[Intro (The Mamas and The Papas)]: (All the leaves are brown...)
And the sky is grey (and the sky is grey...)
I've been for a walk (I've been for a walk...)
On a winter's day (on a winter's day...)
I'd be safe and warm

(All the leaves are brown)
And the sky is grey (and the sky is grey...)
I've been for a walk (I've been for a walk...)
On a winter's day (on a winter's day...)


[Verse One]: Give me mind, give me peace, when will the madness ever cease?
It was all good just a year ago…somethin’ like September, just somethin’ to remember.
Blind in love, drunk in love, lost my focus , you can say I really fucked up.
B Dot said I was Man Of The Year, that was ancient - yesteryear.
What a fall of man, a fall of grace, mama just said to pick up my face.
Off the ground that it remains, (yeah, yeah...) pops said that everything will change.
Faces to people that are closest, 2014 showed all the low hits.
Lost my girl, let me dig into that – what, y’all think I wasn’t speaking on that?
Two sides to something that’s pretty straight forward, filled of bullshit and awkward moments.
How you gonna act like you ain’t love the man? When I was one of few who put up with jams?
Sacrificed me, mind and homies, the ones you was tryin to jump on, those homies.
How you 5 years older, acting like a brat? How you 5 years older, gonna spaz like that?
You gon’ learn today, if not, soon, can’t put the paws on ya cause I gotta bloom.
Gotta flourish, finesse, let a young man rumble! You didn’t give a damn if I stumbled or crumbled!
I been for that walk already, when I jump to another, you can bet I’m ready.
Aw, here it goes, aw, here’s the foes, can’t chase y’all through these rabbit holes!
Do I look like Alice and the rabbit (rabbit)? Take my ex, you can have it (have it).
The lack of trust--she’s insecure, no hope and faith to ever move forward!

[Bridge #1]: I ain’t sure who got my back, so, let’s see who really bout that.
She took me with her, my world got dark, takin a total eclipse of the heart.
Where do I start? Where do I end? Let me leave a mark and let the story begin.
So, when the story begins…let’s see if I win. If I win, then my darkness ends.
When the darkness ends…the light begins. When the light begins, BDaMan 2 is in.
Oh yes, I’m in…oh, lord, just let me in!

[Verse Two]: Wish I never met you! Must’ve been my fate, let me save the rest for 10th Wonder’s sake.
People were on me like paparazzi, I swear I couldn’t breathe like the dice in Yahtzee!
I appreciate concern, I gotta be secluded, all of this got my mind polluted.
Can’t guess my logic or psyche, I’m Bruce Almighty with a Mask and Nikes.
Jumanji with the Doubtfire put me in a Birdcage, a big man with too much rage.
Morph me into Planet of the Apes, superhero who ripped off the cape.
Say hello to the bad guy, slick back like Razor Ramon, I’m gone!
This evolution ain’t no mystery, it’s history, no conspiracy!
So, let’s stop…

[Bridge #2 (The Mamas and The Papas)]: If I was in L.A. (if I was in L.A.)
California dreamin' (California dreamin')
On such a winter's day...

Stopped into a church....

[Bridge #3]: I stopped at the church parking lot, St. Joan Of Arc is where I thought a lot.
Your eyes and ears be blown away, the many days where I spoke grey.
Damn near black, wanted to attack, but the tears just flow when the wind blows.
Peel your forehead back at my mentality, felt alone as hell, thanks to…

[Verse Three]: Be mad at me for the truth I spit, for the stories I tell, real brotha shit!
On my mother shit, lost my crew cause of you, now I resent you and them a lil’ too!
Gotta say it, had to say it, had to do it, no hard feelings, but I can’t conceal it.
Got “Das Boot”, felt real pissed off, all the hard work and dedication didn’t pay off.
Erased from the vault, forgotten real quick, because of this bitch and acting like a dick.
That’s real shit: Almost lost B Dot, Phil and Corey, last of my brotherhood inventory.
Wasn’t sleeping right, living right…acting right, had no rhymes to recite.
Am I bitter? Hell yeah! (Hell yeah!) All of that, that done failed (done failed)!
From the winter to the early summer, May was the Stone Cold Stunner.
The cherry on top of destruction, to everybody else, that was end of discussion.
Let the caged bird sing, let the beast unleash, let the bell tolls ring.
R.I.P. to that year like many, R.I.P to my old like a cemetery.
Way too cold, in the heart and the veins, I spit and curb stomp the old remains.
Taking new reigns on my life right now, made the catch like Dez in the 4th Quarter, wow!
We gonna count that and everything forward, we gonna move on and push on onwards!
Still got love for my guys in New Life, just saying how I felt when they hit the verbal welts.
Once was pissed, now I’m grateful, lost the devil who I thought was an angel.
Had a Plan B, but I miss Plan A, not that one, meant the crew and those days.
A New Beginning and the Mondays, filled of laughs, fun in ways.
I walk by all these trees, reminisce on the Brown Leaves…
What you may not perceive, all I saw was Brown Leaves…(Brown Leaves, Brown Leaves, Brown Leaves...)
