Brandon Marsalis - La Dolour Lyrics

I knew it all
All along
I been sleep
Been on my own
Ive been hurt
Been left alone
Got a couple missed calls in my phone

Let me free
Let me soar
Let me fly
Let me fail
Let me flail
Let me die
Read the Bible lately
That might save me from demise
I don't get enough to give
To say its compromise
Don't got enough to give
Maybe that implies
I dont wanna live
See it in my eyes

Imma find a better way
Then fade away with time
Make sure my kids find better days then mine
Show them how to live
Way after I died
Leave them holy gifts
From the kingdom
I reside
I got enough to give
Maybe that implies
That I wanna live
You can see it in my eyes
And I
Dont wanna break
From the pressure
Feel the texture
And the weight
Wanna give my momma lots a brighter days
But I gotta pay my soul as a toll through the gate
Taking a toll on me
My seed
And my faith
I don't got much to give
You can see it in my face
I've seen peoples struggles take the form of an eighth
River styks
To sherm sticks
The same dire straights
Playing hide and seek
'And the devil lies in wait
Im not the same man that I was yesterday
A better way
How do I tell
That dope money don't flip well in hell
The well dried up
And it poised holy ground
Telling my son
That karma comes around
45 Gets you 25 now
I guess thats the best deal we have in town

Telling my son that karma comes around
Bullets do to
If you wait for the sound
Telling him the ones most benevolent get crowned
Remember now
Karma comes around

Dont forget to swing low
For that sweet chariot
Im telling ya
That slave mentality
Is bound to bury ya
And when you pass
Be a light and a carrier for black boys in your area
