Someday
Someday we gonna rise up on that wind you
know Someday we gonna dance with those lions Someday we gonna break free
from these chains and keep on flyin'
They tellin' me it's all good just
wait You know you're gonna be there someday Sippin' on Jim Beam ok
Gotta get these things one day Till then do another line you know
Searching for that other high Stop or I gotta steal then steal Kill
or I'm gonna be killed I got a sack in my pocket Conscious yellin' drop
it You know we're gonna lose it someday And we tryin' to hold it all
together but the devil is too clever so I'm gonna die you gonna die we gonna
die Someday one day I said
Someday we gonna rise up on the wind you know
Someday we gonna dance with those lions Someday we gonna break free from
these chains and keep on flyin'
Try to lie but it ain't me Ain't me
Try to look but I can't see Can't stop right now cause I'm too far and I
can't keep goin' cause it's too hard In the day in the night it's the same
thing On the field on the block it's the same game On the real if you
stop then it's no pain but if you can't feel pain then it's no gain
Rearrange and you change and it's all bad and you try to maintain but you
fall back And you crawl and you slip and you slide down Wanna make it to
the top better start now So I hold my soul and I die hard All alone in
the night in the graveyard Someday one day I'm gonna be free and they won't
try to kill me for being me Hey someday
Someday we gonna rise up on
that wind you know Someday we gonna dance with those lions Someday we
gonna break free from these chains and keep on flyin'
If you know how
this is Gonna see it's not that easy Don't stop get it till it's done
From where you are or have begun I said keep on try a little harder to
see everything you need to be Believe in your dreams That you see when
you're asleep
Someday we gonna rise up on that wind you know Someday
we gonna dance with those lions Someday we gonna break free from these
chains and keep on flyin'
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday So make a wish
Please accept my apologies, I
wonder what would have been. Would you have been a little angel or an angel
of sin? Tom-boy running around, hanging with all the guys. Or a little
tough boy with beautiful brown eyes. I paid for the murder before they
determined the sex, choosing our life over your life meant your death. And
you never got a chance to even open your eyes, sometimes I wonder as a fetus
if you fought for your life. Would you have been a little genius? In love
with math? Would you have played in your school clothes and made me
mad? Would you have been a little rapper like your poppa The Piper? Would
you have made me quit smoking by finding one of my lighters? I wonder about
your skin tone and shape of your nose, and the way you would've laughed and
talked fast or slow. I think about it every year, so I picked up a
pen. Happy birthday, I love you for whoever you would've been. Happy
Birthday
What I thought was a dream Make a wish Was as real as it
seemed Happy birthday What I thought was a dream Make a wish Was as
real as it seem I made a mistake
I got a million excuses, as to why
you died. And other people got their own reasons for homicide. Who's to
say it would've worked and who's to say I wouldn't have I was young and
struggling, but old enough to be a dad. The fear of being my father has never
disappeared, I ponder it frequently while I'm sippin' on my beer. My
vision of a family was artificial and fake so when it came time to create, I
made a mistake. But now you got a little brother, maybe it's really
you. Maybe you really forgave us knowing we was confused. Maybe, every
time that he smiles it's you proudly knowing that your father's doing the
right thing now. I'll never tell a woman what to do with her body, but if
she don't love children, then we can't party. I think about it every year, so
I picked up a pen. Happy birthday, I love you for whoever you would've
been. Happy birthday
(2X) What I thought was a dream Make a
wish Was as real as it seemed Happy birthday What I thought was a
dream Make a wish Was as real as it seem I made a
mistake
(2X) And from the Heavens to the womb to the Heavens
again. From the ending to the ending, never got to begin. Maybe one day we
can meet face to face, in a place without time and space. Happy
birthday.
