Luyện nghe bài hát Rain Water

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

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

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

And I can't stop feelin' smilin'.
A man once told me that every cloud has a silver linin'.
I to believe him but its a trick to find em'
when the people around me dyin'.
Grandad was in the twilight of his
when he closed his eyes tight and opened his wide.
What make a tenth round fighter 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 trying to write his own scene?
Nothin stings like knowin that the woman who gave me this is being eaten from the inside.
I we'd never make shit right.
I wish I'd viewed it once clear
you were done here.
That's two in one year that I let here,
me, without shedding one single tear.
Either I'm one of the strongest left
or ya'll should me for even trying to steal breath.

They say "Shit, scrapper, you all by ain't ya?"
straight, I got a jail 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 the first kick drum of the beat.
Clear my lungs, blood on the street.
They tellin me we got nothing to but fear itself
but I fear I have no fear left.
I'm gonna wanna peel back these calluses
and really feel life and that where my challenge is.
I've kickin and bitin for so long
that when throw me a rescue rope I'll be too weary to hold on
and see the light. So I through the tears
in the key of life, the way a ego might.

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

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

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