[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 k**er'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 sk** 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 d**h
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
