Paint It Black
Shadows envelope me all around
Death mirrors everywhere I go
When darkness falls, I hear voices call
From inside the walls yelling out to me
To fade to black
May my crown never touch the ground
Light years ahead, left the past behind
I know in heavens eyes, the sun always shines
But when the shadows cry and your not around
I paint it black
Missing Mary Mat, all dressed in black
Her racks all stacked and that ass look fat
Killed the kitty cat, then I took a nap
Seen her in my dreams, she said come on back
Into reality, cuzniggas catching fatalities
Aint no time to sleep or beat around the bush
By any chance, who smoked up all my Kush
Honestly babe, it was me
Big shit talking, big stick walking, flick bic sparking
Big weed danking, big chain swinging
White girl dangling, where my nuts hanging
Way beyond slanging, more star gazing, no dream chasing, no hoe saving
More paper cash, fuck the star spangle
Going out like Django, after guns blaze and the haze fades
Im King Kong on a pool table, 6ft, 10 toes deep
Catch a nose bleed when my gas leak
Tell'em look both ways before you cross the street
I'm from the boulevard, call me Dr.King
Learn your history before you question me
Loyalty equals royalty, and love lost equates to lawyer fees
We know life ain't fair cuz the trust ain't free
Gotta problem with fam? I'm might holla at scrams
And if that's ya man, I'll turn em both to spam
Before i kick the can, I'm punching the clock
Before the cell slam, I disengage the lock
Gotta give them bloodsuckers everything I got
One look at us and all the bubbles pop!
Shadows envelope me all around
Death mirrors everywhere I go
When darkness falls, I hear voices call
From inside the walls yelling out to me
To fade to black
May my crown never touch the ground
Light years ahead, left the past behind
I know in heavens eyes, the sun always shines
But when the shadows cry and your not around
I paint it black
Useless, worthless, good for nothing
Life is of no purpose, tell me what the worth is for all of you hard workers
Many come, and many go
Yes the Earth has seen plenty more
Dawns and dusks while we're trapped beneath it's surface
Gales wale down to the south
Hurricanes sweep back to the north
Round and round they both go never changing on their destined course
All tears flow to the sea yet the ocean remains never filled
Young ones cry for the milk while you old heads cry when it's spilled
Trouble finds all who search, more have failed than they have found
Are my eyes at all too big for they all seem familiar now
And my ears, even though are pierced, still my heart remains petrified
Can not say this is news to me when all they show is televised
What has been will be again, yet who can claim back virginity
For she was her and he was him way before there was ever you and me
Spades will dull, memories fade, eggs hatch once they're laid, even serpents compete to trade
Beauty passes when your hair has greyed
Shadows envelope me all around
Death mirrors everywhere I go
When darkness falls, I hear voices call
From inside the walls yelling out to me
To fade to black
May my crown never touch the ground
Light years ahead, left the past behind
I know in heavens eyes, the sun always shines
But when the shadows cry and your not around
I paint it black
Death mirrors everywhere I go
When darkness falls, I hear voices call
From inside the walls yelling out to me
To fade to black
May my crown never touch the ground
Light years ahead, left the past behind
I know in heavens eyes, the sun always shines
But when the shadows cry and your not around
I paint it black
Missing Mary Mat, all dressed in black
Her racks all stacked and that ass look fat
Killed the kitty cat, then I took a nap
Seen her in my dreams, she said come on back
