《Cousin of Death》歌词

[00:00:00] Cousin of Death - La Coka Nostra

[00:00:11] Glory fades and glory days ain't

[00:00:14] Always what they seem

[00:00:16] Give all I got and make my salaat

[00:00:19] And dream my broken dreams

[00:00:21] I crawl inside ball up and hide tuck

[00:00:25] My pain away

[00:00:27] And hope to God I fall into a sleep where

[00:00:30] I can stay

[00:00:32] We all got bills to settle

[00:00:35] We all got a price to pay

[00:00:38] And if I make it through the night

[00:00:40] I can fight another day

[00:00:43] They say it's better to burn out than

[00:00:46] It is to fade away

[00:00:48] I just hope to God

[00:00:50] I can fall into a sleep where I can stay

[00:00:54] It was a couple of years ago that

[00:00:55] I started becoming numb

[00:00:57] No one could understand where all

[00:00:58] My words were coming from

[00:00:59] Having visions of a nine to five

[00:01:01] A wife a blunt a son

[00:01:02] Of a life of hustle getting by

[00:01:03] With some of the running gun

[00:01:04] Is it best to be a crumb

[00:01:06] My ex says he's a bum

[00:01:07] Lashing out in violence whenever

[00:01:09] My destiny it hung

[00:01:10] In the balance rum I'm drinking gallons some think that my flows

[00:01:13] Are more poetic than the poems of

[00:01:15] Edgar Allen Poe

[00:01:17] But I know that I'm at a challenge though

[00:01:18] I can hold an old Calico to

[00:01:20] My dome and let my talents go

[00:01:22] Sh*t I spent my whole life around

[00:01:23] The violence so

[00:01:24] I planted seeds of hate oh

[00:01:26] I let my habits grow

[00:01:27] I slept with the homeless

[00:01:28] I copped with the fiends

[00:01:29] Lost the love inside my heart

[00:01:30] I even forgot what it means

[00:01:32] Seen the ripest nights turn into

[00:01:33] The rottenest schemes

[00:01:34] But through it all

[00:01:35] I have never forgotten my dreams

[00:01:37] When the gutters fill with blood

[00:01:39] That's spilled from friends that pass away

[00:01:43] And memories of eulogies while standing

[00:01:46] By their graves

[00:01:48] Just trying to survive

[00:01:50] We wind up living lives like slaves

[00:01:54] I hope to God

[00:01:55] I can fall into a sleep where

[00:01:57] I can stay

[00:01:59] We all got beef to settle we all got

[00:02:02] Demons to slay

[00:02:04] And if I pray all through the night

[00:02:07] I can fight another day

[00:02:09] They say it's better to burn out than

[00:02:12] It is to fade away

[00:02:15] I just hope to God

[00:02:16] I can fall into a sleep where

[00:02:19] I can stay

[00:02:21] Rest in peace to my homie Sob

[00:02:23] I stand before an altar of open

[00:02:24] Sepultures and coffins

[00:02:26] I heard Javier got killed it didn't seem real

[00:02:28] With an army of goons drinking straight vodka to deal

[00:02:31] We live and die by the gun wear

[00:02:33] Our hearts on our sleeves

[00:02:34] Even though our compassion's destined to die on the streets

[00:02:37] What's left over a cold hollow murder machine

[00:02:39] With an appetite for malevolence perversion

[00:02:41] And greed

[00:02:42] When one of us dies we don't really

[00:02:44] Learn anything

[00:02:45] Outside the funeral doing bumps burning trees

[00:02:48] Plotting revenge crying over fallen angels

[00:02:50] Sometimes your friends die the most

[00:02:52] Awkward strangers

[00:02:53] I can't lie sometimes

[00:02:54] This life makes me a stranger to myself

[00:02:56] But I'm pulling myself together

[00:02:58] It's bigger than just me

[00:02:59] As I spit this bear witness to truth

[00:03:01] My unborn seed listens while

[00:03:03] I spit in the booth

[00:03:04] Glory fades and glory days ain't always

[00:03:07] What they seem

[00:03:09] Give all I got and make my salaat

[00:03:12] And dream my broken dream

[00:03:15] I crawl inside ball up and hide tuck

[00:03:18] My pain away

[00:03:20] And hope to God I fall into a sleep where

[00:03:24] I can stay

[00:03:26] We all got bills to settle

[00:03:28] We all got a price to pay

[00:03:31] And if I make it through the night

[00:03:34] I can fight another day

[00:03:36] They say it's better to burn out than

[00:03:39] It is to fade away

[00:03:42] I just hope to God

[00:03:43] I can fall into a sleep where I can stay
