[Julius - Spoken word]
What is luck?
Whatever luck is, I doubt I know it
Whatever luck is, I'm down on it
This bottle of Jack Daniels I down it
Now it seems I'm drowning
On the floor I'm down on it
I've been down before
I know when I'm down
If you know when you down on it
Laying downloaded
If luck is an app I'll download it
Luck... Sounds foreign
Wherever luck is I search around for it
All around town for it
If luck comes around every blue moon
I'm a wolf, I'll howl for it
I wanna be around for it
Round four it's looking grim
I'm down for the count
I gotta keep fighting for it
I'm down for it
Where is luck?
I keep hearing people tell me they 'lucked up'
So if I look up is luck up?
I think if luck's up
Luck is looking down on me and can't come down
Luck is stuck up
If you ain't genuine, don't tell me to buck up
Shut the fuck up, your cup runneth over
My bottle is empty, fuck cups
I'm blessed though
I know what blessings are
Blessing is when you walk outside to no harm
Blessing is when you have all extremities - both legs and both arms
Blessed is when you look another person in the eyes and tell them to have a good day with no qualms
Blessed is the man who walks not in the council of the wicked, I quote Psalms
Nah, but I ain't lucky though, I ain't lucky
Nah, I ain't lucky
I come from a place full of men sinners and women sinners
If we paid more attention to sinners, there'd be no detention centers
Youthful centers; aging centers; baby sinners; no baby sitters
A land full of unwatched kids, questionable fathers
I question my pops' too - pop quiz
But nah, I ain't lucky
If I'm lucky, look at the way that luck did me
Even though I'm not lucky
I'm too blessed to say I'm unlucky
Even reluctantly...
