Book Of Life lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Book Of Life lyrics I got so much trouble on my mind So I take time Out my day To pray and I say Now I lay me down to sleep Hopin that I keep My soul Peep, I m gettin old And it s a cold cold world And I ain t even got a bomber Livin with my momma It s the same routine Keep my room clean I m lookin to do some new things but ain t shit to do I m twenty-two - catch In the prime of my life I have no time for a wife I funnel through the tunnel Disgruntled, tryin to find me some light In the rim of darkness Aiight you sing, I may not be the darkest Brotha But I was always told to act my age and not my color Knowin that my color was that of the original So now I sing the new negro spiritual It goes get up stand up...etc. It s like how can you understand the pain When you never had to stand under the rain When it rains it pours, and it s about to come down hard Thank God I found you As I walk down the road of existence I get resistance From all angles I tangle For cash Hopin it ll last Til the end of the week But all I eat is fast food And you know how junk food goes right through ya So I return to the arab And on the way back I stop and the liquor store Grab me a six pack Knowin that once I m done with that I ll be back To get some more Once I get started I don t wanna stop And I can t turn around Brew - I can t turn it down Ironically I turn it up My liver I burn it up (Fat line) It s my life I live it up The cup I gotta give it up One day I m cruisin down a one way street and I done passed fun day Three blocks ago It itself life is an obstacle As I maneuver through the manure I try to be responsible I want a job but I ain t lookin - how come I ain t tryin to degrade myself bein nobody s Calvin But I m a couch bum what makes it bad I had incentive But I disintegrated To a state that s stagnated I procrastinated I can t recall a day without bein intoxicated or blowed Ain t dealin with a full deck and any day I could fold What makes it bad, I wasn t dealt that bad a hand And I had a plan But things didn t go through The way they were supposed to Thank God I found you It s like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder How I keep from goin under, I ponder And try to keep my concentration In this idiotic nation They say become I doctor, but I don t have the patients/patience Adjacent To that situation I want an occupation That I m into Cause yet if I begin to Live to my potential I went to School for fourteen years and my best teacher was experience I reminisce and wish I could go back in time to eighty-nine When there was just sunshine But now it s like I m gettin older to so much strain and stress I don t think I ll ever be happpy until I rest In peace Of mind And find Who I am But thank God I found you song lyrics
