A question was raised to me the other day | |
"Why it seem you always have joy?" | |
Well, I'd like to take time to set the record straight.. | |
All the joy I've ever known | |
Has disappeared | |
- in the mother****in thin air | |
Like it's never even been there | |
My joy left me y'all | |
(Chorus) | |
God's rain water flow through the same gutter | |
That we, walk today gotta stay brave brother | |
Keep your lips stiff, keep your fist clenched | |
At times you gotta kick your way through this bitch | |
(Verse 1) | |
And I can't stop feelin guilty smiling | |
A wise man once told me that every cloud has a silver lining | |
I wanted to believe him but it's a trick to find 'em | |
When the people around me continue dying | |
Granddad was in the twilight of his life | |
When he closed his eyes tight and opened his wrists wide | |
What make a tenth round fighter with the winning score | |
Decide he need to throw the towel before the whistle blow | |
Maybe I'll never know | |
But I inherited his poetic soul so the symbolism's yet to show | |
Was life so obscene that death's more serene? | |
Or was an old author tryin to write his own closing scene? | |
Nothing stings like knowing that the woman that gave me this life | |
Is being eaten from the inside | |
I thought we never make shit right | |
I wish I had viewed it once clear before you were done here | |
That's two in one year that I let leave here | |
Loving me without sheding one single tear | |
Either I'm one of the strongest people left | |
Or y'all should stone me for even tryin to steal breath | |
(Chorus x2) | |
And God's rain water flow through the same gutter | |
That we, walk today gotta stay brave brother | |
Keep your lips stiff, keep your fist clenched | |
At times you gotta kick your way through this bitch | |
(Verse 2) | |
They say shit's strapped but you are by yourself, ain't ya? | |
Damn straight, I got a jail cell nature | |
Been boxed up but I never been settled in | |
Him got tough started developin leather skin | |
I learned to make that face that tells predators | |
It's better to re-assess just who you bout to wrestle with | |
I'm on one like the first kick drum of the beat | |
Clear my lungs, spit blood on the street | |
They tellin me we got nuttin to fear but fear itself | |
But I fear I have no human fear left | |
Some day I'm gonna wanna peel back these calouses | |
And really feel life again and that's what my challenge is | |
I been kickin and bitin for so long and | |
When they throw me a rescue rope I'll be too weary to hold on | |
And see the light, so I sing through the tears | |
In the key of life, the way a wounded eagle might | |
(Chorus x2) | |
And God's rain water flow through the same gutter | |
That we, walk today gotta stay brave brother | |
Keep your lips stiff, keep your fist clenched | |
At times you gotta kick your way through this bitch | |
My joy left me y'all | |
She don't show her face around these parts | |
Every time she come she get chased off | |
So she stay distant | |
(Verse 3) | |
If it wern't for him squintin he wouldn't know the sun was out | |
I hate every word that come outta his ****in mouth | |
Ladies treat him special, don't know nuttin bout him | |
If they saw what his wife see they wouldn't fuss about him | |
He can't do shit right but rap and make babies | |
And babies need daddy at home consistent | |
But rap keep daddy on the road religious | |
So even in my two loves my soul's so conflicted | |
My son came into this world innocent | |
He deserves everything that he needs to live in it | |
And this home I made for him is broken | |
I'm hopin his love for me will never grow thin | |
It hurts daddy to no end to know when | |
You're cryin at the hospital I'm out tryin to rock a show | |
I made a vow that we'd never be broke again | |
And I'd never be a burden on another friend | |
So when I'm sweatin on my farewell stage | |
And wrote my last hook in my last rhyme book | |
When I get my last nod of approval from my family | |
This is the man that I have to be | |
(Chorus x4) | |
And God's rain water flow through the same gutter | |
That we, walk today gotta stay brave brother | |
Keep your lips stiff, keep your fist clenched | |
At times you gotta kick your way through this bitch | |
Sometimes | |
I feel | |
Like I'm Al-most gone |
