too close to the tv - passport rav lyrics

[intro]
what it, what it…? (uh)
what it, what it…?

[verse 1]
you put me onto heltah skeltah
and 64 nintendos, the lady heart*melter
bill clinton was in office then, we thought he was the man
and didn’t know he was creatin’ more orphans then
you was the closest kin, can’t believe so many years passed
it tingle up like tear gas just to think about you
you put me onto everything i knew, from the clothes that i rock
back then, i didn’t have the slightest clue, i was the lost child
karl kani on c*n*l street, no rothschild
long as them tags looked real; had it hard, pal
thеm other kids, they had it tougher
with drug*addictеd parents, thank god for them grandmothers
i ain’t have it the worst, but sure as h*ll ain’t have it easy
just another black boy sittin’ too close to the tv
i ain’t have it the worst, but sure as h*ll ain’t have it easy
just another black boy sittin’ too close to the tv

[chorus]
sittin’ too close to that television
i get self*conscious eatin’ watermelons
‘nother typecast brother on that stereo
they said they want another anthem, so here we go
and everybody just slide to the left, slide to the right
we gettin’ over all of our problems and make it right
on the dead homies, one time * on the dead homies, uh
everybody slide to the left, slide to the right
we gettin’ over all of our problems and make it right
on the dead homies, one time * on the dead homies (uh)
[verse 2]
i feel the spirit of my brother [?]
we was at that battle in orange, you were on some other sh*t
but that was you and only you, and i accept that
you know i loved you from the bottom, don’t regret nothin’
you told me always be myself, don’t let ’em flex on you
i told you, “show up when it’s needed, get them checks, brother”
but your time was summoned like a player on the bench
the universe i call it, allah is how you repented
it’s clear to me that life is but a dream
painted, a facade, it ain’t quite like what it seem
you fightin’ or you scheme to survive
some people dumpster dive to pay another tithe
it’s like that, it makes me wonder why
’cause it is what it is, straightforward, this thing is basic
the sound of the rain never needed a translation
’cause it is what it is, straightforward, this thing is basic
the sound of the rain never needed a translation

[pre*chorus]
let me take you somewhere right now
enjoy this life until it’s lights out
and i be doin’ things that’s like, “wow”
and i be reachin’ places, got me like, “how?”
