Tech N9ne - The P.A.S.E.O. (The Poem Aaron Saw Extra Ordinary) Lyrics

[** feat. Big Krizz Kaliko:]


[Intro:]
If I ever go away*
If I ever go
If I ever go away
I want everybody that loves me to be...

[Chorus (2x):]
Riddin P.A.S.E.O., riddin the day though.
Cherish the day, but then roll out when the day go.
Riddin away yo,
Pain and sorrow.
Live for today cause you may not see tomorrow.

[Verse 1:]
Roses are red and violets are blue,
And we all get purple rain when you put together the two.
True.
Let's talk about this street I know,
Mida mida you'll always need it when it's time for me to go.
I spent my whole life on this KC street.
The P.A.S.E.O where the real stay and the fake sees heat,
Ganagstas lay low, get the queso, and every day breathe deep,
But when the day goes, all the brods out cause the babies sleep.
On P.A.S.E.O. I remenice,
If they love me then give them this.
Never know when your gone cause this life is so hit and miss.
Cry for me never, just have a ball with each other,
Cause that what I had.Thanks goes out to my father and mother.
And I love you so momma,
If I were ever happen to go momma,
I think there something you should know momma.
I stayed away cause I was tryin' to become something,
Give a house to that one woman,
The reason everyone's bumpin'!

[Chorus: x2]
Riddin P.A.S.E.O., riddin the day though.
Cherris the day, but then roll out when the day go.
Riddin away yo,
Pain and sorrow.
Live for today cause you might not see tomarrow

[Verse 2:]
Let's take a journey startin at 85th,
Roll some of my latest hits.
Off 85th
Came back form cali and then I stayed with Chris.
Off 76th, my first baby was concived.
Off 75th, was with Slo Moe in conditions you wouldn't believe
74th and P.A.S.E.O. on the corner
Slept with a A-K from my hommie Skooll, if anybody come through that door was a gonner.
64th I ate balogona,
And kicked it with Mac and Sonja.
In French Village I sold dope for my folks, in a place with a crack arroma.
63rd street is the land and the Bishop Hogan,
Demandin ya'll just keep roamin.
Expandin on this strip strollin.
Masterd music on 61st,
And if didn't use it wouldn't spit this verse.
This is how you find me, full of demons havin to hit me first.
Right off 58th I lived from 12 to 17
With Balsima, Kahramin, Marty, Hassen, and Hakahim.
57th and 56th I had a ball, I learned some tricks, I learned some schemes,
From my home boys ya'll know what I mean?
RDV's 55th Paul's liquor tryin talk slick you if crazy,
Results in getting stompped by Doc and Stu Baby .
Keep riddin P.A.S.E.O for me if you rollin solo to night,
Just keep on thinkin marco polp for life when ya...

[Chorus: x2]
Riddin P.A.S.E.O., riddin the day though.
Cherris the day, but then roll out when the day go.
Riddin away yo,
Pain and sorrow.
Live for today cause you might not see tomarrow

[Verse 3:]
What up P.A.S.E.O. high? 49 street
On 47th is Gates and sons where Tech N9ne eats.
39th at the bootleg I use to find peace,
But at the Skattish right on Lynnwood, the Mason's and Time's meet.
I use to kick it on 27th and 28th true slate.
Carefull you migh find yourself off in that piece if you hate
19th was my familys curch tried to save me, to late.
Cause doin shows on 18th and Vine, that was my true fate.
Mary Lou Willams was my aunt, 9th where I was raised
Way minor way back in the day,
They use to fight and no one wolud spray
But now off Independence ave. I hear my son Donnie,
Sayin that he hear gunshots every night on 5th And it scares his momma Ronnie.
End of the road 29 north to the brigde.
If I go I'm leavin' everything to my wife and my kids.
Travis if I go whatever my half is you give her,
And no funeral just throw my ashes in the missouri river.
Love.

Riddin P.A.S.E.O., riddin the day though.
Cherris the day, but then roll out when the day go.
Riddin away yo,
Pain and sorrow.
Live for today cause you might not see tomarrow
