dark summer night I feel clear [Chorus:] Suddenly from the deep Distress of thousand years is heard Sketching a purple face before me A hand motions, asking me
go till it bleeds Wish I was too dead to care If indeed I cared at all Never had a voice to protest So you fed me shit to digest I wish I had a reason
Can see I'm grievin', I try and hide it But I can't, why do I act like I'm all high and mighty When inside, I'm dying, I am finally realizing I need
pretendin' Of wishing I was endin' When all I'm really doing is trying to hide And keep it inside, fill it with lies Open my eyes, maybe I wish I could
Ms America, the beautiful the free Fallen within the cracks I wish that you could see She buried her misery within society it's obvious you have no regard for me
be willing to change his position? Now it's time time time For me to speak my mind mind mind [Verse 2][LL Cool J] Don't get me wrong I respect
take me to the ghetto land move everything and back Take me from the Echo Side and never bring me back (Backwards Dialect) Save me from the darkest corner
nine If I'm gonna die you should come with me 'cuz we boyz It hit me, damn I'm dying, I'm dead he got his wish And all I got was another red Christmas
darkness over me In this cold room lying don't wanna see no one but you Lord I wish I could be dying to forget you How I wish your heart could see,
So it's back to pistols and cane Plotting on licks hitting stains The mob life runs through my veins It's too late for me to change These streets got me
night You're dying to live, you're dying to know what love is And I'm trying to show you something more You're dying to live, you're dying to know what
you gonna do? When I ain't got your back! Free your soul and save my mind You wish you were dead, I feel like I'm dying If this is the price you pay
, I know she's lying, a little more of me keeps on dying Oh how I wish that I could be The one that she's been lyin' with tonight Instead of me I'd rather
she's lying, a little more of me keeps on dying Oh how I wish that I could be the one that she's been lyin' with tonight Instead of me I'd rather be
Im dying on the inside 'cause i tried but I cant hide the tears That fall from my eyes Hold me close one more night Hold me close one more time Hold me
I know what you wanna do you'd die to have me in your thighs you'd even pay me too When you try to hide what's inside your head You're dying to get me
see - untangle you from me - you wish I had my wings - like puppets have their strings - I like the dirt i'm in - hide in my filthy skin - don't try to follow me
