- Common Book Of Life 歌詞
- Common
- I got so much trouble on my mind
So i take time
Out my day
To pray and i say
Now i lay me down to sleep
Hopin that i keep
My soul
Peep, im gettin old
And its a cold cold world
And i aint even got a bomber
Livin with my momma
Its the same routine
Keep my room clean
Im lookin to do some new things but aint shit to do
Im twenty-two - catch
In the prime of my life
I have no time for a wife
I funnel through the tunnel
Disgruntled, tryin to find me some light
In the rim of darkness
Aiight you sing, i may not be the darkest
Brotha
But i was always told to act my age and not my color
Knowin that my color was that of the original
So now i sing the new negro spiritual
It goes get up stand up...etc.
Its like how can you understand the pain
When you never had to stand under the rain
When it rains it pours, and its about to come down hard
Thank god i found you
As i walk down the road of existence
I get resistance
From all angles
I tangle
For cash
Hopin itll last
til the end of the week
But all i eat is fast food
And you know how junk food goes right through ya
So i return to the arab
And on the way back
I stop and the liquor store
Grab me a six pack
Knowin that once im done with that ill be back
To get some more
Once i get started i dont wanna stop
And i cant turn around
Brew - i cant turn it down
Ironically i turn it up
My liver i burn it up (fat line)
Its my life i live it up
The cup i gotta give it up
One day
Im cruisin down a one way street and i done passed fun day
Three blocks ago
It itself life is an obstacle
As i maneuver through the manure i try to be responsible
I want a job but i aint lookin - how come
I aint tryin to degrade myself bein nobodys calvin
But im a couch bum what makes it bad i had incentive
But i disintegrated
To a state thats stagnated
I procrastinated
I cant recall a day without bein intoxicated
Or blowed
Aint dealin with a full deck and any day i could fold
What makes it bad, i wasnt dealt that bad a hand
And i had a plan
But things didnt go through
The way they were supposed to
Thank god i found you
Its like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder
How i keep from goin under, i ponder
And try to keep my concentration
In this idiotic nation
They say become i doctor, but i dont have the patients/patience
Adjacent
To that situation
I want an occupation
That im into
cause yet if i begin to
Live to my potential
I went to
School for fourteen years and my best teacher was experience
I reminisce and wish
I could go back in time to eighty-nine
When there was just sunshine
But now its like im gettin older to so much strain and stress
I dont think ill ever be happpy until i rest
In peace
Of mind
And find
Who i am
But thank god i found you
