The Puzzle Lyrics - The Undisputed Truth - Brother Ali

Who's to blame for the state I'm in 

I play my cards but somehow I can't win 

(Verse 1:) 

Listen when life leaves you beaten up 

Don't lay around in it, hurry pick them pieces up 

Cling closely to the people you love 

They're your umbrella when the weathers tough 

See to it that your head is up 

If not just remember this 

Just never let your chest and your chin touch in public 

Those that stand against us would love this 

Man fuck them, something's bugging em' 

They feel inadequate or something and that's been dug in em' 

So deep they can't stand someone else making shit 

Player hatred, same concept created Satan 

Play em, no never mind let em play their part

20 Classic Christmas Lyrics to Celebrate The Holiday Season 

They're here to make us prove we are what we say we are 

We say we are the hard hearted 

Been discarded from everything we've ever been part of 

They just robbed it 

Unguarded, tormented and tortured 

And got nothing but scars and grey hairs to show for it 

Fuck that, every stone that's ever been cast or blow that ever landed 

Helped to build that man that's standing before your bitch ass 

And back to wreak havoc and never retired, retreated or recanted 

I, don't expect you to have stood where I'm standing 

Why, repsect is the only thing I'm demanding 

Try, you and I could build this understanding 

You can't honestly shake unless you know where my hand's been brother 

(Chorus:) 

This is a piece of my puzzle now 

Through the years I found peace in my struggle now 

If we were put here to carry a great weight 

Photos 

The very things we hate are here to build those muscles 

This is a piece of my puzzle now 

Through the years I found peace in my struggle now 

(Who'se to blame for the state I'm in - Yours truly 

I play my cards but somehow I can't win) 

(Verse 2:) 

Listen I was taught that mistakes made with great intentions 

Were never sins but where life lessons begin 

Now that I'm 27, single father starting over yet again 

I am who I have to forgive 

Lost my mumma to cancer, closed a 10 year chapter shortly after 

Can't deny that was some shit 

Alone in this life would've been at my throat with a knife chop 

Were it not for my passion to live 

Follow my soul, not that I don't know the penalty 

But that's the legacy that I pass to my kids 

Heard of shining in the heat of the moment 

And won my freedom the moment I realised that's what this... 

(Chorus) 

(Bridge: x2) 

I can't believe my eyes Lord 

I don't know what I'm seeing 

I done watched them smash into little pieces everything I've been building 

I can't believe my ears Lord 

I don't know what I'm hearing 

I heard they smash into little pieces everything I've been building 

Who'se to blame for the state I'm in 

I play my cards but somehow I can't win
