《Brother Ali：Rain Water》歌词

[00:00:00] Brother Ali：Rain Water - Atmosphere

[00:00:25] Uh into motherf**kin' thin air

[00:00:28] Like it's never even been there

[00:00:30] My joy done left me y'all

[00:00:40] Shit I never hang my head man

[00:00:42] CHORUS

[00:00:44] And God's rain water flow through the same gutter

[00:00:46] That we walk today gotta stay brave brotha

[00:00:49] Keep you your lip stiff keep your fist clenched

[00:00:51] At times you gotta kick your way through this bitch

[00:00:54] And I can't stop feelin' guilty smilin'

[00:00:56] A wise man once told me that every cloud has a silver linin'

[00:01:00] I wanted to believe him but its a trick to find em'

[00:01:03] When the people around me continue dyin'

[00:01:05] Grandad was in the twilight of his life

[00:01:08] When he closed his eyes tight and opened his wrists wide

[00:01:10] What make a tenth round fighter with a winning score

[00:01:13] Decide he need to throw the towel before the whistle blow

[00:01:16] Maybe I'll never know but I inherited his poetic soul

[00:01:20] So the sybolism's yet to show

[00:01:21] Is life so obscene that death's more serine

[00:01:24] Or was an old auther trying to write his own closing scene

[00:01:27] Nothin stings like knowin that the woman who gave me this life is being eaten from the inside

[00:01:32] I thought we'd never make shit right

[00:01:34] I wish I'd have viewed it once clear

[00:01:36] Before you were done here

[00:01:37] That's two in one year that I let leave here

[00:01:40] Lovin' me without shedding one single tear

[00:01:43] Either I'm one of the strongest people left

[00:01:45] Or ya'll should stone me for even trying to steal breath

[00:01:48] And God's rain water flow through the same gutter

[00:01:51] That we walk today gotta stay brave brotha

[00:01:53] Keep you your lip stiff keep your fist clenched

[00:01:56] At times you gotta kick your way through this bitch

[00:01:59] And God's rain water flow through the same gutter

[00:02:01] That we walk today gotta stay brave brotha

[00:02:04] Keep you your lip stiff keep your fist clenched

[00:02:06] At times you gotta kick your way through this bitch

[00:02:09] They say "Shit scrapper you all by yourself ain't ya "

[00:02:13] Damn straight I got a jail cell nature

[00:02:15] Been boxed up but I've never been settled in

[00:02:18] Then got tough started developing leather skin

[00:02:21] I learned to make that face that tells predators

[00:02:23] It's better to reassess just who you bout to wrestle with

[00:02:26] I'm on one like the first kick drum of the beat

[00:02:29] Clear my lungs spit blood on the street

[00:02:31] They tellin me we got nothing to fear but fear itself

[00:02:34] But I fear I have no human fear left

[00:02:37] Someday I'm gonna wanna peel back these calluses

[00:02:40] And really feel life again and that where my challenge is

[00:02:42] I've been kickin and bitin for so long

[00:02:45] That when they throw me a rescue rope I'll be too weary to hold on

[00:02:48] And see the light So I sing through the tears

[00:02:51] In the key of life the way a wounded ego might

[00:02:53] And God's rain water flow through the same gutter

[00:02:55] That we walk today gotta stay brave brotha

[00:02:58] Keep you your lip stiff keep your fist clenched

[00:03:01] At times you gotta kick your way through this bitch

[00:03:04] And God's rain water flow through the same gutter

[00:03:06] That we walk today gotta stay brave brotha

[00:03:09] Keep you your lip stiff keep your fist clenched

[00:03:11] At times you gotta kick your way through this bitch

[00:03:14] BRIDGE

[00:03:16] My joy done left me ya'll

[00:03:17] She don't show her face around these parts

[00:03:20] Every time she come she gets chased off

[00:03:23] So she stays distant

[00:03:25] If it weren't for me squintin he wouldn't know the sun was out

[00:03:25] Verse 3

[00:03:28] I hate every word that come out of his f**kin mouth

[00:03:31] Ladies treat him special don't know nothin bout him

[00:03:34] If they saw what his wife see they wouldn't fuss about him

[00:03:36] He can't do shit right but rap and make babies

[00:03:39] And babies need daddy at home consistent

[00:03:41] But rap keep daddy on the road religious

[00:03:44] So even in my two loves my soul is so conflicted

[00:03:47] My son came into this world innocent

[00:03:49] And he deserves everything that needs to live in it

[00:03:52] And this home I made for him is broken

[00:03:55] I'm hopin his love for me will never grow thin

[00:03:57] It hurts daddy to know and to know when

[00:04:00] You were cryin at the hospital I'm out tryin to rock a show

[00:04:03] I made a vow that we'd never be broke again

[00:04:06] And I'd never be a burden on another friend

[00:04:08] So when I've sweated on my farewell stage

[00:04:11] When I've wrote my last hook in my last rhyme book

[00:04:14] When I get the last nod of approval from my family

[00:04:16] This is the man I have to be

[00:04:19] And God's rain water flow through the same gutter

[00:04:21] That we walk today gotta stay brave brotha

[00:04:24] Keep you your lip stiff keep your fist clenched

[00:04:27] At times you gotta kick your way through this bitch

[00:04:30] And God's rain water flow through the same gutter

[00:04:32] That we walk today gotta stay brave brotha

[00:04:35] Keep you your lip stiff keep your fist clenched

[00:04:38] At times you gotta kick your way through this bitch

[00:04:40] And God's rain water flow through the same gutter

[00:04:43] That we walk today gotta stay brave brotha

[00:04:45] Keep you your lip stiff keep your fist clenched

[00:04:48] At times you gotta kick your way through this bitch

[00:04:52] And God's rain water flow through the same gutter

[00:04:54] That we walk today gotta stay brave brotha

[00:04:56] Keep you your lip stiff keep your fist clenched

[00:04:59] At times you gotta kick your way through this bitch

[00:05:14] Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone You ever felt that way
