Some of us fall and some of us fly
But at the end of the book baby all of us die
Five lyrics, no interviews, from My Brother (two lines), Feelings Gone, My Life and Spaceghost. Faith and pain lead on 2 lines each, with money, struggle and perseverance on one apiece. The lines are about mortality: some of us fall and some of us fly, but at the end of the book all of us die; a heart colder than March but warmer than June; and the sly note that nobody mentions how "gettin money slows your prayers" up. Short and grave.
They never say gettin money slows your prayers up
Life is a circle of pain
The darkest clouds, end up like the purplest rain
I play my part, and my heart seem colder than March
But on the flipside of things, it's still warmer than June
I have talks with the Lord, and he'll be callin' me soon, what?
Might be losing now, but I bet you I'mma triumph
Yea, I'mma win again. Mad high, bent again
