| They say as long as you don’t ask for more than your share, the world will
|
| never give you more than you can bare. |
| Bear with me
|
| The butt of every joke when other folks would play foul. |
| Life is a bitter tool
|
| of ridicule that they plow. |
| Enough to make the even great bow. |
| How else can you
|
| explain or say how what happened to Junior Seau. |
| Conversations with my pops,
|
| crying as he packing my mother’s clothes in a box. |
| It’s hard to watch just
|
| seeing what type of state he’s in. It never dawned on me, like what if he wants
|
| to date again? |
| And if he does could I accept it? |
| And if he chooses to would my
|
| mother be disrespected? |
| Nobody knows what it’s like to become a widower,
|
| to lose the one you love and move on, does that belittle her? |
| Try to
|
| reconsider what litters a person’s soul. |
| For years I had a problem with
|
| reaching for certain goals. |
| What did satan say to Eve? |
| Just God and the serpent
|
| knows. |
| From the day I hit the stage and that final curtain close
|
| I feel like getting high to forget about life. |
| A n**** need something just to
|
| feel alright all night all right. |
| Let me float away, just another day,
|
| we looking to wipe the shame or something to numb the pain
|
| I feel like getting high to forget about life. |
| A n**** need something just to
|
| feel alright all night all right. |
| Let me float away, just another day,
|
| we looking to wipe the shame or something to numb the pain
|
| I used to want to be rich and wife a chick that’s gorgeous. |
| Now I just want to
|
| help my father pay his mortgage. |
| Now I just want to see my brother finish
|
| school and make sure my nieces and nephews are there see him through.
|
| I’m seeing through what you perceive as true plus you taught me growing up was
|
| more important than being cool. |
| But you would tease him too, being cruel was
|
| the topic. |
| They told me I wasn’t black and said I was adopted. |
| Adopted a style
|
| and swag, protect me from what they had in store but hit my core,
|
| confided within dad. |
| I compensated to compensate for my melanin or lack there
|
| of scared of the inner hell in him. |
| But what’s propelling him can make a n*****
|
| eyes welt. |
| I never thought I’d see the day my father needed my help.
|
| I guess we all gotta grow until the day I touch the grave and that final
|
| curtain close
|
| I feel like getting high to forget about life. |
| A n**** need something just to
|
| feel alright all night all right. |
| Let me float away, just another day,
|
| we looking to wipe the shame or something to numb the pain
|
| I feel like getting high to forget about life. |
| A n**** need something just to
|
| feel alright all night all right. |
| Let me float away, just another day,
|
| we looking to wipe the shame or something to numb the pain
|
| So let the motherf****** record show. |
| The question ain’t why we get high but
|
| why is a n**** low? |
