It's been awhile. Here's something new. Hope everyone's doing good. Shoulda been here sooner. You taste the lies before they reach my lips And tell me what I thought before I've done the thinking Condemned so young without committing no crimes Solitary confinement is a state of mind Advanced thinking cannot be in stagnation If love's not a curse why are we afraid to face it I cannot kill the heart cause I still need it for beating But I'm afraid to waste a life that is possibly worth leading Seems to rain in here everyday Clouds in my mind cannot drift away No wonder life's stuck in the gray When you don't let the winds of change blow your way (Chorus)x2 Come aboard this sinking ship, we'll ride it to the ground And when you find out this is it, you're begging just to drown Looking right through me as if I'm transparent If you've figured me out, how come you stay the same I dread the day, can't wait for sleep Dreams of hapiness I can't experience when I'm awake One day I'm gonna run till my feet fall out from under Then I plan to crawl till I'm broken at the knees Once there I plan to sit, paraplegic Happy as a clam that I'm far away from you Seems to rain in here everyday Clouds in my mind cannot drift away No wonder life's stuck in the gray When you won't let the winds of change blow your way (Chorus)x2 If I must choose to sink or swim, just drop me like a stone My life has been a shipwreck so this is a fitting home I descend to the bottom, become one with the ocean floor Finally here I can escape my thoughts of you for evermore (chorus)x4 "Only God can judge me" Tupac Shakur |
