I can't see the meaning of this life I'm leading I try to forget you as you forgot me This time there is nothing left for you to take This is goodbye Summers is miles and miles away And no one would ask me to stay And I should contemplate this change To ease the pain And I should step out of the rain Turn away Close to ending it all I am drifting through the stages Of the rapture born within this loss Thoughts of death inside Tear me apart from the core of my soul Summer is miles and miles away And no one would ask me to stay And I should contemplate this change To ease the pain And I should step out of the rain Turn away At times, the dark's fading slowly But it never sustains Would someone watch over me In my time of need? Summer is miles and miles away And no one would ask me to stay And I should contemplate this change To ease the pain And I should step out of the rain Turn away And I should contemplate this change To ease the pain And I should step out of the rain Turn away

Will you comfort me in my time of need Can you take away the pain of hurtful deeds 'Cause when we need it most there's no rain at all And the dust just settles right there on the feed Will you say to me a little rain's gonna come When the sky can't offer none to me Cause I will come for you When my days are through And I'll let your smile just off and carry me Cause when the calm comes down I take the truck on into town And buy whatever we can't seem to grow I work these hands to bleed 'cause I got mouths to feed And 15 dollars hid above the stove Will you say to me a little rain's gonna come When the sky can't offer none to me Cause I will come for you When my days are through And I'll let your smile just off and carry me It ain't like it was on back in those days When everyone would offer up a hand These old bones are worn I've grown tired some And I know my time is surely gonna come Will you comfort me in my time of need Can you take away the pain of hurtful deeds Cause I will comfort you when my days are through And Ill let your smile just off and carry me Lord we married young and stayed where we came from And gave those children everything we had Will you stay with me in my time of need Though it seems we had such little time for us Will you say to me a little rain's gonna come When the sky can't offer none to me Cause I will come for you When my days are through And I'll let your smile just off and carry me

It was a cold morning, gloomy, sun barely shining Figured it was gon' rain today, so I'm in Sit around the house until the thunder storms slacks off Look at my nightstand and pick the paper back up Nostradamus, I'm readin' chapter, after chapter Predictions of the end of world, and after Life, wit' no beginning, as the world stops spinning [Unverified] as a journey that's never ending I glance at my baby boy, I can see this in his eyes The little nigga glad to be alive And as the days go by, I thank God for watchin' mines Prayin' that I remained in fire The same man that I was, which starts from the other mind phrase Was it the cash I think my time came For me to venture off into different dimensions The beginning, the ending, of my time What we fail to realize Is that we runnin' outta time Do we ever be born again In my time of dying It's like I'm runnin' outta time Will I ever be born again In my time, I try to stay true steps on the game And if you niggas thinkin' like me, do the same Which is one minute ya smilin', the next ya start cryin' 'Cause we can't accept we born to die And I, ease my edge, and be a nigga to the end But it's more to life then me and my Benz When my mama told to speak to my friends I kinda took that shit to heart So don't fuck up your life, 'fore it starts Some niggas wanna be like Mike I'd rather be like Christ so at the end, I'll see bright lights (Like Christ, bright lights) I save a prayer for the fallen soldiers Too many niggas died young, for tryna to hang On the slaims of our slums And outcome, as mommy kneels, sittin' on the front row Hopin' God will accept your soul The new millennium, and as I sit watch the distance Ships walk the horizon, I'll stare into space while I'm drivin' And pray for me, all the ends of my sins The beginning, the end, of my time, till I'm born again What we fail to realize Is that we runnin' outta time Do we ever be born again In my time of dying It's like I'm runnin' outta time Will I ever be born again In my time, I've seen life born, and I been blessed Enough to see life lose, it's just the price life cost And shortly, explain my born, I know I'm born to do it wrong So when I'm gone, life goes on Tell my mother, when she on the front row, hold her head up Shed no tears, and dread those years Smile, and even though my whole life's been a po' ball You did yours, and it's not your fault Tell my grandmother those words too She knows I'm headed to a better place That'll put a smile on my wife's face God's graced the evil spirit that surrounded me And pass me, and anytime it could a had me But when it all went wrong, sung the same ol' song Now it's peace after the storm blew on And [unverified], it's the better life, security for yours and mines What the evil lies, and not so guide In my time, it's been times, I would've stopped and called the quits But I might as well sit until it's over wit' Earth to earth, and ashes to ashes, dust to dust It's the Lord I trust The territory where I come from, so I guess it'll be when I return No sorrow, it was just my turn And in those, last trumpet sounds, put me down in the ground But I'll probably be at home by now And it's help will change (These helps will be changed) Blinking of a eye, but I don't think I'll get to see that In my time, till I'm born again It's changed, when we born and how we born from woman We born, from the spirit, of life and all our flesh remains And not, by the flesh of man and not by the flesh of man Do not believe that What we fail to realize Is that we runnin' outta time Do we ever be born again In my time of dying It's like I'm runnin' outta time Will I ever be born again What we fail to realize Is that we runnin' outta time Do we ever be born again In my time of dying It's like I'm runnin' outta time Will I ever be born again What we fail to realize Is that we runnin' outta time Do we ever be born again In my time of dying It's like I'm runnin' outta time Will I ever be born again ...

I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler I'm a long way from my home If the people don't like me They can leave me alone Come sit down beside me Come sit down right here Come sit down, love, I want you Love you boldly, so dear When you get to Wyoming A letter you'll see If you get into trouble Just you write and tell me For I once had a lover Her age was sixteen She's a flower of velvet and the rose of Celine Her parents was against me Now she is the same If I write on your book, love Just you blot out my name Oh there's changes in the ocean There's changes in the sea There's changes in my true love There's no change in me
