《The Floor》歌词

[00:00:00] The Floor - Buck 65

[00:00:46] I can remember being seven years old

[00:00:48] Having goldfish that circuled around in a bowl

[00:00:51] I would watch the forest burn

[00:00:53] And listen to the wind blow

[00:00:54] I remember the table the drapes and the window

[00:00:57] The dark brown everything: decoration styling

[00:01:00] Most of all I can remember my mother smiling

[00:01:03] Worn out and faded my hometown was scrappy

[00:01:05] More than anything she wanted us to be happy

[00:01:08] Little to eat and back and forth to the hospital

[00:01:11] She was right it's better to be happy if possible

[00:01:14] But the old man was under attack and was weak

[00:01:16] And continued to beat us several times a week

[00:01:19] He lived like a king even though we were piss poor

[00:01:22] I tried to be strong and careful what I wished for

[00:01:25] My outside ached my inside stung

[00:01:27] The long leather belt had replaced his tongue

[00:01:30] Not knowing how to run or how

[00:01:32] To hit the brakes

[00:01:33] A white picket fence was built

[00:01:34] Around a pit of snakes

[00:01:36] Both a wonder and frightening

[00:01:37] The thunder and the lightning

[00:01:38] These were the sounds and sights

[00:01:40] Of a thousand fights

[00:01:41] My mother the poor fish staging eternal

[00:01:44] Charades and parades for the raging inferno

[00:01:46] Wanting to be happy beaten all the while

[00:01:49] Asking me always: "Why don't you ever smile "

[00:01:52] And she'd show me how to do it

[00:01:54] Mother and wife

[00:01:55] It was the saddest smile I ever saw in my life

[00:01:58] It hurt worse than death but for her sake I tried

[00:02:00] And one day all of those goldfish died

[00:02:03] Hurricane forest fire out of control

[00:02:06] Eyes open floating on the water in the bowl

[00:02:09] And when my father came home

[00:02:10] He walked through the door

[00:02:12] And threw those fish to the cat

[00:02:13] On the kitchen floor

[00:02:14] And the wind died too and I was still a child

[00:02:17] And the three of us watched as my mother smiled

[00:02:20] And the wind died too and I was still a child And the three of us watched as my mother smiled

[00:02:25] And the wind died too and I was still a child And the three of us watched as my mother smiled

[00:02:30] And the wind died too
