Artist: Yancey Boys f/ Common, Dezi Page Album: Sunset Blvd Song: Quicksand Typed by: Gemini_20502K@Yahoo.com [Intro: Dezi Page] Hey! Hey! Heyyyyyyyy!!!! [Chorus: Dezi Page] I always knew I touch the sky With heart full of fire and third eye Steady my vision my climb I, I knew, with all my mind [Verse One: Common] The dream manifesto to get it and don't let go Praises to the most high eyes are kinda set low A man of many faces I rock the crooked smile Since they took off my braces Back on Stoney Isle we was on our own oasis Mild sauce, hot tempers cold cases Huh! I ran the town not knowin it was racist Standin on the deck and smokin aces Grace is the wonderland, I see the face of the sunnah man A fatherless child that made it to the motherland I think how far these raps really took me A veteran in the game I stay fresh like a rookie When I was underground, they use to overlook me Now flicks and book tours make it hard for them to book me The presence of Rah, the essence of a star Jewelry and a car, suggestin who we are The blessings of Jah, that come through us all I'm seasoned y'all I never knew when to fall In the quicksand [Chorus: Dezi Page] I always knew I touch the sky With heart full of fire and third eye Steady my vision my climb I, I knew, with all my mind [Verse Two: Frank Nitt] The picture's been clear since the man's been a shorty Consoldate the dollars go dumb E-40 No pimpin in your jewelry no sleepin with your jewelry off And when you get your chance slam dunk it Ron Turiaf And I did that, me and my guys reppin the city And I hustle with no pity they christen me Frank Nitty And I took that and I ran with itmade a few stacks and some bands with it But then I brought it home a student must then teach his own And I could never dream it could go from the Yancey's basement To be standin up on stages in front of some foreign faces Get love in those foreign places like we from there, and oh yeah They like, where the dollars at? I'm like, I'm a call ya back And please let me clarify, playa I'll be damn if I Ever let the picture fade to black before I say goodbye Spot you like you spotify, Nitty make the song cry I'm a let Illa sing this lullaby, quicksand [Chorus: Dezi Page] I always knew I touch the sky With heart full of fire and third eye Steady my vision my climb I, I knew, with all my mind [Verse Three: Illa J] I heard a hater say I never be more than J. Dilla's little brother I never be more than an insignificent other I never be more than a video stand in But here I am standin When you hater try to leave me in the quicksand Left me outside of the club with no wristband Now I'm pissed off like I'm reppin the Pistons 'Til I came all the way from fuckin Michigan That's when the shit hit the fan then I moved back Had to do my Stella still I had to get my groove back Then I came up with a plan to put my shoes back On I ran hella hella fast until I proved that I could do it while I'm swimmin in the pool of sweat, blood and tears My career I had to keep pursuin that And I could do that, with my eyes closed 'Cause I know I'm fly, always knew I!!!! [Chorus: Dezi Page] I always knew I touch the sky With heart full of fire and third eye Steady my vision my climb I, I knew, with all my mind [Outro: Dezi Page] With my mind! With my mind! With my mind! With my mind! (In all my mind!) With my mind! With my mind! With my mind! With my mind!
