Flashback to Stardom - Panacea, Raheem DeVaughn

This is the rebirth of cool right here

Raheem DeVaughn, Panacea

In my lifetime, in my lifetime

It’s where I’ve been

It’s where I’m going

Take a look at me now

Take a look at me now

My child ways used to control my days

Thoughts soft like sounds of Saint-Tropez

Back before a man wasn’t too far from clay

My city was a world that’s too big for me

History shaping me to what I was best to be

Lessons (?) learned from life never was stressin' me

Cloudy days left to me, when viewed respectfully

Let me be limitless, no need for boundaries

It’s a natural high for a natural guy

Or, uh, tired when I was dragged from being outside

I was the Adam and Eve, innocence or survive

The thing we’re born with that’s beginning the lies

Before the color divide made the action the pride of me

The first step to show that I’m gonna rise

Life don’t understand but it make no sense

I tried to sign a house that ain’t got no fence

I need a fence to hide behind to make my life so easy

(?) counting on to lead me

Adventure in my world pumpin' characters gonna greet me

Passin' me the marijuana high 'cause life was easy

Give me back before travels doctor’s gonna treat me

Watching out for certain drugs that fuck up how I be

Escape reality through music and my poetry

And speed-dial my grandma, that’s my Giving Tree

Taking up the sky flying

That’s the old time I keep just like a goldmine

Funny rhyming of life, that’s a slow time

Bring a tear to a grown man’s eye in no time

Hidden in the warmth of my heart, 2Pac the co-times

From G.I.

Joe to Barbie playing a hoe

I knew war and women would play the part in where I would go

Sky high is the limit

Sky high is the limit

You wanna be a doctor, you can do it too

Wanna be a b-ball player, do it too

Wanna be a teacher, you can do it too

Wanna be a rapper, you can do it too

Wanna be a dancer, you can do it too

Wanna be a leader, you can do it too

Wanna be a lawyer, you can do it too

Wanna be a dreamer, you can do it too

Ain’t no limit (ain't no limits)

Ain’t no limit (ain't no limits)

Ain’t no limit (ain't no limits)

Ain’t no limit (look at me now, look at us now)

Ain’t no limit

Ain’t no limit
