Downtown In My Mind

[verse 1: outasight]

It started at the moment i thought it would

I stepped off the platform into a yellow car

I could not retrieve the road

Windows cracked, my eyes were closed

How will i find my way out?

It ended when i lost my quest forever more

Inclined to roles, response and goals i never saw

There i was, alone again, not giving up but giving in

Now tell me where to go

[hook:]

Downtown in my mind

I'm looking for things i could never find

[verse 2: outasight]

I picked the pieces up and started to question

Why it must be selling out or buying in

Everywhere i look or turn, everyone is so concerned

Yet they have no reply

I'm walking slowly down this block, i swear i saw

The whole world 'round me moving in fast forward

All my movements slowing down

Constant rushing always 'round, i have nowhere to run

[hook x2]

[verse 3: outasight]

Let me state my name, richard andrew, no one the same

Whether doughboy philosopher, no codes, locking 'em

Dope shows, rocking 'em, choice hoes, on top of 'em

Close foes, mocking 'em, none in the vicinity

Sipping merlot in little italy memories

Brush through my mind, paint against canvas

Campus to mansions, burberry j ransom

Sinatra's my life, playing in the back

Like i'm sitting in my grandpa's cadillac

Those who can't see the vision, cataracts

Average stacks, laugh at that

Tailored stacks, roll through my habitat

The constant search for answers seems like they got it

The path to knowledge of self may be chaotic

But i'm on it, won't shut it down like onyx

Hit the mark ecko sentiments of the life complex in the dark
