost a brother in the summer to a very cold faith
one day, i know my family will all get out and hopefully escape
many faces changing places now the block spinning
many faces changing places, people shape shifting

[bridge: 21 century]
you used to sneak me notes in class
i winked my eye and laughed
those days went by so fast
i’ve got remarks that torn us all apart
i’m still tryna put back the pieces to my heart

[verse 3:]
i had this one friend, smart kid, head of the class
i tried to push to his future, he was stuck in his past
i could see that his fear was holding him back
so everyday, he would pull up with a gun in the bag
i told him
that’s a easy way to exit this place
you get caught, you serving 10 or you sitting with
zae
whatever happens in this city, it’s so real it’s fake
but i refused to let a friend of mine become another face

[outro:]
can you remember the rain?
can you remember the rain?
