What are you doing today? Do you remember what you wanted to be when you were growing up? The gleam in your eyes? We're all going through our journeys in life, the 9-5, parenthood, and our acceptance of reality inevitably changes. It is our experiences that shape us.

Tone Famous, along with the angelic, jazzy vocals of Lisa Movado, take us on a story that covers his departure from his youthful past and his march into the next adventure. What's yours?

LYRICS:

INTRO:
You and me together, we were friends, oh

Dear Lord, will I make it?
I know I've been prayin' a lot lately
I guess I'm just trying to say thank you
Yeah, this from the heart

VERSE:
I know, I know, I know
That I need to pause
Take a moment for the God, give me keys to the car
Squeeze a g up out a dollar with some copper to borrow
The bottom of the barrel, I don't care apparel is torn
And I leave tomorrow
When the leaves start to fall, cold breeze
Throw peace to my sorrows
There's no need... to say goodbye to the past
Good God, this is freedom at last
Believe in dreams, it will lead us to cash
Though, money's never first, I bet I earn that shit fast, yeah
I'm wormin' through dirt and I'm workin' for scraps, damn
Used to be a pessimist, a deficit of positive
Probably as a lost kid
Can my momma live?
Me and my pops turned to opposites
He only hollers when he needs some shit, damn
Yet I still love him, knowing that he got my back when I'm thuggin'
Picked me up from the Taraval station
Thank God they didn't lock me up for possession of a weapon
Said I'm thankful
Blessings from an angel
Love me with no angles
Anger used to strangle Tone Famous
Patience and strangely...
I'm accustomed to the danger, yeah

CHORUS:
You and me together, we were friends
Dreams we'd pretend to reach, no sleep
We'd seek adventures, now we can
Achieve our peak and we speak as men
You and me together, we were friends
Dreams we'd pretend to reach, no sleep
We'd seek adventures, now we can
Achieve our peak and we speak as men

VERSE:
Now I know you got soul
You never sold out
I never hold doubt anymore than a portion
Being poor is like porcelain
I remember those mornings when I would ride on Highway 1
All alone with my thoughts and a gun
What happened to that life full of fun?
Now it's life full of funds
Is this what we've become?
Full of weed in my lungs, walk the streets bein' drunk and numb
Enough!
All the heartaches, pump the car brakes
I pump my fist high, it's what the heart takes, I know
I know, know it's tough, the workload
When work is first over your first born soldier
I told her to go farther than stars and her father
I marvel at her charm and her calm, that's my daughter!

CHORUS:
You and me together, we were friends
Dreams we'd pretend to reach, no sleep
We'd seek adventures, now we can
Achieve our peak and we speak as men
You and me together, we were friends
Dreams we'd pretend to reach, no sleep
We'd seek adventures, now we can
Achieve our peak and we speak as men

BREAKDOWN:
We got to believe in our dreams
'Cause ultimately they come from the one above
'Cause think of all the places we can see, and all the things we can do
Adventures we seek

CHORUS:
You and me together, we were friends
Dreams we'd pretend to reach, no sleep
We'd seek adventures, now we can
Achieve our peak and we speak as men
You and me together, we were friends
Dreams we'd pretend to reach, no sleep
We'd seek adventures, now we can
Achieve our peak and we speak as men

OUTRO:
As I lay my head to rest
Never second guess
Goodnight and good morning

Tone Famous illuminates his story in the San Francisco Bay Area as an Asian-American of Thai and Cambodian descent, his attempts to remain an upstanding kid but engulfed in recklessness, finding spirituality within the madness, frustration with society’s values and overt contradictions, battling with his parents’ generational gaps, and how Hip-Hop has been a guiding strength through it all.
