The Badness Songtext
Believe in God like the sun up in the sky
Science can tell us how, it cant tell us why
I seen a baby cry then seconds later she laughed,
the beauty of life, the pain never lasts
The rain always pass, the sun dont always shine
When its gone Im lonely, but when its there Im fine
I hate the winter time because the nights come quicker
The light make them whites think Im a nice young nigga
But at night they think twice and walk a little faster
Its funny, 100 yearrs ago I would of called this nigga masta
How the tables turn but still the fire burning
I feel the heat, the world is a dryer turning
Im looking for some higher learning
Girl you what I desire, yearning
You say Im easily distracted
I think the problem is Im easily attracted by the darkside
The temptation got me questioning where my heart lies
Im trynna separate myself like apartheid
But ay the liquor keep swallowing
I swear I walk with God but the devil keep following



I say the devil keep following, following
I say the devil keep following, following
I say the devil keep following, following



(Omen)

Feel like Im riding on a chartered plane of broken hearted pain
Turbulence is constant my pilot has gone insane
If I can find a parachute to parasail, maybe these parasites of paranoia wont prevail
Character dope as hell, but where is my parallel sweetheart?
Deep thoughts lost in my brain so I sleep hard
Nights with no progress
Man Im thinking like Ill probably find a Lockness in the projects before I find this
Object of my love, this object of my heart
Guitar strings have strum in search of my counterpart
Bound to start drinking or smoking, sinking this ocean
Leaping through the badness hoping Im reaching for closeness

Feel like the devil keep following me
Feel like the devil keep following me
