Luyện nghe bài hát Rain Water

(Various Samples)
The question was raised to me the day
why I seem to always joy.
I'd like to take time to set the record straight.
All the joy ever known has disappeared...

(Brother Ali)
Uh, motherfuckin' thin air.
Like it's never even there.
My joy left me y'all.
Shit I hang my head man.

And God's rain water flow the same gutter
that we walk today, gotta brave brotha.
Keep you your lip stiff, your fist clenched.
At times you gotta kick your way this bitch.

And I can't stop feelin' smilin'.
A wise man once told me that cloud has a silver linin'.
I to believe him but its a trick to find em'
when the people around me dyin'.
was in the twilight of his life
when he his eyes tight and opened his wrists wide.
What a tenth round fighter with a winning score
he need to throw the towel before the whistle blow?
Maybe I'll know, but I inherited his poetic soul
so the yet to show.
Is so obscene that death's more serine?
Or was an old trying to write his own closing scene?
stings like knowin that the woman who gave me this life is being eaten from the inside.
I we'd never make shit right.
I wish I'd have viewed it once
you were done here.
That's two in one year I let leave here,
me, without shedding one single tear.
Either I'm one of the people left
or ya'll should me for even trying to steal breath.

They say "Shit, scrapper, you all by yourself ya?"
Damn straight, I got a cell nature.
Been up but I've never been settled in.
Then got tough, started developing skin.
I learned to make that face that tells
it's to reassess just who you bout to wrestle with.
I'm on one the first kick drum of the beat.
Clear my lungs, spit on the street.
They tellin me we got nothing to fear but itself
but I fear I no human fear left.
Someday I'm gonna wanna peel these calluses
and really feel life again and that my challenge is.
I've kickin and bitin for so long
that when they throw me a rescue I'll be too weary to hold on
and see the light. So I sing through the
in the key of life, the way a ego might.

My joy left me ya'll.
She show her face around these parts.
time she come she gets chased off,
so she distant.

If it weren't for me squintin he wouldn't the sun was out.
I hate word that come out of his fuckin mouth.
Ladies treat him special, don't nothin bout him.
If they saw what his wife see they fuss about him.
He do shit right but rap and make babies
and babies need daddy at consistent,
but rap daddy on the road religious.
So even in my two loves my is so conflicted.
My son came this world innocent
and he deserves that needs to live in it.
And home I made for him is broken,
I'm hopin his love for me will grow thin.
It hurts to know and to know when
you cryin at the hospital I'm out tryin to rock a show.
I a vow that we'd never be broke again
and I'd be a burden on another friend.
So when I've on my farewell stage,
when I've wrote my last hook in my last book,
when I get the nod of approval from my family,
is the man I have to be.

Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone. You ever that way?
