Luyện nghe bài hát Rain Water

(Various Samples)
The question was to me the other day
why I seem to have joy.
Well I'd to take time to set the record straight.
All the joy ever known has disappeared...

(Brother Ali)
Uh, into thin air.
Like it's even been there.
My joy left me y'all.
Shit I never my head man.

And God's water flow through the same gutter
we walk today, gotta stay brave brotha.
Keep you your lip stiff, keep fist clenched.
At times you gotta kick way through this bitch.

And I stop feelin' guilty smilin'.
A man once told me that every cloud has a silver linin'.
I wanted to believe him but its a to find em'
the people around me continue dyin'.
Grandad was in the of his life
when he closed his eyes tight and his wrists wide.
What make a tenth round fighter a winning score
decide he need to throw the towel before the whistle
Maybe I'll know, but I inherited his poetic soul
so the yet to show.
Is so obscene that death's more serine?
Or was an old trying to write his own closing scene?
Nothin stings like knowin the woman who gave me this life is being eaten from the inside.
I thought never make shit right.
I I'd have viewed it once clear
before you done here.
That's two in one year that I let here,
me, without shedding one single tear.
Either I'm one of the strongest people
or ya'll should stone me for even to steal breath.

They say "Shit, scrapper, you all by yourself ya?"
Damn straight, I got a jail nature.
boxed up but I've never been settled in.
Then got tough, started leather skin.
I learned to make that that tells predators
it's better to reassess who you bout to wrestle with.
I'm on one like the first kick of the beat.
my lungs, spit blood on the street.
They tellin me we got nothing to fear but fear
but I I have no human fear left.
Someday I'm gonna wanna peel these calluses
and really feel again and that where my challenge is.
I've kickin and bitin for so long
that when they throw me a rope I'll be too weary to hold on
and see the light. So I sing the tears
in the key of life, the way a ego might.

My joy left me ya'll.
She show her face around these parts.
Every time she come she chased off,
so she distant.

If it weren't for me he wouldn't know the sun was out.
I hate word that come out of his fuckin mouth.
treat him special, don't know nothin bout him.
If they saw what his wife see they fuss about him.
He can't do shit but rap and make babies
and babies daddy at home consistent,
but rap keep daddy on the religious.
So even in my two my soul is so conflicted.
My son came into world innocent
and he deserves everything that to live in it.
And this I made for him is broken,
I'm hopin his love for me will grow thin.
It hurts daddy to know and to when
you were cryin at the hospital I'm out tryin to a show.
I made a vow we'd never be broke again
and I'd never be a on another friend.
So I've sweated on my farewell stage,
when I've wrote my last hook in my last book,
I get the last nod of approval from my family,
this is the man I to be.

Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone. You ever felt that
