The Real Folk Blues

愛してたと嘆くには あまりにも時は過ぎてしまった まだ心のほころびを 癒せぬまま 風が吹いてる ひとつの目で明日を見て ひとつの目で昨日を見つめてる 君の愛の揺りかごで もう一度 安らかに眠れたら 乾いた瞳で誰か泣いてくれ THE REAL FOLK BLUES 本当の悲しみが知りたいだけ 泥の河に浸かった人生も悪くはない 一度きりで 終わるなら 希望に満ちた絶望と 罠が仕掛けられてるこのチャンス 何がよくて悪いのか コインの表と裏みたいだ どれだけ生きれば いやされるのだろう THE REAL FOLK BLUES It's a hard, cold world but even colder without ya' Looking for kind eyes in every single encounter Cuttin' through hard stares, guard my hope from the doubters Memories start to fade, sweet dreams begin to sour Wind smothers my windows, flame hard to rekindle World crumble around me begging God for a signal Life is never that simple, lies dismantle temples That pain that left me crippled, refined me like a chisel You find me in the middle of war and peace Just trying to ease my mental exploring beats Real rhymes for real times, "Sweetest Gift" like Sade And my name mean it's a classic like Watanabe Never that hard to find me, a rider for the people "Do-or-dier", Suitland sire, born to rise above the evil Walk through fire if I need to, to get to higher ground I am down for the fight of my life 'til the final round This is for my real folks, who never wanted to deal dope Seen the world at its darkest and bleakest and still hope Know that kindness ain't a weakness It's just a sign of our uniqueness As hard as you work to get it, that's how hard you work to keep it Not a secret, I just rap to offset my set backs Tryna get the bounty like I'm Jet black So, respect that, qualifier like I'm Mike Eagle Repping for my people, leave the mic smoking like I'm Spike Spiegel They say business and pleasure don't mix But when I'm with my real folks there ain't no need to code switch When I'm feeling hopeless, my folks keep me focused Faye with the Austria 45, we don't miss But my heart it gets torn in two When I see what this world has now morphed into But no matter what it is we gone get through Kicking off the blues, and taking off like the Swordfish II I'm not a saint or sinner, my days are my winters My dreams are my picture, my breakfast is dinner My gun is my mirror, my friends are my villians I come from the village, where love is your killer Where love get you killed if, you know when you feel it Your losses are Vicious Turn all my shooting stars to an asteroid You use your eyes too much I flow with no focal point You overthink almost every choice, and you die quick You never risk what you got then you never find shit Never do what I'm told, bravery isn't bold People die who were right about everything that they know But their finger was slow, you do what your sold I go where I go, whatever happens Happens, i see one eye through the past and I Keep one back in the present, I used to bask at the ending And now I'm asking the questions Grasping my weapon, on top of my exit I kill me the dragon, I'm back on the steps at the gate They waiting for me, lemme carry the weight BANG See you, space cowboy!
