DJ Slimer - Pathways (feat. CdaDon)

Parents divorced when I was 14 years old
Didn't have much but a jump shot and serving weed in the school
I had to change course, too many cats sold with a lost cause
You had to move pounds in an attempt to be top boss
I got to do it over, The more I lived my heart becomes colder
Pray for me forehead, chest, shoulder to shoulder
Momma said "change your ways"
So I packed up, went to bean town and stayed with Aunt Faye
Music became my new way to eat
I sold mixtapes on campus with D. Shaw and DC
There they helped me to stay on my grind
I was a source who made connects with hype that was unsigned
I got to give thanks to those who believed
Two-fifth, BSE and the whole fucking NYC
ATL, MIA, Boston, IDA and I give a special shout to the fam Triple C

They say you never really know where you're going until you look back
And see how far you come
You got to know your history it can't be a secret cuz you'll turn around
And be doomed to repeat it
They say you never really know where you're going until you look back
And see how far you come
You got to know your history it can't be a secret cuz you'll turn around
And be doomed to repeat it

It's been a long time coming, No Sam Cooke
I been up all night reading these damn books
Throwing that left jab and working my check hook
In front of a mirror, just to see how my left look
Where I'm from we study to be the best crook
They love you then they hate you like Russell Westbrook
If I sell weed just to buy diapers
They gon' throw me in a cell right next to lifers
Put us in the system cuz they don't like us
But we still made it cuz we superstars
I ain't talking chains, I ain't talking cars
All this oppression, it made it so hard
But we still rise cuz we the sons of God
Heart of the hood of the hardest boulevards
Ain't nobody fucking with this strong will of ours
Never fight to the death, that's how you win the war

They say you never really know where you're going until you look back
And see how far you come
You got to know your history it can't be a secret cuz you'll turn around
And be doomed to repeat it
They say you never really know where you're going until you look back
And see how far you come
You got to know your history it can't be a secret cuz you'll turn around
And be doomed to repeat it
They say you never really know where you're going until you look back
And see how far you come
You got to know your history it can't be a secret cuz you'll turn around
And be doomed to repeat it
They say you never really know where you're going until you look back
And see how far you come
You got to know your history it can't be a secret cuz you'll turn around
And be doomed to repeat it
They say you never really know where you're going until you look back
And see how far you come
You got to know your history it can't be a secret cuz you'll turn around
And be doomed to repeat it They say you never really know where you're going until You Look back
And see how far you come
You got to know your history it can't be a secret cuz you'll turn around
And be doomed to repeat it
