Michael Jackson
Passage of Providence
[Intro]
Okay, it's like... nah I don't know, yeah
[Verse]
Goddamn it’s a little bit hard waking up everyday when you got dreams and
You’re so far away from the one thing that could open the gate
For that something that brought hope to place you were once in
But y’all broken the tape so it don’t spin, so you open the case
And you close it, fall right onto the table, emotions pouring over
The bass that you don’t hear
Like how did I get into this position, I was fine yesterday now
I sit here wishing for a sign just to say that I’m living fiction
Cause I’m lying in bed in this little prison that goes on in my head When I’m really thinkin am I dying or dead I can’t feel the difference I’m surrounded by red and these eerie whispers keep on frying
My brain and the theory is this
They're taunting me again, they got my damn notebook now
Everytime I go to write in my notebook the passage is there
The same passage written on every page, I don't know how I-
Look, I'm- this is exactly what it reads...
Boy you gotta quit that shit if you think you making it
You always say you will but you better stop saying it
Cause I ain’t playin kid, I can get crazy, shit don’t flip the crazy switch
Cause you’ll be praying that you didn’t, I ain’t tryna taunt you
I ain’t kidding, I’m trying help you dawg but you just won’t listen
This is real shit don’t act like you weren’t given a warning
If you don’t get the shit you wishin cause honestly it’s important
What if this is all you wanted but then you had to abort it or you
Just never got recognized and nothing looked up
All the days you prayed to god happened to be days he was off
Now you waiting for something to come along, and all those days
That you said you were gonna make it just meant nothing
Now you alone in your thoughts again, looking at everyone succeed
With your head in your hands, feeling all the envy and greed
That they getting them bands while you sitting here tryna read
How to be like them mans just for people to never see you
I’m just telling you be careful cause if you don’t get this shit
And it’s all you want then you won’t have no reason to live
Man I’m just telling you be careful, be careful, be careful, be careful
Be careful, now
[Outro]
(Excerpt from Stranger in Moscow by Michael Jackson)
Hee, I was wandering in the rain
Mask of life, feeling insane
Swift and sudden fall from grace
Sunny days seem far away
Kremlin's shadow belittling me
Stalin's tomb won't let me be
On and on and on it came
Wish the rain would just let me
How does it feel (How does it feel?)
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
