	作词 : Common
	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
