Luyện nghe bài hát The River Runs Deep

1]
Yo I once knew a man, he off a boy
His whole damn he never really been employed
He was only 19 had a to go to college
Try out his luck to see if he could gain
Think your life or whatever you call it
Now he's just a cluck dead alcoholic
Used to a picture of his girl in his wallet
Think your life or whatever you would call it
He home late 'cuz the city don't sleep
He was 19 but the river runs deep
Wrote raps in his head so he really speak
About the crushed up pills he took in one week
One week to 2 2 weeks turned to 4
Now term addiction knocking at his door
losing weight coming late looking drunk and
His family and friends he was up to something
Got to the where he couldn't even function
Calling up his dealer begging me something
I got evicted I ain't got nothing
The dealer was a prick his was reluctant
I can get you high off the no body fuck with
Even all the fiends know than to touch it
He was 19 begging give me something
Said to the kid I don't if you can trust it
But I got a lot so it to the public
Watch out for the cops and on some thug shit
Here's for protection lending you this pistol
it was pure but he knew that it was crystal
Looked like shards of glass and I hope this a issue
Plus if you snitch well your gonna miss you
Now he's lost his school and direction
out his pad after land lord inspection
All he had was his rhymes and a dream
Now he's on the streets at the age of 19
the meth in his lungs and the son starts to tweak
Never saw 21 y'all the river runs

Yo I once a man he started off a boy
His damn life he never really been employed
Until he turned 19 got a job at the
Working on the radio where he spread knowledge
He thought about his life and how he to recall it
Still he barley had a dollar in his wallet
He quit smoking weed that he needed time
So that he could a difference in other people's lives
Started saving money cleared out his
No longer drinking thinking about his rhymes
He walk home 'cuz the city don't sleep
He was only 19 but the river runs
He walk late 'cuz the city don't sleep
He was only 19 but the runs deep
Wrote raps in his so he didn't really speak
To his homies about the books he in one week
One week to two, two weeks turned to four
Plus on the side knocking at his door
Started fame he be gone away for months and
Family and friends said he something
at the food back a block from the Ave
Where this guy smoked meth and kept rocks a bag
the kid he was grateful that he was helping out
'Cuz he knew first hand he could have another route
The river runs deep kid please on
The people that we meet the only thing to us strong
He could have been selfish could lost it all
Instead he early no adderall
Called up his the one that he trusted
Said to the homie yo please me something
guy was a dick his replay was reluctant
Now he gotta find some new beats he fuck with
I make you rich if you switch to this club shit
He was 19 begging please give me
the kid gimmicks said push it to the public
Pretended it was pure but he it was corrupted
You have to go solo we hope this ain't a
Family and friends leave they won't miss you
This guy was a douchebag he up the call
self-promoting thinking really fuck them all
Recording every day then he posted on his
Freestyle clear spitting the fog
Best that he made quitting beer twisting logs
Now he with no fear said he listen to the gods
'Cuz all he ever had was his and a dream
Now he's getting signed to at the age of 19
First west coast tour the whole U.S
Now he go new girl new dress
out shows now money ain't a stress
He was only 19 would say he was the best
Getting respect now the same labels calling
Offering him check to put money in his
Think about life or whatever you call it
Remember when he used to he'd be an alcoholic
Still barely ever had a in his wallet
Battled with addiction and almost left
But himself together so that he could spread knowledge
about your life or whatever you call it
There once was a time the sun felt weak
Now he's at 21 y'all the river runs deep

Then one day the kid back
To the city of where he learned how to rap
fame is a battle and the game is a trap
Back to his neighborhood where he get dap
Saw man in the shadows with his head in his lap
Limbs lay lifeless wasn't a nap
His eyes wasn't holes in his teeth
Pipe on the ground cold on the street
not to look tried to listen to the beat
But this man sat dying in the of the street
in his pocket to pull out his wallet
Like he save his life or whatever you would call it
He turned to the man to offer him his
Looked him in the eyes and it was himself
Torn up cloths no on his feet
It was getting late but the city sleep
The man shaking the sun starts to tweak
in the gutter in the mother fucking street
He to the kid as his body lay week
And whispered as he died kid the river deep
The of my life 'cuz both of them were me
to myself yo who I wanna be
He turned to the kid as his body lay
And whispered as he died kid the river runs
