Miracle - El Michels Affair/Black Thought.mp3

[00:01.821]Before I started gettin' to that money pile
[00:04.471]A corner store puppy love, sugar pie, honey child
[00:07.613]That always kept the vibe like two eggs, 'pon the sunny side
[00:10.822]Promised she would never front and never do me funny style
[00:14.019]Funny how I still remember everything I had to do
[00:17.476]Used to be magical to walk along the avenue
[00:20.660]I was just one of a few, you probably never had a clue
[00:23.586]How much I really sacrificеd, it's true, I ain't mad at you
[00:26.793]You lived across the tracks, I camе 'cause I cared for you
[00:29.707]Put Luster's pink oil moisture in my head for you
[00:32.904]I couldn't even dance, I turned into Fred Astaire for you
[00:36.101]Tryna stand a chance, layin' out what I would wear for you
[00:39.306]On the night before I saw you just to be prepared for it
[00:42.498]I keep the conversation inside of my head
[00:45.169]Or you wrote your phone number in my palm, now I'm clairvoyant
[00:48.880]I could see your heart was right where Cupid had his spare pointed
[00:52.363]Upstarts in the blowout, no way that we could know how
[00:55.569]Thirty years into the future, it ain't even safe to go out
[00:58.758]With all my fliers gone, the sauna can't show up to show out
[01:01.941]It's to the past I dedicate what I'm about to pour out, yo
[01:10.444]Lil' bit of liquor for you
[01:15.246]I said, I still remember all you used to put me through
[01:18.975]Swedish Fish and Windmill cookies when we hooky school
[01:21.945]All your friends was talkin' 'bout, "That rookie ain't no good for you"
[01:24.882]Before we took it through first base, they see me with the crew
[01:28.103]And dime drop, had me in that 3:15 time slot
[01:31.303]Down at Broad and Morris posted at the 29 stop
[01:34.523]Front of those apartments, money with the funny eyes
[01:37.444]Got bogarted by some guys tryna rob him out his Izod
[01:40.930]Lacoste or Polo, not to be confused with Ralph Lauren
[01:43.865]Like it's mischief night, mischievous dudes was out tourin'
[01:47.046]Tryna pick a fight or to pimp the system or just livin' life
[01:50.508]I be tryna get into some mischief of a different type
[01:53.712]We'd stay on the phone like we was grown, if you recall
[01:56.641]'Til your pops'd get the chip and then I'd holler at you tomorrow
[01:59.849]Makin' mixtapes, Stevie Wonder, Stacy Lattisaw
[02:03.058]New Edition, Switch, Patty need some Williams and DeBarge
[02:06.265]Driftin' in the dawn, everything was innocent and pure
[02:09.488]Fast forward, I know ain't nobody innocent no more
[02:12.694]We lost the human connection like the ligament was torn
[02:15.885]I'm just reminiscin' back when kissin' wasn't against the law
[02:19.101]Listen
