Clear View

From I stepped out of prison, I’ve been spitting
God knows my road, it’s been written
So every time I talk to the man, thanks are given
Coming from a mad hood, a mad division
Where man’s vision is strictly man’s mission
It’s all good, the growth and the transition
Still, a man could end up in the back of a van missing
I guess it’s in me, it’s getting windy
And it’s all too familiar, do your history
Bare man running round, looking a victory
And tell a man to the ground and it’s a mystery
Been out of jail 20 months, it’s gone quickly
It ain’t been a smooth run, it’s been prickly
I took my eye off the ground, then it hit me
No more fucking around, I ain’t a pickney
Clear view, clear view
Every day out of jail’s been a blessing this year too
Clear view, clear view
I can see it all clear in the window of the booth
Clear view, clear view
Every day out of jail’s been a blessing this year too
Clear view, clear view
I can see it all clear in the window of the booth
Can’t wait for the day I can say no worries
But every dog has his day, there’s no hurry
It was hard growing up as a man with no mummy
Plus, not having a dad was just bummy
I was in and out them foster homes with no money
Until I got a link for some crow and got fluffy
Looking in the rear view now, it’s been ugly
Clear view into the future now, it seems sunny
Man had to run for the field when it was muddy
While bare man sat on the fence playing buddy
Man wanna talk to me now and act chummy
And all I feel’s a snake alert in man’s tummy
I don’t fuck with bare man now, cause I’m fussy
Can’t hear when them man talk, it goes fuzzy
Dem man hop around so much, they’re like bunnies
Thank God I’ve got to see these things, I’ve been lucky
Clear view, clear view
Every day out of jail’s been a blessing this year too
Clear view, clear view
I can see it all clear in the window of the booth
Clear view, clear view
Every day out of jail’s been a blessing this year too
Clear view, clear view
I can see it all clear in the window of the booth
