Waterfalls (Rap chorus)
i tried to post this yesterday, but blogger wouldnt let me publish...so here it is now...
I seen a rainbow yesterday
But too many storms have come and gone
Leavin' a trace of not one God-given ray
Is it because my life is ten shades of grey
I pray all ten fade away
Seldom praise Him for the sunny days
And like His promise is true
Only my faith can undo
The many chances I blew
To bring my life to anew
Clear blue and unconditional skies
Have dried the tears from my eyes
No more lonely cries
My only bleedin' hope
Is for the folk who can't cope
Wit such an endurin' pain
That it keeps 'em in the pourin' rain
Who's to blame
For tootin' caine in your own vein
What a shame
You shoot and aim for someone else's brain
You claim the insane
And name this day and time
For fallin' prey to crime
I say the system got you victim to your own mind
Dreams are hopeless aspirations
In hopes of comin' true
Believe in yourself
The rest is up to me and you
-Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes
ive always loved those lyrics ever since i first heard them in 1995. i dunno, for some reason those lyrics, especially the last part, has been significant to me. but now theyre more significant since the person who i first heard it from is now dead. stay tuned...we'll be back after these messages =/
