Luyện nghe bài hát The River Runs Deep

1]
Yo I knew a man, he started off a boy
His damn life he never really been employed
He was only 19 had a to go to college
Try out his to see if he could gain knowledge
Think about life or whatever you call it
Now just a cluck dead broke alcoholic
Used to keep a picture of his girl in his
about your life or whatever you would call it
He walk home late 'cuz the city don't
He was only 19 but the river runs
Wrote raps in his head so he really speak
About the crushed up pills that he in one week
One turned to 2 2 weeks turned to 4
Now long term addiction at his door
losing weight coming late looking drunk and
His family and said he was up to something
Got to the point he couldn't even function
Calling up his dealer give me something
I got evicted I ain't got nothing
The dealer was a prick his was reluctant
I can get you off the shit no body fuck with
all the fiends know better than to touch it
He was 19 begging give me something
to the kid I don't know if you can trust it
But I got a lot so push it to the
Watch out for the and rats on some thug shit
Here's for your protection lending you this
Pretending it was pure but he knew it was crystal
Looked like shards of glass and I hope ain't a issue
Plus if you snitch well your mother miss you
Now he's lost his path and direction
out his pad after land lord inspection
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
saw 21 y'all the river runs deep

Yo I knew a man he started off a boy
His whole damn life he really been employed
he turned 19 got a job at the college
Working on the radio where he could knowledge
He thought about his and how he wanted to recall it
Still he barley ever had a dollar in his
He quit smoking weed figured he needed time
So that he could make a difference in people's lives
Started saving money out his mind
No longer drinking just thinking about his
He walk home late 'cuz the city sleep
He was only 19 but the river deep
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 about 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 fame he be gone away for months and
Family and said isn't he something
Worked at the back a block from the Ave
Where this guy smoked meth and rocks from a bag
Told the kid he was grateful he was helping out
'Cuz he knew first hand he could have gone another
The river runs deep kid hold on
The people we meet the only thing to keep us strong
He could have been selfish could have it all
he graduated early no adderall
Called up his producer the one that he
Said to the homie yo please me something
This guy was a his replay was reluctant
Now he gotta find some new beats he could fuck
I could make you rich if you switch to this club
He was 19 begging please give me
Gave the kid gimmicks said 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 behind won't miss you
This guy was a douchebag he up the call
Started self-promoting thinking really fuck all
every day then he posted on his blog
Freestyle spitting through 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 getting signed to Sony at the age of 19
First west tour then the whole U.S
Now everywhere he go new girl new
Sold out now money ain't a stress
He was only 19 would say he was the best
underground respect now the same labels calling
Offering him check to put money in his
about your life or whatever you call it
Remember he used to think he'd be an alcoholic
Still barely ever had a dollar in his
Battled with addiction and almost left
But held together so that he could spread knowledge
Think about life or whatever you call it
once 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
fame is a battle and the game is a trap
Back to his neighborhood he would get dap
Saw this man in the with his head in his lap
Limbs lay lifeless 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 dying in the middle of the
Reached in his pocket to pull out his
Like he could save his 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 late but the city don't
The man started 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 runs deep
The of my life 'cuz both of them 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
