Happy - Killah Priest[00:00:00]
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah[00:00:03]
A homeless man smiles[00:00:10]
At me showing no teeth[00:00:11]
A young man laying dead[00:00:13]
In the cold streets[00:00:14]
He was a victim beaten[00:00:16]
Bad by the police[00:00:17]
And everyday another funeral[00:00:18]
There's more grief[00:00:20]
And everyday I like to pray[00:00:21]
When I see the Sun[00:00:22]
And if there ever was a[00:00:24]
Lost Tribe we the one[00:00:25]
And every hood there's a project[00:00:26]
With us in it[00:00:28]
The old man in the dust[00:00:29]
Going nuts finished[00:00:30]
Years before you say[00:00:32]
"You used to own businesson tax [00:00:33]
I guess you're black [00:00:35]
You gotta know you limit"[00:00:36]
And everybody tried to be[00:00:37]
Happy someway[00:00:39]
I think of dinners in the winter[00:00:40]
On a Sunday[00:00:41]
And everybody's poor[00:00:42]
But we always pull through it[00:00:43]
'Cause of Marvin's influence [00:00:45]
We always played his music[00:00:46]
My Pops said he was a[00:00:47]
'Trouble Man' courtesy of Uncle Sam[00:00:49]
Then I hit the streets then start hustling[00:00:51]
But I could see my Grandma[00:00:53]
When she dressed for Church[00:00:54]
Her stylish hat white dress[00:00:56]
With the matching purse[00:00:57]
And I could hear her sing aloud[00:00:58]
With the choir marching in[00:01:00]
With the face of joy [00:01:01]
Proud of her heart's with him[00:01:02]
And she could live everlasting[00:01:04]
And pure peace[00:01:05]
No longer worried eyes [00:01:06]
Speaks to him before sleep[00:01:07]
And I stood by the door[00:01:09]
When she came at me[00:01:10]
She said "You gotta endure[00:01:12]
And learn to be Happy"[00:01:13]
Stood right beside me [00:01:14]
Look deep inside me[00:01:16]
She has inspired me to be Happy[00:01:19]
Stood right beside me [00:01:24]
Look deep inside me[00:01:27]
She has inspired me to be Happy[00:01:30]
My friend wrote his mother:[00:01:36]
"Mama I'm doing better now[00:01:37]
My last year of College [00:01:38]
Told you I wouldn't let you down[00:01:39]
And how's things around the house [00:01:41]
I know you're still fussing[00:01:42]
I finally heard from Ralphie said[00:01:43]
"He had a deal coming"[00:01:45]
He wrote me last week;[00:01:46]
Told me him and Dad don't speak[00:01:47]
They both be acting[00:01:49]
They're kids if you ask me[00:01:50]
But anyway [00:01:52]
How come you never wrote me back [00:01:52]
This is like my fourth letter to you [00:01:54]
I was hoping that [00:01:56]
You could send me something[00:01:57]
It's getting cold winter's coming[00:01:58]
I know you're standing laughing [00:01:59]
Saying "I'm up or into something"[00:02:01]
I love you mom sincerely yours" [00:02:02]
As the nurse pause[00:02:04]
From reading her his letter [00:02:05]
Body attached to a cord[00:02:06]
Into a breathing pump [00:02:07]
The stroke she had was too much[00:02:08]
She's in the coma [00:02:10]
Been that way for a few months[00:02:11]
And if her son knew believe[00:02:13]
He'll split in two[00:02:14]
And go back to using drug[00:02:15]
Before quitting school[00:02:17]
But just smile[00:02:18]
'Cause your mother's still here[00:02:19]
Try to live and be proud [00:02:20]
Make a heart full of cheer[00:02:22]
For your mama tranquility she's free[00:02:23]
Give your heart space[00:02:26]
And liberty and then peace[00:02:27]
The words are golden [00:02:29]
Emotion devotion[00:02:30]
Just hush feel the touch for a moment[00:02:31]
My life's a paradox [00:02:34]
Watched by crooked cops[00:02:35]
But the law carries me just to be[00:02:37]
Stood right beside me [00:02:39]
Look deep inside me[00:02:42]
She has inspired me to be Happy[00:02:44]
Stood right beside me [00:02:50]
Look deep inside me[00:02:52]
She has inspired me to be Happy[00:02:55]
Dedicated to my grandmother [00:03:01]
Miss Louise Staley[00:03:03]
I love you Grandma[00:03:07]
