[Film excerpt?]
What's that...
Ohh sh**
The black clouds
(inaudible)
[Intro]
Yeah, for all the brothers in the place that feel the black clouds
Yeah, keep it true
Eat that loop, plus that rentage due
(Black clouds, covers the sunshine)
Babies' moms, addicts, and all that
(Black clouds, and the storms they bring)
-Check it
[Verse 1]
Now take the regular brother like me, for instance
With discription little above the average
Cuttin' it in barber shops to get cash, that's how I manage
I rot in one sun and one son is soon to come
The seconds that do trickery, some chickens that dumb
Beguiled into flashin' a smile above a child
Who may never know his daddy got secrets in the vow
I wanted to terminate, but baby moms turned his fate
How do I tell the seed of love now that he almost didn't't make daylight?
I clutch the bible tight and move as a disciple might
Detonate my devilish thoughts to blow like dynamite
But the black cloud still remains
Cold and alone with my pains when I'm shieldin' an icy rain
So many questions, but I ain't gettin' enough of the answers
I'd rather have died than being alive when I heard my mother had cancer
Somebody tear my heart out next time - Damn!
Nothin' ever could be better than a hunger for tight fam
If I could trade all that I took for granted for a grand
I'd buy an hourgla** that never ran outta the sand - How much can a man withstand?
This one is dedicated, thought out plan to meditate it
I mean, approach and go to my season and all the teary eyes it generates
[Hook - x2]
Black clouds, cover the sunshine
Sometimes I feel like I'm trapped behind enemies' lines
Black clouds, and the storms they bring
Yo, it's hard to maintain on the dark side of things
[Verse 2]
Well hold up, brother raised in the east, solar
??? got pulled like an offer diners reachin' for ya ???
Nights are polar, days iller than the ebola virus
Armed and robbed it with Osiris, my life gone for pirates
Flashback to childhood, four locks on doors
Back to basics in the PJ's, rest on floors
Defence around the buildings looks like the prison
Keep the world locked down, got me trapped where I'm livin'
So it's time to blow up for that already know
Do our thing in the industry and see steady dough
Lord, I seen brothers turned trump, others broken drunk
Spectators, creators, imitators, and jealous punks
Old dad did the knowledge to Thelonious Monk
I strayed away, as I looked you caught an appetite for stomp
Now it's a state of emergency, some sense of urgency
Make a righteous man back you down and grab yo' currency
You know the routine, black
Ass cracks dream back for weed sacks, collect that interest on them seen stacks
Ay! Be that if you see that, achieve that goal, recieve that gold
Peace, Lord, twelve j**els behold
[Hook - x2]
