I spent my years isolated Couldn't live with myself I was trouble as a young kid My tears didn't help Very depressing and it was evident I'd fade to the deep All alone like these four walls came at me Barracaded cause my mind state I just wanted to die Never happiness Just sad time living a lie Rater leave me I was suicidal Slittin' my wrist Mamma thinking I was crazy Like use some sense And on them days I was feeling I was paining inside It wasn't me It was my inner feeling coming alive I remember waking up like I was going to school Left me standing in the hospital Locked in this room Put away I was a troubled kid losing my mind Fallin' short Of what they expected from me everytime So don't fault me if you meet me And I look to be strange I'm just mad that the sunshine dies in the rain
(Chorus) Sunshine to the rain When it comes it goes again Even when the story ends Just turn the page and begin again Sunshine on cloudy days Don't hate me I'll never change Thankful I was made this way Your sunshine for cloudy days
Now I was raised in a neighborhood With half of a dime If you was real it was understood It showed in your eyes Every corner had a different hustle Sprawled on your face Drug wars Growin' up raw cause violence the case .... had to move along Quiet it's kept Spoken words got you dealt with So ride with yourself I'm a juvenile They telling me get down for they wealth No getting high Cause when you gettin' high You needing some help As far as help Mine was middle though You know how that go Psychologically I deal with demons talkin' in codes Hopefully, I'll get to meet Jesus Somewhere on this road Sick of hearing people screaming in my head saying no Better of if I was dead Cause they killing me slow All in all it's just a part of my life Watching the show Ain't nothing never came to niggaz sleep Except for a dream It's like a movie with the ending credits etched in the screen
(Chorus)
I prayed my last days of sunshine Just die in the rain Kinda selfish But I know that dying Eases the pain Heartfelt words Spoken hurt Provided the frame For the picture I done painted for the master to explain So I leave behind my testimony Witness to give Far from holy But this matrimony provided the script To live on And live by Grow up and grow on Get on and get by So forth and so on And this here's the last days I can hear the horns singin' I can see the red sky I can hear the drum beating I seen the dead die How long will they mourn Jesus At least I'm saved by my scriptural warn readings And while leaving you here Believe what you believe in But you don't want to not believe Believe in seeing Don't take this here too personal Cause I'm just speaking This is my family on my mind
Las maletas en la puerta, Jose ya se va a marchar A la Guerra por su patria sin fecha de regresar, ahh ahh Dice a los ninos recen mucho por su padre, los voy a extranar, Y una esposa preocupada, una agonia con ganas de reclamar
JOSE?
Quien nos cuida, y nos proteje Como tu siempre lo has hecho, Como duermo si dormia acostadita en tu pecho, Quien despierta mis mananas con chuleria y besitos, Y en esta navidad quien alumbra el arbolito, Aunque tengo la esperanza de que dios sige tus pasos, Hoy se sabe que un soldado facil puede fracazar, Quien me da la garantia de que volveras a casa, Porque miro tu retrato y me dan ganas de llorar
Una historia un poco amarga, Jose tiene que partir,ahhhh ahhhh un soldado en batalla sin saber cual es su fin, ya se despide y le dice a el mas pequeno no llores asi, Que pronto vuelvo, y la esposa en silencio oculta el sufrir, Tiene un nudo en la garganta, pero no quiere llorar, Ella sabe que con llantos nada puede remediar, Y disfrasa su tristesa con sonrisa a angelical, aunque muriendo por dentro le quisiera reprochar?
JOSE?
Quien nos cuida, y nos proteje Como tu siempre lo has hecho, como duermo si dormia acostadita en tu pecho, Quien despierta mis mananas con chuleria y besitos, Y en esta navidad quien alumbra el arbolito, Aunque tengo la esperanza de que dios sige tus pasos, Hoy se sabe que un soldado facil puede fracazar, Quien me da la garantia de que volveras a casa, Porque miro tu retrato y me dan ganas de llorar
Ahora dime quieeeenn, ahora dime quieeeeennn
This one goes out to all those fallen soldiers, the heroes that go to battle for us?May they rest in peace.
(J. Ivy) Yeah, yeah, yeah I, J. I wanna write somethin immaculate, cause that's what you are I would say you're bright like the little lights in the night but you're so far beyond the stars M'lady you're bad like the water found on Mars You see when she places the violin under her chin and begins a melody breezes through the atmosphere like angel's wind Her harmony feels right like when angles bend When she strikes a chord, my Lord She impacts the earth like Mr. Bojangles tappin in Timbs With her I know my flow can't be dammed I scribe of fountains Cause she makes me feel like I can climb mountains Like Frodo and Sam Isn't it obvious this ma'am isn't merely a queen This clearly, this gift is Miri Lord, of the Strings J. Ivy (Lord of the Strings) Miri Ben-Ari (Lord, Lord of the Strings) Play a little somethin' for 'em To the whole world, Chi-Town
