Luyện nghe bài hát Rain Water

(Various Samples)
The question was to me the other day
why I seem to always joy.
I'd like to take time to set the record straight.
All the joy I've known has disappeared...

(Brother Ali)
Uh, into motherfuckin' air.
Like it's never even there.
My joy left me y'all.
Shit I hang my head man.

And God's water flow through the same gutter
that we walk today, gotta brave brotha.
you your lip stiff, keep your fist clenched.
At times you gotta kick your way this bitch.

And I can't stop guilty smilin'.
A wise man once me that every cloud has a silver linin'.
I to believe him but its a trick to find em'
when the people me continue dyin'.
Grandad was in the of his life
when he closed his eyes tight and his wrists wide.
What make a tenth round with a winning score
he need to throw the towel before the whistle blow?
Maybe I'll know, but I inherited his poetic soul
so the yet to show.
Is life so obscene that death's more
Or was an old auther to write his own closing scene?
stings like knowin that the woman who gave me this life is being eaten from the inside.
I we'd never make shit right.
I wish I'd have viewed it clear
before you were here.
two in one year that I let leave here,
lovin' me, without one single tear.
Either I'm one of the people left
or ya'll stone me for even trying to steal breath.

They say "Shit, scrapper, you all by ain't ya?"
Damn straight, I got a cell nature.
Been boxed up but I've never settled in.
got tough, started developing leather skin.
I learned to make face that tells predators
it's better to reassess who you bout to wrestle with.
I'm on one like the first drum of the beat.
my lungs, spit blood on the street.
They tellin me we got to fear but fear itself
but I fear I no human fear left.
Someday I'm gonna wanna peel these calluses
and feel life again and that where my challenge is.
I've been kickin and for so long
that when they throw me a rescue I'll be too weary to hold on
and see the light. So I sing through the
in the key of life, the way a ego might.

My joy done me ya'll.
She show her face around these parts.
Every time she come she chased off,
so she distant.

If it for me squintin he wouldn't know the sun was out.
I hate every that come out of his fuckin mouth.
Ladies treat him special, know nothin bout him.
If they saw his wife see they wouldn't fuss about him.
He can't do shit right but rap and babies
and need daddy at home consistent,
but rap keep on the road religious.
So even in my two loves my is so conflicted.
My son came into this world
and he deserves everything that to live in it.
And home I made for him is broken,
I'm hopin his love for me will never thin.
It hurts daddy to know and to know
you were cryin at the hospital I'm out to rock a show.
I made a vow we'd never be broke again
and I'd never be a burden on friend.
So when sweated on my farewell stage,
when wrote my last hook in my last rhyme book,
when I get the nod of approval from my family,
this is the man I to be.

Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone. You ever that way?
