Black Cloud
Crazy Town
Now people say I’m jinxed. I got some kind of voodoo hex. Life is so complex. There’s no telling what can happen next. Life on the edge, Fuels the sickness in my head. It imbeds the type of thoughts That got a lot of brothers dead. The smarter brother knows To keep his foes close. And I’m the type of brother That’s smarter than most. A cold hearted overdose Of lyrical antidotes. The cure to make sure My karma can’t take me down. Up to the same old tricks. I wonder if I’ll stick around. Is a penny really lucky If you find it on the ground? What’s the problem with this town? I can’t figure it out. My karma’s crashing down In the form of a black cloud. [CHORUS:] I’ve got a little black cloud That follows me. Everywhere I go, It takes over me. [X2] I’m sick. I’ve got a real ill disposition. My intentions are pure But there’s a cure for my condition. My decisions Put me in the wrong positions. Chasing pipe dreams Of fame and recognition. The Epic. Not only a name, A definition. My game remains no matter the pain. I stay the charmer. The Don of Karma. I navigate it like the Dalai Lama I ain’t a saint. But I’ve got Joi de vie And I’m the one to blame If the cloud rains on me. I can’t complain about it Or even let regret Provoke the energy it takes For me to get upset. A bad boy since birth So I can’t forget What goes around Comes around And it ain’t got me yet. I’ve gotten wise in my age And tamed the threat of my rage. I’ve got a lot to learn And I’ve got money to spend. To pretend is reaping more Than sewing ever could mend. [CHORUS] Trade my torches for a dime The pressure’s fading away now Black cloud’s lifted for the light The pressure’s fading away now. A thousand cigarettes Won’t change the way we feel. The pressure’s fading now Can you bare the thought of knowing truth? Knowing truth. I was rapping in the rain, Hoping that my luck would change. And if there’s any truth To all those old sayings. Cuz if I killed a spider, Would my house catch on fire? If I walked under a ladder Would it matter? I tend to laugh When black cats cross my path. Break mirrors in half Just to test the aftermath Now here comes rain. I project my pain. Trying to make sense Of these crazy things. I’m a diamond in the rough. Could I suffer enough? I’m getting high for a living, Not giving a fuck. These hard times got me stuck. Stuck in a jam I’m the monkey on your back And the crack in the dam. Disastrous Took time to master this. And the past Is just a map to capture this. In the darkness. I’m forced to adapt to this. I would change the past If I could have one wish.
