Happy (Yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah) | |
Happy, time to be Happy | |
[Killah Priest] | |
A homeless man smiles at me showing no teeth | |
A young man laying dead in the cold streets | |
He was a victim beaten bad by the police | |
And everyday another funeral there's more grief | |
And everyday I like to pray when I see the Sun | |
And if there ever was a Lost Tribe we the one | |
And every hood there's a project with us in it | |
The old man in the dust going nuts finished | |
Years before they use to say "You use to own business | |
Caught them on tax, I guess you're black, you gotta know you limit" | |
And everybody tried to be Happy someway | |
I think of dinners in the winter on a Sunday | |
And everybody's poor but we always pull through it | |
'Cause of Marvin's influence, we always played his music | |
My Pops said he was a ‘Trouble Man’ courtesy of Uncle Sam | |
Then I hit the streets then start hustling | |
But I could see my Grandma when she dressed for Church | |
Her stylish hat, white dress with the matching purse | |
And I could hear her sing aloud with the choir marching in | |
With the face of joy, proud 'cause her heart's with him | |
And she could live everlasting and pure peace | |
No longer worried eyes, speaks to him before sleep | |
And I stood by the door when she came at me | |
She said, "You gotta endure and learn to be Happy" | |
[Chorus 2X: Starry James] | |
Stood right beside me, look deep inside me | |
She has inspired me to be Happy | |
[Killah Priest] | |
My friend wrote his mother: “Mama I'm doing better now | |
My last year of College, told you I wouldn't let you down | |
And how's things around the house? I know you're still fussing | |
I finally heard from Ralphie said "He had a deal coming" | |
He wrote me last week; told me him and Dad don't speak | |
They both be acting they’re kids if you ask me | |
But anyway, how come you never wrote me back? | |
This is like my fourth letter to you, I was hoping that... | |
You could send me something it's getting cold winter's coming | |
I know you're standing, laughing, saying, "I'm up or into something" | |
I love you mom sincerely yours”, as the nurse pause | |
From reading her his letter, body attached to a cord | |
Into a breathing pump, the stroke she had was too much | |
She's in the coma, been that way for a few months | |
And if her son knew believe he'll split in two | |
And go back to using drug before quitting school | |
But just smile 'cause your mother’s still here | |
Try to live and be proud, make a heart full of cheer | |
For your mama, tranquility, she's free | |
Give your heart space and liberty and then peace | |
The words are golden, emotion, devotion | |
Just hush, feel the touch for a moment | |
My life's a paradox, watched by crooked cops | |
But the law carries me just to be Happy | |
[Chorus 2X] | |
[Outro: Killah Priest] | |
Dedicated to my grandmother, Miss Louise Staley | |
I love you Grandma! |
Happy Yeah, yeahyeahyeahyeah | |
Happy, time to be Happy | |
