Pete Philly & Perquisite - Mystery Repeats

Mystery repeats
Life got tricks but it treats too
Love my ancestry yo I see you

Y'all lived with me
So I'mma live through you
Continue this beautiful cycle

History always tries to enlighten you
How much been decided for you
You don't know, so you just go
As far as you can go, but go slow
Hey yo

Know this I've noticed
What it is about closed lids
Seperating real from the fake and bogus
Sitting at the dock of the bay like Otis
We just slide, do this thing called life
Everything gon’ be alright
As you stay true to the path that’s inside

Mystery repeats 4x What if I never went and smoked that first spliff
What if I never gave Sam that first kiss
What if I never even heard EPMD
Would you still notice me?

What if I never went and heard Perq's first demo
Gave him a call "To the crib" (hello)
Would I still been known as the fellow
Rolling with the dude with the cello

What if these questions arise
As I look in my eyes
And I see my own surprise
Wondering what path lies before me
Probably the same as the ones before me
And I Pass it right down to my seed
A mystery indeed
I'd tell him how proud I'll be
Go ahead make history

As the newborn starts to breathe
As the widow starts to grieve
It seems that mystery repeats itself all over
As the newborn starts to breathe
As the widow starts to grieve
It seems that mystery repeats itself all over
