The fact that its over hangs over my head, by a thin thread
I wait wearily for the string to give out
I do everything in my power to
Keep it holding on
But I'm kinda tired, and pretty weak if
I'm being truthful
So the thread finally pops,
Finally
And the fact that its over comes crashing down on me
And it smothers me, crushes me
Holds me down...
Why didn't I move before it did this to me ?
Its not like I didn't know
It would happen...
Anyways
I refuse to let anything
Crush me for too long so,
I take a sip of toughness and
Swallow my tears down
Its raining out now
Which makes it a perfect
day
To wash myself clean
Of this darkness
With a hood over my head
no shoes on my feet
Badu and the
grumbling of my stomach in my ears
I walk
I walk and the rain pours
The rain pours and I walk
Each drop that,
hits my body
Cleanses me a little more
They wash the darkness away
Clean me inside and out
Until,
I can smile again
Until my walk is a sure stride
Insted of a hopeless wander
I keep walking
And the rain keeps pouring
The rain keeps pouring,
and I keep walking
I look up, and coming right towards
Me
Is you
With a hood over your head and,
As I can assume
Jhene Aiko in your ears
I know the words you will speak,
Before they even escape your lips
And so, I grab your hand before
you can speak them
Without a trace of that smile on
my face and,
All signs of my sure stride gone
I walk with you...
