lyrics

DEPTH
(2211)
YO, I BLESS HARDPRESSED, STRESSED, PERPLEXED
STRUCK DOWN TO THE GROUND BY FROWNING SUBJECTS
DEATH WAS NEXT, TRIBULATIONS HAD MY SOUL VEXED
I NEVER GOT SO LOW, WITH MY DISRUPTED FLOW
THE VALUE OF MY LIFE IN ACTIONS EQUALS TO A ZERO
SCREAMIN, “WHAT DO I DO, MY GOD, MY MASTER!”
AS I BREAK MY ALABASTER
FLASK, I ASK YA
THROUGH ALL MY TEARS, WILL ALL MY YEARS
??????????
MY FEAR HERE IS THAT IT’S ALL DONE FOR NAUGHT
AND I DON’T KNOW A SOUL, WHO WANTS TO BE FORGOT

(Dirt)
I LOVE VEGGIE TALES BUT CARTOONS AINT HELPIN ME
GETTING BIT FROM THE SNAKEPIT, DEVILS ARE SCALPIN ME
STUMBLE AND FALL CAUSE NO ONE IS HELPIN ME
‘YOU GOTTA HELP YOURSELF,KID’ IS ALL I HEAR FROM FAMILY
BUT I’M CRUSEHED LIKE PAULS ANKLES IN STEVEN KINGS MISERY
LET GO AND LET GOD, BUT SOMETIMES IT SEEMS HARD
EASIER SAID THAN SPRUNG
BREATHING RESTRICTED FROM SATANIC CIGARETTES IN MY LUNG
I GOT BRONCHITIS, AND SOUL ARTHRITIS
2 YEARS AGO MOM DIED REAL YOUNG FROM DIABTES
AS HELL GETS CLOSER TO HOME , ATTACKING MY FAMILY
AY YO MOM! ON YOUR WAY UPSTAIRS, CAN YOU PLEASE TAKE UP THIS PRAYER
TELL GOD I NEED HELP DOWN HERE

(“Promise me you’ll come back for me”, “I promise… I’ll come back for you.”)

I STILL GIVE UP WHEN I SHOULDN’T GIVE UP
AND SOMETIMES I DON’T STAND UP WHEN I SHOULD STAND UP
LIFES STRUGGLES GOT ME ENTANGLED WITH DEATH
ON A DAY-TO-DAY BASIS I FEEL A NOOSE AROUND MY NECK
AND I’M STANDIN ON A CHAIR ON THE TIP OF MY TOES
THE CHAIRS GOT 3 BROKEN LEGS AND ITS READY TO GO!
AND MY MAN KEEP SAYIN THAT LIFE IS STILL GOOD
BUT IT’S A WEAK COVER UP FOR THE CRAP DOWN IN THE HOOD
I’M FRUSTRATED AND POVERTY STRICKEN
AND THERES MORE EASY WAYS OUT, THAN FOREST TREE’S GOT LICHEN
MAYBE A BULLET IN HEAD, BAM! MY BURNER SPITS
THE CORNERSPOT SELLS HEROIN, MAYBE I SHOULD BUY IT
THE CLERK TOLD ME IT WOULD HELP ME RELAX

(I’ll come back for you.”)

I’M RUNNIN TO THE CAVE OF ADULLAM
TRYIN TO KEEP MY HEART AFIXED IN THE MIDST-AND THEN HERE THEY COME
DISTRESSED, INDEBTED, DISCONTENTED (1 SAM. 22:1-2)
AND THEY WANT A LEADER OVER THEM

(“Even if the stake were raised and the fire lit… I would not lose faith in God.” “Child, the stake IS raised.”)

REMEMBER ME GOD? I’M THE ONE THAT’S LOVIN’ YOU
BUT NOW I’M INNA STRUGGLE…
DEEPLY!
FEELIN LIKE EVEN YOU’RE HAND COULDN’T REACH ME
AND SOMETIMES, FEELIN LIKE YOU DON’T EVEN WANT TO
AND I WANT THROUGH
THE QUITTING POINTS
BUT MY COUSIN BROUGHT OVER A JOINT
AND THAT WEED SMELLS NICE
“MY SON, IF SINNERS ENTICE…”

(Robin Flynn )
I CAN’T BREATH WITHOUT YOU
I CANT SEE WITHOUT YOU
I CAN’T, I CAN’T SCREAM WITHOUT YOU
I CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT YOU
