And the crack in the dam
What's the problem with this town?
I would change the past if I could have one wish
In the darkness, I'm forced to adapt to this
These hard times got me stuck
I gotta put that down
That follows me everywhere I go
I ain't a saint but I've got joi de vivre
Can you bare the thought of knowing truth?
I've got a little black cloud
Break mirrors in half just to test the aftermath
Trade my torches for a dime
My game remains no matter the pain, I stay the charmer
It embeds the type of thoughts that's got a lot of brothers dead
The pressure's fading now
I'm the monkey on your back
In the form of a black cloud
And I'm the type of brother that's smarter than most
It takes over me
Stuck in a jam
The smarter brother knows to keep his foes close
If I walked under a ladder would it matter?
To all those old sayings
The pressure's fading now
Hoping then, my luck would change
The epic, not only a name a definition
I can't complain about it or even let regret
Trade my torches for a dime
I've got a lot to learn and I've got money to spend
What goes around comes around and it ain't got me yet
The pressure's fading away now
Knowing truth?
'Cuz if I kill a spider, would my house catch on fire?
Disastrous, took time to master this
That follows me everywhere I go
A bad boy since birth, so I can't forget
Black clouds lifted for the light
To pretend is reaping more than sowing ever could mend
The pressure's fading away now
And the past is just a map to capture this
The cure to make sure my karma can't take me down
The don of karma, I navigate like the Dalai Lama
Knowing truth
The pressure's fading away now
And I'm the one to blame if the cloud rains on me
I've got a little black cloud
Life on the edge, fuels the sickness in my head
I've gotten wise in my age and tame the threat of my rage
I'm sick, I've got a real ill disposition
My karma's crashing down
Can you bare the thought of knowing truth?
My decisions put me in the wrong positions
Now here comes the rain, I project my pain
A thousand cigarettes won't change the way we feel
It takes over me
Is a penny really lucky if you find it on the ground?
Up to the same old tricks, I wonder if I'll stick around
My intentions are pure but there's a cure for my condition
I can't figure it out
Trying to make sense of these crazy things
Chasing pipe dreams of fame and recognition
There's no telling what could happen next
I'm getting high for a living, not giving a fuck
I'm a diamond in the rough, could I suffer enough?
A cold hearted overdose of lyrical antidotes
Provoke the energy it takes
I was rapping in the rain
Black clouds lifted for the light
Knowing truth?
The pressure's fading away now
And if there's any truth
A thousand cigarettes won't change the way we feel
Life is so complex
For me to get upset
I tend to laugh when black cats cross my path
