paroles de chanson SHED TEARS - Killer Mike , Mozzy

If you weren't so eager to please the white man and send the grading curve up
There'd be three times as many of us here now
What kind of Tom are you, anyway?
The same as you, I guess
Except that I don't try to have it both ways
Are you calling me a "Tom", man?

Well, none of us were picked for our militancy now, were we?
Now why don't you go away and leave me alone?
Why don't you join the team, man?
Team? Man, I'm not playing any games
Come here now, come
This fool is crazy, man

Ayy, brother, brother
And any men born to mothers
Just know that your days are numbered
And life might be filled with troubles
Your troubles may come in doubles
In form of your former lovers
They use your kids for revenge
'Cause you dug her, but never loved her

Never loved her, but drug her
Drug her and made her suffer
Left her a single mother
No malice since I was younger
Barely filled with that hunger
Barely could help my mama
How could I be a father?
Daily, keep gettin' harder

Have mercy
Every week, somethin' hittin' me adversely
I remember dropping my babies off at the church nursery
I remember sittin' hurt all alone in the church service
Asking God to reveal me a plan and a higher purpose

Was a boy, now I'm grown
Immaturity gone
Lying, scheming, and dreaming in queue is gettin' your own
Ask anybody that know me, I suffered slowly for years
And now I'm like Kobe, grippin' that trophy closely and I shed tears

Rest, rest
I'm right here waiting to give you rest for your soul (oh, rest for your soul)
When your soul needs peace, come unto me, I'll give you rest (come unto me, I'll give you rest)
Rest, rest
Today is the day you find rest (rest for your soul)
Trust in me, I will give you rest
Rest, rest
Rest for your soul

Yeah, ayy

Love nothing, we ain't just come from it, we cut from it
Troubled youngin, unload firearms, ain't think nothing of it
Product of my environment, I am nothing but it
We prepare ourself for the penitentiary, it come with thuggin'

Ayy, mama told me it get lonely in that cell
But she ain't tell me it'll break you, sis, I thank you for your mail
Poppin' pills 'til I can't feel, somebody save me from myself
Giveaways is bool and all, let's do some - that'll really help

'Member granny grabbed the belt and went berserk about us smokin'
Gettin' teary-eyed about them moments, they was golden (yeah)
Rainy days approaching, we was sheltered, do they help her?
Wish I could hit your cellular, without you here, I'm helpless

Rest, rest
I'll give you rest, rest for, rest for (oh, rest for your soul)
I'm standin' here waitin'
Come unto me, I'll give you rest
Rest, rest
Don't be afraid to rest (rest for your soul)

I shed tears every morning in the bathroom mirror
Face to face with fate, had to face my fears
It was me, I'm the reason that I fell
That was hell, locked in self-guilt like jail

Lord, I cried, almost died, empty inside
The devil whispers in your ear, you contemplate suicide
I tell you I know, promise, honest, been there before
And it's pride before the fall, it's how it usually go

Lookin' at me, I was struttin', proud as can be
Couldn't tell me nothin', I was hushin' people, keepin' it G
I heard my ancestors' voices, now they speakin' through me
Sometime my faith get fully shaken, I get weak as can be

Pray and repent, gather my strength, fast like it's Lent
The devil sent the storm to break me, but I didn't bow or bend
Won't buy a bin, I'll suffer, then will do it again
Made it to the mountaintop straight from the valley of sin

Rest, rest
I've learned to live with some pain
When you're feeling tired
I guess it come with the game (oh, rest for your soul)
When you're feeling broken
For those who suffered for years
When you're feeling burdened
Th-th-that's why I shed tears
Come unto me, I'll give you rest

I will give you rest
I've learned to live with some pain
Rest, come unto me
Rest, rest (I guess it come with the game)
I'll give you
Rest for your soul
For those who suffered for years
I'm your refuge, any day you can find me
Th-th-that's why I shed tears
Come unto me, I'll give you rest

Rest, rest
Oh, rest
Rest for your soul
For your soul, for your soul
Come unto me, I'll give you rest
Rest, rest
Ooh
Rest for your soul
I'll give you rest, rest for your soul
