Yeah... yeah... used to run around getting my fight in the streets on. Back in the day before Harlem had a green zone. What good is a good education with no direction?.
Immortal Technique and DJ Green Lantern. Third world mother fuckers!. . I'm from where the gold and diamonds are ripped from the earth. Right next to the slave castles where the water is cursed.
chorus. The grass is not always greener on the other side. The grass is not always greener on the other side. The grass is not always greener on the other side.
I dont want to fight anymore with my brother. I want every face that I see to be a friend. Im so tired of hustling and hurting each other. Why dont we all take part and start a new happiness trend?.
I have faith I trust in God. Even when it feels like Im a lightning rod. For fear and doubt and sorrow too. Me and God both know that wont do. . (Chorus).
In my moments alone I ask, why me?. All the hospitals, doctors and tests. The endless uncertainty. Is a miracle too much to ask. When Ive been faithful in the past?.
There is freedom within. There is freedom without. Try to catch a deluge in a paper cup. There's a battle ahead. Many battles are lost. But you'll never see the end of the road.
I was awakened by the howling of the dog. Or perhaps a wolf. Summoned by the voices who are shouting in my ear. The pale king comes from afar. . Before the time, who will decide.
[Verse 1]. Watch winter melt away. Look for longer days. The sun comes out. Come up from under ground. . Wasting precious time on yesterdays. . But you've got time.
[Introduction]. Blowing in the wind. Drawn right in. Full of promise in this desire. Luring in. Enticing you. Pushing you Closer to the Edge. . [Chorus].
I tried to find another, another lover for myself. I soon discovered that for me. There will never be anyone but you. Oh no, baby. . Mister, don't you know.
I shall not forget what You've done for me. I shall not forget how You set me free. . Everywhere I go, everyone will know. Jesus lives within my soul.
[Verse 1]. Yo I once knew a man, he started off a boy. His whole damn life he never really been employed. He was only 19 had a chance to go to college.
This life is love this life is God this life is no regrets. This life is pain this life is work this life is blood and sweat. God told me it'd take blood sweat and tears.
I saw my doctor today. I told him. I've been drinking out the bottle. Smoking Mary Jane. Took a couple pills, I can feel them in my veins. There's nothing that dope about doing cocaine.
White lips, pale face. Breathing in snowflakes. Burnt lungs, sour taste. . Light's gone, day's end. Struggling to pay rent. Long nights, strange men. .
I've tried to be fair,. And pretend like I care,. But no asset is worth all the time.. . Spent listening and laughing,. To dramas that mean nothing,. Can't find any depth to these minds..
Fallen so far. Said you'd watch over my heart. Your love was so real. Too late to forget how you made me feel. . Tell me what I was supposed to believe.
