about

The Wood is gQ Marley's ninth track of the album and personal favorite. It's ambient nostalgic sound paints a vivid picture of gQ's upbringing and what life was like living in the city of San Antonio, Texas. The song provides us the key to our future by remembering the past and understanding the importance of never forgetting where you came from,

lyrics

Verse 1

God bless the tables pens and pencils
Back in high school those were our only instrumentals
TD dropped the beats I rapped bout the shit I didn't have
No pen and pad I only spit the shit that made my niggas laugh
Like Im ballin but I'm sittin on the bleachers
Even spit a line bout runnin trains on teachers
Now I'm doing shows achieving goals and major features
No street cred I got money on my Visa
See I made raps bout Chromium
Shows on Nickelodeon
My heroes and my heroines instead of fiends on opium
Moms got hypertension so we had to watch her sodium
Been through lots of shit but rap was my Immodium
Now bitches in my condo so it got me takin head counts
Foreplay aint my forte but I'm pretty sure that head counts
Pops was on my ass get to class you better pass
But with the crazy dreams I had a nigga chose the psychopath

Hook (2x) - Screwed and Chopped

Back In the Days
When I was young I'm not a kid anymore
But some days I sit and wish I was a kid again

Verse 2

Used to talk about a life I ain't attained yet
We all got fuckin problems mine just happened in the same bed
Money talks and its the universal language
It even lets you know who's your friend or an acquaintance
In my city its be famous
Fuck an education
Drug dealers over scholars everybody knows a base head
One minute niggas cool then they pullin guns like damn pranks
He used his tool to rob this fool he took his Jewels Anne Franks
Girls turn to women put yo ass in a position
Where you makin bad decision parents warned us never listened
We all have good intentions but its hard to be a Christian
Damn I'm tryna bring her home I be on my SA Missions
Its lust over love the drug of our generation
So I hope that tongue ring aint just there for decoration
Growing up I was the modern day Fez
Now I'm America's Idol Fuck what Simon Says
