| 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 |
