[00:00:00] The Puzzle - Brother Ali

[00:00:00] Who's to blame for the state I'm in

[00:00:02] I play my cards but somehow I can't win

[00:00:05] Listen when life leaves you beaten up

[00:00:07] Don't lay around in it hurry pick them pieces up

[00:00:10] Cling closely to the people you love

[00:00:12] They're your umbrella when the weathers tough

[00:00:14] See to it that your head is up

[00:00:16] If not just remember this

[00:00:17] Just never let your chest and your chin touch in public

[00:00:20] Those that stand against us would love this

[00:00:23] Man f**k them something's bugging em'

[00:00:25] They feel inadequate or something and that's been dug in 'em

[00:00:28] So deep they can't stand someone else making sh*t

[00:00:31] Player hatred same concept created satan

[00:00:34] Play 'em no never mind let 'em play their part

[00:00:37] They're here to make us prove we are

[00:00:38] What we say we are

[00:00:40] We say we are the hard hearted

[00:00:41] Been discarded from everything we've ever been part of

[00:00:44] They just robbed it

[00:00:45] Unguarded tormented and tortured

[00:00:48] And got nothing but scars and grey hairs to show for it

[00:00:51] F**k that every stone that's ever been cast

[00:00:53] Or blow that ever landed

[00:00:55] Helped to build that man that's standing before your bitch ass

[00:00:58] And back to wreak havoc and never retired retreated or recanted

[00:01:02] I don't expect you to have stood where I'm standing

[00:01:05] Why repsect is the only thing I'm demanding

[00:01:08] Try you and I could build this understanding

[00:01:10] You can't honestly shake unless you know where my hand's been brother

[00:01:14] This is a piece of my puzzle now

[00:01:16] Through the years I found peace in my struggle now

[00:01:19] If we were put here to carry a great weight

[00:01:22] The very things we hate are here to build those muscles

[00:01:26] This is a piece of my puzzle now

[00:01:28] Through the years I found peace in my struggle now

[00:01:31] Whose to blame for the state I'm in yours truly

[00:01:33] I play my cards but somehow I can't win

[00:01:35] Listen I was taught that mistakes made with great intentions

[00:01:39] Were never sins but where life lessons begin

[00:01:42] Now that I'm 27 single father starting over yet again

[00:01:45] I am who I have to forgive

[00:01:48] Lost my mumma to cancer closed a 10 year chapter shortly after

[00:01:51] Can't deny that was some shit

[00:01:53] Alone in this life

[00:01:54] Would've been at my throat with a knife chop

[00:01:56] Were it not for my passion to live

[00:01:59] Follow my soul not that I don't know the penalty

[00:02:01] But that's the legacy that I pass to my kids

[00:02:05] Heard of shining in the heat of the moment

[00:02:07] And won my freedom the moment I realised that's what this is

[00:02:11] A piece of my puzzle now

[00:02:13] Through the years I found peace in my struggle now

[00:02:16] If we were put here to carry a great weight

[00:02:18] The very things we hate are here to build those muscles

[00:02:22] This is a piece of my puzzle now

[00:02:25] Through the years I found peace in my struggle now

[00:02:27] Whose to blame for the state I'm in you are

[00:02:30] I play my cards but somehow I can't win

[00:02:33] I can't believe my eyes Lord

[00:02:36] I don't know what I'm seeing

[00:02:39] I done watched them smash into little pieces everything I've been building

[00:02:44] I can't believe my ears Lord

[00:02:47] I don't know what I'm hearing

[00:02:50] I heard they smash into little pieces everything I've been building

[00:02:56] I can't believe my eyes Lord

[00:02:59] I don't know what I'm seeing

[00:03:01] I done watched them smash into little pieces everything I've been building

[00:03:07] I can't believe my ears Lord

[00:03:10] I don't know what I'm hearing

[00:03:13] I heard they smash into little pieces everything I've been building

[00:03:18] Whose to blame for the state I'm in

[00:03:21] I play my cards but somehow I can't win
