I got so much trouble on my mind[00:00:00]

So I take time[00:00:12]

Out my day[00:00:15]

To pray and I say[00:00:16]

Now I lay me down to sleep[00:00:18]

Hopin' that I keep[00:00:19]

My soul[00:00:20]

Peep I'm gettin' old[00:00:21]

And it's a cold cold world[00:00:22]

And I ain't even got a bomber[00:00:24]

Livin' with my momma[00:00:25]

It's the same routine[00:00:27]

Keep my room clean[00:00:28]

I'm lookin' to do some new things but ain't ****to do[00:00:29]

I'm twenty two catch[00:00:32]

In the prime of my life[00:00:33]

I have no time for a wife[00:00:34]

I funnel through the tunnel[00:00:36]

Disgruntled tryin' to find me some light[00:00:38]

In the rim of darkness[00:00:39]

Aiight you sing I may not be the darkest[00:00:41]

Brotha[00:00:44]

But I was always told to act my age and not my color[00:00:44]

Knowin' that my color was that of the original[00:00:48]

So now I sing the new negro spiritual[00:00:50]

It goes get up stand up etc[00:00:55]

It's like how can you understand the pain[00:01:01]

When you never had to stand under the rain[00:01:06]

When it rains it pours and it's about to come down hard[00:01:10]

Thank god I found you[00:01:15]

As I walk down the road of existence[00:01:18]

I get resistance[00:01:29]

From all angles[00:01:29]

I tangle[00:01:31]

For cash[00:01:31]

Hopin' it'll last[00:01:33]

'Til the end of the week[00:01:35]

But all I eat is fast food[00:01:38]

And you know how junk food goes right through ya[00:01:40]

So I return to the arab[00:01:42]

And on the way back[00:01:43]

I stop and the liquor store[00:01:45]

Grab me a six pack[00:01:46]

Knowin' that once I'm done with that I'll be back[00:01:48]

To get some more[00:01:50]

Once I get started I don't wanna stop[00:01:51]

And I can't turn around[00:01:53]

Brew I can't turn it down[00:01:55]

Ironically I turn it up[00:01:57]

My liver I burn it up[00:01:57]

Fat line[00:01:58]

It's my life I live it up[00:01:59]

The cup I gotta give it up[00:02:00]

One day[00:02:02]

I'm cruisin' down a one way street and I done passed fun day[00:02:03]

Three blocks ago[00:02:07]

It itself life is an obstacle[00:02:08]

As I maneuver through the manure I try to be responsible[00:02:10]

I want a job but I ain't lookin how come[00:02:13]

I ain't tryin' to degrade myself bein' nobody's calvin[00:02:16]

But I'm a couch bum what makes it bad I had incentive[00:02:18]

But I disintegrated[00:02:22]

To a state that's stagnated[00:02:23]

I procrastinated[00:02:25]

I can't recall a day without bein' intoxicated[00:02:25]

Or blowed[00:02:28]

Ain't dealin' with a full deck and any day I could fold[00:02:28]

What makes it bad I wasn't dealt that bad a hand[00:02:33]

And I had a plan[00:02:36]

But things didn't go through[00:02:37]

The way they were supposed to[00:02:38]

Thank god I found you[00:02:41]

It's like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder[00:02:58]

How I keep from goin' under I ponder[00:03:06]

And try to keep my concentration[00:03:08]

In this idiotic nation[00:03:10]

Adjacent[00:03:12]

To that situation[00:03:12]

I want an occupation[00:03:17]

That I'm into[00:03:17]

'Cause yet if I begin to[00:03:17]

Live to my potential[00:03:21]

I went to[00:03:22]

School for fourteen years and my best teacher was experience[00:03:23]

I reminisce and wish[00:03:26]

I could go back in time to eighty nine[00:03:27]

When there was just sunshine[00:03:29]

But now it's like I'm gettin' older to so much strain and stress[00:03:31]

I don't think I'll ever be happpy until I rest[00:03:34]

In peace[00:03:40]

Of mind[00:03:41]

And find[00:03:51]

Who I am[00:04:00]

But thank god I found you[00:04:02]
