[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]
