(Word up, we all over the States, man)
(Travel by train, bus, boat, car or airplane)
(I do my thang)
(I gotta feed my family by all means necessary)
(We all over the States, man)
(Represent, represent, come on)
(I wanna be with you, boo, but I gotta do what I gotta do)
(Goin out for the loot)

[ VERSE 1: Planetary ]
It takes a lot to make your dreams come true
If I could, baby, know that I would leave with you
There's a lot things that me and Crypt still have to do
Our dream is way bigger than havin a fan or two
I mean, the reason that I even do this now
So you never have to work and then college is figured out
Gotta lead that way so they can fill my shoes
Can't walk barefooted, then the grandkids lose
And I was born to win, I gotta teach 'em the same
Gotta make sure they never give up and maintain
I gotta hit that stage, gotta go get paid
Gotta bring it back and flip it a couple of different ways
Don't miss me at all, boys, just hold me down
Help mines with the baby once I go outta town
Don't trip, I'm still just a phone call away
I'm still here every day if you need me either way

[ CHORUS 2X: Reef the Lost Cauze ]
And it feel like I'm a million miles from home
Missin your face, envisionin your smile through the phone
I miss my girl, my baby, and all that I know
But I'm out the door, another tour, another timezone

[ VERSE 2: Reef the Lost Cauze ]
As I lay here watchin you peacefully sleep
Our son against your chest, heartbeat to heartbeat
Searchin for the right words to speak
Tryin hard not to weep
Gotta be strong, for y'all I am weak
Feels like forever but it's only a couple of weeks
I'll be gone but, baby doll, I'm never out of reach
Plus the squad is chillin right up the street
Any problems, call up [Name], he light up the street
She laughed, told me 'Don't trip, it's not an issue
Just know I'm gonna miss you,' from her purse she pulled a tissue
'Can I kiss you?' I ask as I grab her sleeve
My son lookin at me like, 'Daddy, don't leave'
The hardest part of tour life, leavin the babies and your wife
You think you can make this your life?
It ain't easy hurtin hearts till I'm home again
But for now papa back on the road again
I'm gone

(Word up, we all over the States, man)
(Travel by train, bus, boat, car or airplane)
(I do my thang)
(I gotta feed my family by all means necessary)
(We all over the States, man)
(Represent, represent, come on)
(I wanna be with you, boo, but I gotta do what I gotta do)
(Goin out for the loot)

[ VERSE 3: Crypt ]
Yo, when you see my bags packed, save the attitude
Maybe show appreciation, little gratitude
I know it's hard when I bounce, I ain't mad at you
But this is all I got, somethin that I have to do
Cause there's a lot I provide with a mic and a beat
Like the roof on our heads plus the light and the heat
The little things that make our cipher complete
I just ask you hold me down for a couple of weeks
And I got my passport ready, time to cash in
Rock shows crazy, look how they packed in
Most cats can't do it cause they lack gems
Plus they biz ain't correct, they can't rip up the set
Seven shows in a row, that's a Vicious Cycle
Long journey in a bus got me goin psycho
No sleep till Philly, I'm a little stressed
I'm back home, got a feelin I ain't never left

[ CHORUS 2X: Reef the Lost Cauze ]
