Every Year

E-40

Make me feel it uhhh



It's in the heart man



I can feel it right here



It's in the heart man



I can feel it right here man it's real



(Every year about this time)



Every year about this time yessuh



(There's someone like me)



There's always a dark cloud that lingers over the city



There it is



And I wanna preach about it looka here




Every year about this time I get to diggin up



old school memories that I keep stored in the back of the head



in the back of my mind that I always seem to find



When I'm marinatin with my peoples, slappin bones and drinkin wine



Just come home from Quentin, and all I know is strind



Grind, time-uhh, dope game been gone it's either



white collared crime or uhh, clickin da bones



How can I make some sort of dividends



How can I get my mathematics on how can I get in where I fit in



How can I, get in get gone



Every year about this time it's always, someone like me



They uhh, handcuff and shackle, and uhh, throw away the key



Every year about this time it's always, someone like me



They uhh, handcuff and shackle, and uhh, throw away the key




(Every year about this time



There's someone like me



Every year about this time) About this time, uhh



(They lock us up, and throw away the key)




Every year about this time-uhh, oh what a pity 'ater



Spooky dark cloud lingers, over the city uhh



Life and death does it, coincide



Will that, scared man live to tell how, that brave man died



A j-a-just the other day, coulda sworn I heard a brother say



White folks kill they parents, but black folks kill each other



You make the bed you lay in, if this is what you choose



But if you choose to cross the game, then I'd have to break the new
