We were born and raised in black and white The wind blows hard across the Texas planes Makes some people go insane While others quietly pray for rain That's where we came from Two boys playing in the burning sun One with books, one with guns Mama calls

I know the streets will shed tears for me (They love me, dawg) When the cold wind blows in the heart of the city and I'm gone When my story is over and my song is done All I get is mother fuckin' love in these streets To most of these tricks I'm a mother

Some like this and some like that And some don't know where it's at If you don't get loose, If you don't groove Well, your motor won't make it And your motor won't move Easy come, easy go Any way the wind blows If time don't tell you then don't ask me

I ride it like a wave I'm down for wherever it takes me I ride it, I ride it like a wave I'm waiting at the shore with my arms wide open Wind blowing in my hair, let the sea salt soak in Coming at me full force, do this with my eyes closed, yeah Just

I'm no candle that can be blowin' out in the wind I'm no suffering like, the game I'm in I'm no street walker, I got fire and brimstone Sorry to disturb you, and your happy home All bets are off now, when the fire hits the sea I'm gonna lay it on you

The summer wind The summer wind came blowin' in From across the sea It lingered there to touch your hair And walk with me All summer long We sang a song And then we strolled that golden sand Two sweethearts

And which way the wind blows When this day is done Tomorrow is a new day for everyone, Brand new moon, brand new sun So follow, follow the sun, Follow, follow the sun Breathe, breathe in the air Set your intentions Dream with care
