[Sevin] My soul's torn like flesh My breaths connect with the skin's surface Invert this, I'm workin' the pen's urgence How is it my audience pays homage When within I'm feelin' like I've been worthless Undeserving love is given And I'm driven by lack I've developed scoliosis from the way the world's ridden my back Clear the track I smoke strong 'ports a hundred spoke long Still I repent when I'm clearin' a pack I'm Perry Mason to rap Cuz I make every fact from the gate straight, clear and exact The first shall be last so I'm nearin' the back Cuz I'm the first born child of a father who's endearment was crack Faith prevailed and hate's retailed At six dollars and sixty six cents placed on sale Acceptin' food stamps From the cold dark depths of Oak Park's boot camp Either you slang, loot, or veins shoot? On mechanical pogos doin the tango Poverty's my No-Doz I pole vault towards angels And paint flows on blank souls Palm graffiti Calm the knees My songs bleed long to feed me
Chorus Even angels cry But maybe that's the reason it rains I sulk beneath it and it eases the pain Since we greeted I ain't even the same This is deeper than a seasonal change Without you people breathin' in vain Cuz you adore me And every drop you bled is for me Took me to my knees and then we fell in love Through the hurt It ain't easy but we makin' it work
[Sevin] Uh... For the sake of righteousness I'm still strugglin' Bless the spirit forever knucklin' Over my lust to start hustlin' They say I'm gettin' slept on So let me tuck 'em in Rely on God I was taught to never trust a friend Realm of the juggernauts They covered lots on the under spots With them hundred slots in them sundered drops Time relapses at a Quantum-leap Wish I had the time to sleep But nah... I'm busy mobbin' tryin' ta eat Philosophically I'm feelin' Socrates One killer's poppin' me As often as the cops will beat a brother just for talkin' free I'm a target that'll never fold I took the narrow road Likened too weak cuz the sickle seeks to sever souls I'm like Moses up in the desert strolled The Messiah's firey pillar shelters me whenever the weather's cold Proclamations of prophecies spew from a reverent soul The flow's like jaws to Jericho Because it cracks walls somethin' terrible I'll be switchin' in '6-4's when I'm up on heaven's gold And if I die before I earn a chance to tell the globe My testimony will be the greatest story never told
Chorus Even angels cry But maybe that's the reason it rains I sulk beneath it and it eases the pain Since we greeted I ain't even the same This is deeper than a seasonal change Without you people breathin' in vain Cuz you adore me And every drop you bled was for me Took me to my knees and then we fell in love This is through the hurt It ain't easy but we makin' it work
[Sevin] Deliriously scrapin' for a quality life I'm well aware of what poverty's like They said with skill this real my future ought to be bright But I'm blind to that outcome Therefore I'm left with anxiety Who dare admire me? They wonder why my zone is decorated with such a depressive undertone Never remodeled until my brother's home Or 'til they slow time's throttle to a reverse Open up the doors of the hearse And take the hollows out my cousin's dome I speak the thoughts that tore within the innermost Parts of my heart and dispel what hell it invokes I seek the ways of the risen Ghost Preachin' faith of forbidden quotes until death And I testify of its approach And I disappear without a trace I was given flow I throw your sheep into this mountainous range And fast sleepin' to my piece For every feed of my fountain of change Learn to listen The current's whisperin' Discerned addiction and return to my current mission I lit the wick Heavenly Father with this diligent art How could they be feelin' it? Constricted in hell's filament and still in the dark I'm gettin' sick of my villainous heart Because it quits before it's willin' to start Murder my fears Observin' with the curb to my ear I'm rehearsin' every word that I hear Cuz
Chorus Even angels cry But maybe that's the reason it rains I sulk beneath it and it eases the pain Since we greeted I ain't even the same This is deeper than a seasonal change Without you people breathin' in vain Cuz you adore me And every drop you bled was for me Took me to my knees and then we fell in love This is through the hurt It ain't easy but we makin' it work
