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 chance to go to
Try out his luck to see if he could knowledge
Think your life or whatever you call it
Now he's just a cluck broke alcoholic
Used to keep a picture of his in his wallet
Think about your life or you would call it
He walk home 'cuz the city don't sleep
He was only 19 but the river runs
Wrote raps in his head so he really speak
About the crushed up that he took in one week
One week to 2 2 weeks turned to 4
Now long term knocking at his door
Starting losing weight coming late looking and
His and friends said he was up to something
Got to the point where he couldn't even
Calling up his dealer begging me something
I just got I ain't got nothing
The was a prick his reply was reluctant
I can get you high off the no body fuck with
Even all the know better than to touch it
He was 19 begging please give me
Said to the kid I know if you can trust it
But I got a lot so it to the public
Watch out for the cops and rats on some thug
Here's for your protection you this pistol
Pretending it was pure but he knew that it was
Looked like shards of glass and I this ain't a issue
Plus if you snitch well mother gonna miss you
Now lost his path school and direction
Kicked out his pad after lord inspection
All he ever had was his and a dream
Now living on the streets at the age of 19
Feel the in his lungs and the son starts to tweak
Never saw 21 y'all the river deep

Yo I knew a man he started off a boy
His whole damn he never really been employed
Until he 19 got a job at the college
Working on the radio he could spread knowledge
He thought about his life and how he wanted to it
Still he barley had a dollar in his wallet
He quit smoking weed figured that he needed
So that he could a difference in other people's lives
Started saving cleared out his mind
No longer drinking just about his rhymes
He walk home 'cuz the city don't sleep
He was only 19 but the river deep
He home late 'cuz the city don't sleep
He was only 19 but the runs deep
raps in his head so he didn't really speak
To his homies about the he read in one week
One week to two, two weeks turned to four
on the side labels knocking at his door
Started gaining he be gone away for months and
Family and friends said isn't he
Worked at the food a block from the Ave
this guy smoked meth and kept rocks from a bag
Told the kid he was that he was helping out
'Cuz he knew first hand he have gone another route
The river deep kid please hold on
The people that we meet the only thing to keep us
He could have been selfish have lost it all
he graduated early no adderall
Called up his producer the one that he
Said to the yo please give me something
This guy was a dick his was reluctant
Now he find some new beats he could fuck with
I could make you rich if you to this club shit
He was 19 begging please give me
Gave the kid gimmicks said push it to the
Pretended it was pure but he knew it was
You have to go we hope this ain't a issue
Family and friends leave they won't miss you
guy was a douchebag he hung up the call
Started self-promoting thinking really fuck all
Recording every day then he posted on his
Freestyle clear spitting the fog
Best decision that he made quitting twisting logs
Now he live with no said he listen to the gods
all he ever had was his rhymes and a dream
Now he's getting to Sony at the age of 19
First west coast tour the whole U.S
Now he go new girl new dress
Sold out shows now money a stress
He was 19 some would say he was the best
underground respect now the same labels calling
Offering him to put money in his wallet
Think about life or whatever you call it
Remember when he used to think be an alcoholic
Still ever had a dollar in his wallet
Battled with addiction and almost college
But held himself 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 king at 21 the river runs deep

Then one day the kid back
To the city of Seattle where he how to rap
Said is a battle and the game is a trap
Back to his where he would get dap
Saw this man in the shadows his head in his lap
lay lifeless wasn't just a nap
His eyes open holes in his teeth
Pipe on the ground blood cold on the
Tried not to look tried to to the beat
But this man sat in the middle of the street
in his pocket to pull out his wallet
Like he could save his life or you would call it
He turned to the man to him his help
Looked him in the and realized it was himself
Torn up cloths no shoes on his
It was getting late but the don't sleep
The man shaking the sun starts to tweak
Lying in the gutter in the fucking street
He turned to the kid as his body lay
And whispered as he died kid the runs deep
The story of my life 'cuz both of were me
Thinking to yo who I wanna be
He turned to the kid as his lay week
And whispered as he died kid the runs deep
