Claxx On The Traxx
(专辑: The White Man Is The Devil Vol. 2: Citizen Caine - 2006)
Let's take a
trip in the
mind of a
wine king Look at the
crook's book, find what you're finding Look at a
sick fuck hooked on a
crime thing Fucked up with six bucks, where's the
silver lining? Maybe it's the
writing and surviving Maybe it's the
haziness and craziness that I
bring That maybe made me savour this alive thing Fuck man, I
can still remember ODing and reviving Now it seems my music is arriving After all the
juggling, the
struggling and striving I've been very lucky, I've been fortunate I've been in the
streets and seen friends lost in it Like Joey, Joe's back in detox With dope packed in his knee socks and old fashioned Reeboks And every night his momma keeps crying cause her hope keeps dying Shooting dope with this rope he's tying His soul keeps trying to escape but he can't He's just like his daddy and his cousin and his aunt He's bugging on the
drugs and it wasn't in his plans Plus he's got a
court case, H
planted in his pants That's what he says, do you believe this? Cause every time he get out he's back with these heads I
guess we don't know the
reasons But we're praying to a
God that we don't believe in Yeah, sometimes at night I
take the
train Just to hear the
clacks rumble on the
tracks Sometimes I
write just to shake the
pain But I
can't go back, I
can't change the
past Sometimes at night I
take the
train Just to hear the
clacks rumble on the
tracks Sometimes I
write just to shake the
pain But I
can't go back, I
can't change the
past I
remember being younger, September from the
summer Right before the
trees had the
leaves fall from em Teens full of dreams, we were still all youngin But it seems that the
schemes and the
dirt called on us We all went our separate ways with the
reference The
same cause it stays when the
days when your death is Always full of questions, never full of answers Took chances dealing with the
devil and his dancers Some of us are locked up, some of us are hopped up Everyone of us will fill our stomachs with the
vodka Some of us are criminals and running from the
coppers Some of us are plumbers but the
brunt of all the
rotten Things that we went through are taking their toll Cause some of us are dead laying with snakes in a
hole It makes you wanna cry when you wasted your whole life Until you wind up thinking of taking your own, that's why Yeah, sometimes at night I
take the
train Just to hear the
clacks rumble on the
tracks Sometimes I
write just to shake the
pain But I
can't go back, I
can't change the
past Sometimes at night I
take the
train Just to hear the
clacks rumble on the
tracks Sometimes I
write just to shake the
pain But I
can't go back, I
can't change the
past The
world turns, the
train tracks rumble in the
night Doors open, a
drunk man stumbles with his wife The
pride of a
foolish man humbled with the
knife In the
reflection of the
glass you can see it wasn't right Blurry moving lights, slurring new advice Lying to your own face, this is truly true to life And beautifully trife, usually a
sight for sore eyes When you start seeing you could be alright Your heart is beating right? So start a
decent life The
greatest story ever told has got to be a
fight I
know that some of me is wrong, part of me is right I
write rhymes till I'm bringing the
forgotten to the
light My stop is getting closer, I'm talking to the
ghost of Those who were passed in this rotten evil culture Writing on the
page with the
ink from the
pen Underground in the
city as I
think where I
been Yeah, sometimes at night I
take the
train Just to hear the
clacks rumble on the
tracks Sometimes I
write just to shake the
pain But I
can't go back, I
can't change the
past Sometimes at night I
take the
train Just to hear the
clacks rumble on the
tracks Sometimes I
write just to shake the
pain But I
can't go back, I
can't change the
past You know, you don't see my kind of people. Because my kind of people don't beg dope, they go out and get it. If they miss they go to jail and they kick alone with nothing in some holding tank. Nobody and I
mean nobody can talk a
junkie out of using. You can talk to em for years but sooner or later they're gonna get ahold of something. Maybe it's not dope, maybe it's booze, maybe it's glue, it's gasoline. Maybe it's a
gunshot. But something to relieve the
pressures of their everyday life having to tie their shoes I
can't take this shit anymore, my hands are shaking. I've been up for three days, I
don't wanna face nobody ever again. I
need help I
need to get, get out of here I
gotta go on detox
