misty memories on 43rd

<sub>misty memories on 43rd
kids in dungarees sit on the curb
listen to the breeze, not the police
report back to me what ya heard

New York had to be absurd for it work
like Schwarzenegger as Hercules
lizards eat fish, Ninja Turtles eat pizza
beneath in the underbelly

out here im the rat like Charlie Kelley
bought that meat suit from the deli
done a lotta shit but i never got a felony
crime sprees in the land of the free

is standard op procedure, dont cha see?
you dont believe me? just turn on your tv
cuz even s.o.b.s from the mean streets
secretly wanna live peacefully

uh, uh uh, misty memories
hushabye, baby dont say a word
uh, uh uh, misty memories
hushabye, baby dont say a word

i kissed a girl before i ever met her
and in order to impress her
record a verse under pressure drop

need pleasure so i need hip hop
dontcha know drop tops gonna draw the cops
like a bull in china shop
throttle at the traffic stop
sweet inside a toilet paper roll like a push-pop

never know when it ends, when it runs out
savor this like the northwest when the suns out
rays to catch, gonna make the best of it
pretend i aint gotta pay the rent

then call collect, when all the moneys spent
charge it to your fathers debit card, he paid the debt
thats the way it went
well, thats what they said

uh, uh uh, misty memories
hushabye, baby dont say a word
uh, uh uh, misty memories
hushabye, baby dont say a word

misty memories on 43rd
you given everything in order to be heard
living on the street can be more preferred
than the boardroom
empty like the Lords tomb

moving, everybodys slick in the city
picture this, envision brick buildings
brownstone could be brimstone
whos fooling who?
and whos schooling who?

blind lead the blind
curriculum designed by the same guys who brainwashed your mind
the first time they came by, it werent ok by you
but things change, true

amazing what you can adapt to
shades and spooks, wraiths on your back wanna clap you
they fade away when you pulled back the curtain
on misty memories of 43rd

hushabye, baby dont say a word
