Brother Ali:Rain Water - Atmosphere[00:00:00]
Uh into motherf**kin' thin air [00:00:25]
Like it's never even been there [00:00:28]
My joy done left me y'all [00:00:30]
Shit I never hang my head man [00:00:40]
CHORUS[00:00:42]
And God's rain water flow through the same gutter[00:00:44]
That we walk today gotta stay brave brotha [00:00:46]
Keep you your lip stiff keep your fist clenched [00:00:49]
At times you gotta kick your way through this bitch [00:00:51]
And I can't stop feelin' guilty smilin' [00:00:54]
A wise man once told me that every cloud has a silver linin' [00:00:56]
I wanted to believe him but its a trick to find em'[00:01:00]
When the people around me continue dyin' [00:01:03]
Grandad was in the twilight of his life[00:01:05]
When he closed his eyes tight and opened his wrists wide [00:01:08]
What make a tenth round fighter with a winning score[00:01:10]
Decide he need to throw the towel before the whistle blow [00:01:13]
Maybe I'll never know but I inherited his poetic soul[00:01:16]
So the sybolism's yet to show [00:01:20]
Is life so obscene that death's more serine [00:01:21]
Or was an old auther trying to write his own closing scene [00:01:24]
Nothin stings like knowin that the woman who gave me this life is being eaten from the inside [00:01:27]
I thought we'd never make shit right [00:01:32]
I wish I'd have viewed it once clear[00:01:34]
Before you were done here [00:01:36]
That's two in one year that I let leave here [00:01:37]
Lovin' me without shedding one single tear [00:01:40]
Either I'm one of the strongest people left[00:01:43]
Or ya'll should stone me for even trying to steal breath [00:01:45]
And God's rain water flow through the same gutter[00:01:48]
That we walk today gotta stay brave brotha [00:01:51]
Keep you your lip stiff keep your fist clenched [00:01:53]
At times you gotta kick your way through this bitch[00:01:56]
And God's rain water flow through the same gutter[00:01:59]
That we walk today gotta stay brave brotha [00:02:01]
Keep you your lip stiff keep your fist clenched [00:02:04]
At times you gotta kick your way through this bitch[00:02:06]
They say "Shit scrapper you all by yourself ain't ya "[00:02:09]
Damn straight I got a jail cell nature [00:02:13]
Been boxed up but I've never been settled in [00:02:15]
Then got tough started developing leather skin [00:02:18]
I learned to make that face that tells predators[00:02:21]
It's better to reassess just who you bout to wrestle with [00:02:23]
I'm on one like the first kick drum of the beat [00:02:26]
Clear my lungs spit blood on the street [00:02:29]
They tellin me we got nothing to fear but fear itself[00:02:31]
But I fear I have no human fear left [00:02:34]
Someday I'm gonna wanna peel back these calluses[00:02:37]
And really feel life again and that where my challenge is [00:02:40]
I've been kickin and bitin for so long[00:02:42]
That when they throw me a rescue rope I'll be too weary to hold on[00:02:45]
And see the light So I sing through the tears[00:02:48]
In the key of life the way a wounded ego might [00:02:51]
And God's rain water flow through the same gutter[00:02:53]
That we walk today gotta stay brave brotha [00:02:55]
Keep you your lip stiff keep your fist clenched [00:02:58]
At times you gotta kick your way through this bitch[00:03:01]
And God's rain water flow through the same gutter[00:03:04]
That we walk today gotta stay brave brotha [00:03:06]
Keep you your lip stiff keep your fist clenched [00:03:09]
At times you gotta kick your way through this bitch[00:03:11]
BRIDGE[00:03:14]
My joy done left me ya'll [00:03:16]
She don't show her face around these parts [00:03:17]
Every time she come she gets chased off [00:03:20]
So she stays distant [00:03:23]
If it weren't for me squintin he wouldn't know the sun was out [00:03:25]
Verse 3[00:03:25]
I hate every word that come out of his f**kin mouth [00:03:28]
Ladies treat him special don't know nothin bout him [00:03:31]
If they saw what his wife see they wouldn't fuss about him [00:03:34]
He can't do shit right but rap and make babies[00:03:36]
And babies need daddy at home consistent [00:03:39]
But rap keep daddy on the road religious [00:03:41]
So even in my two loves my soul is so conflicted [00:03:44]
My son came into this world innocent[00:03:47]
And he deserves everything that needs to live in it [00:03:49]
And this home I made for him is broken [00:03:52]
I'm hopin his love for me will never grow thin [00:03:55]
It hurts daddy to know and to know when[00:03:57]
You were cryin at the hospital I'm out tryin to rock a show [00:04:00]
I made a vow that we'd never be broke again[00:04:03]
And I'd never be a burden on another friend [00:04:06]
So when I've sweated on my farewell stage [00:04:08]
When I've wrote my last hook in my last rhyme book [00:04:11]
When I get the last nod of approval from my family [00:04:14]
This is the man I have to be [00:04:16]
And God's rain water flow through the same gutter[00:04:19]
That we walk today gotta stay brave brotha [00:04:21]
Keep you your lip stiff keep your fist clenched [00:04:24]
At times you gotta kick your way through this bitch[00:04:27]
And God's rain water flow through the same gutter[00:04:30]
That we walk today gotta stay brave brotha [00:04:32]
Keep you your lip stiff keep your fist clenched [00:04:35]
At times you gotta kick your way through this bitch[00:04:38]
And God's rain water flow through the same gutter[00:04:40]
That we walk today gotta stay brave brotha [00:04:43]
Keep you your lip stiff keep your fist clenched [00:04:45]
At times you gotta kick your way through this bitch[00:04:48]
And God's rain water flow through the same gutter[00:04:52]
That we walk today gotta stay brave brotha [00:04:54]
Keep you your lip stiff keep your fist clenched [00:04:56]
At times you gotta kick your way through this bitch[00:04:59]
Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone You ever felt that way[00:05:14]
