Luyện nghe bài hát The River Runs Deep

1]
Yo I once knew a man, he off a boy
His whole damn life he never really employed
He was only 19 had a to go to college
Try out his luck to see if he gain knowledge
Think about your life or whatever you it
Now he's just a cluck broke alcoholic
Used to keep a picture of his in his wallet
about your life or whatever you would call it
He walk home 'cuz the city don't sleep
He was only 19 but the river deep
Wrote in his head so he didn't really speak
About the up pills that he took in one week
One week turned to 2 2 turned to 4
Now term addiction knocking at his door
Starting losing weight coming late drunk and
His family and friends he was up to something
Got to the point where he couldn't even
Calling up his dealer give me something
I just got evicted I got nothing
The dealer was a prick his reply was
I can get you off the shit no body fuck with
Even all the fiends know than to touch it
He was 19 please give me something
to the kid I don't know 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 your protection you this pistol
Pretending it was but he knew that it was crystal
like shards of glass and I hope this ain't a issue
Plus if you snitch well your mother miss you
Now he's his path school and direction
Kicked out his pad after land lord
All he ever had was his rhymes and a
Now he's on the streets at the age of 19
Feel the meth in his lungs and the son starts to
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
he turned 19 got a job at the college
Working on the where he could spread knowledge
He thought about his life and how he to recall it
he barley ever had a dollar in his wallet
He quit smoking weed figured that he time
So that he could make a difference in other lives
Started saving cleared out his mind
No longer drinking thinking about his rhymes
He walk late 'cuz the city don't sleep
He was only 19 but the river runs
He walk home late 'cuz the don't sleep
He was only 19 but the runs deep
Wrote raps in his so he didn't really speak
To his homies the books he read in one week
One week turned to two, two turned to four
Plus on the side labels knocking at his
Started gaining fame he be gone away for and
Family and friends said he something
Worked at the food 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 gone another route
The river runs deep kid hold on
The people that we meet the thing to keep us strong
He could have been selfish could lost it all
Instead he graduated no adderall
Called up his the one that he trusted
Said to the homie yo please give me
This guy was a his replay was reluctant
Now he gotta find some new beats he fuck with
I could you rich if you switch to this club shit
He was 19 begging give me something
Gave the kid said push it to the public
it was pure but he knew it was corrupted
You have to go solo we hope this a issue
and friends leave behind they won't miss you
This guy was a douchebag he hung up the
Started self-promoting really fuck them all
Recording every day then he posted on his
Freestyle spitting through the fog
Best decision he made quitting beer twisting logs
Now he live with no said he listen to the gods
all he ever had was his rhymes and a dream
Now getting signed to Sony at the age of 19
First west coast tour the whole U.S
Now everywhere he go new girl new
out shows now money ain't a stress
He was only 19 some would say he was the
Getting underground respect now the labels calling
Offering him to put money in his wallet
Think about your life or you call it
Remember when he to think he'd be an alcoholic
barely ever had a dollar in his wallet
Battled with addiction and almost college
But held himself so that he could spread knowledge
Think about life or whatever you call it
There was a time when the sun felt weak
Now king at 21 y'all the river runs deep

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