Lyrics:
realized
You took this from me, a parting gift
On that day, the two did meet
Each orphans in their own way
We faced your death as we faced life
Side by
like that tempz guy
You was a had it all I was I get by
I used to mc in the mirror but now I've got a set time
Promoters ain't showing me off I ain't
it
When you're in the streets
That's when we see you
We pass by
But never stop to say
That we're feeling all alone
All alone
You feel like an orphan
Radiant silence is chasing me down
Palpable sadness has given away to a much more serenity
Burning from the inside out
Welcome to the orphan world
And the newsboy screams midday now
And the seventy three drives by you
And the seventy three drives by you
And the
News
Boy
Screams
Midday
The seventy three
by but exchange knuckles
Where niggas go to floss jealousy in between a couple
Cats that I recycled conversations with they forget the
Knowledge
to walk these addict streets in drug puddles
Waters that we survive by but exchange knuckles
When nigga's go to floss jealously in between a couple
Cats
In a broken down apartment house
Lay a woman in labor
She said by the grace of God I'll have this child
And the help of a neighbor
At six o'clock
As I was slowly passing by an orphan's home one day,
I thought I'd stop a little while just to watch the children play.
Alone, a boy was standing,
Late in the evening, out on the square
A man in a raincoat, standing there.
We met by the lamp where the newsboy cried.
He stole my heart with his
worry, my nigga, get part of the clip
So I got it right back (right back)
By the way, way that it's going down, it's been going up
I can't hold nothing
I was raised on corn bread and gravy
And I slept in a cardboard box till I was nearly three
I bathed myself in muddy river runnin' by our shack
By
blade
All of the ties we made
But if we can't save the orphans
Let the wingtips of the angels brush their eyes
I'll tear the river up by the roots
that opp pack loud
Load up the clip, air it out
I'm so fuckin' high that my
Head in the clouds
Don't try to turn your back on me
Or you will be dead by
an orphan's home
And just like him I was all alone
So I said, "Yeah," when he asked if I'd stay
Oh, we grew closer as time went on
And that little old
and they never get home
I wouldn't change it even if I could
You know what they say, man, it's all good
It's all good
All good
Brick by brick, they tear you
nobody's child
I was slowly passin' an orphan's home one day
And stop there for a moment just to watch the children play
Alone a boy was standin'
I saw my shadow abandoned by your light
I saw these ashes begging for new life
I couldn't see what was there the whole time
You set me free
Oh, take
me
I was an outlaw Your grace arrested me
I was an orphan Your grace has found me
I was crowned one wanted by the King of Kings
No longer an outlaw now
Down in the gutter an orphan boy
Never been given a single joy
Making it breaking in selling the loot
Hate in his eyes, a hole in his boot
And all
Down in the gutter, an orphan boy
Who's never been given a single joy
Makin' it, breakin' in, sellin' the loot
Hate in his eyes, a hole in his
SPRING
In a broken down apartment house
Laid a woman in labor
She said by the grace of God
I'll have this child
And the help of a neighbor
fostered by unfortunate events
Even CO2 couldn't douse those flames
And what's this? He adopted orphans to his contempt
And it led C.O. to house his own
slums to the palace.
From rags to a dress
Some things don't make sense to me yet.
So I guess I should get used to being surprised by all of the good
that
