Now people say i'm jinxed i got some kind of voodoo hex/ life is so complex there's no telling what could happen next/ life on the edge, fuels the sickness in my head it imbeds the type of thoughts that got a lot of brothers dead/ the smarter brother knows to keep his foes close and i'm the type of brothers that smarter than most/ a cold hearted overdose of lyrical antidotes/ the cure to make sure my karma can't take me down/ up to the same old tricks i wonder if i'll stick around is a penny really lucky/ if you find it on the ground?/ whats the problem with this town? i can't figure it out my karma's crashing down in the form of a black cloud.
Chorus: i've got a little black cloud, that follows me everywhere i go it takes over me (x2)
I'm sick/ i 've got an ill disposition my intentions are pure but there's a cure for my condition/ my decisions put me in the wrong positions/ chasing pipe dreams of fame and recognition/ the epic/ not only a name a definition/ my game remains no matter the pain/ i stay the charmer/ the don of karma/ i navigate like the dalli lama/ i ain't a saint but i've got joi de vie and i'm the one to blame if the cloud rains on me / i can't complain about it or even let regret/ provoke the energy it takes/ for me to get upset/ a bad boy since birth so i can't forget/ what goes around comes around and it ain't got me yet/ i've gotten wise in my age and tame the threat of my rage/ i've got allot to learn and i've got money to spend to pretend is reaping more than sewing ever could mend.
Chorus: trade my torches for a dime. the pressure's fading away now. black cloud's lifted for the light the pressure's fading away now. a thousands cigarettes won't change the way we feel, the pressure's fading now, can you bare the though of knowing truth? knowing truth?.
I was rapping in the rain hoping that my luck would change and if there's any truth to all those all sayings/ cuz if i kill a spider would my house catch on fire? if i walk under a ladder would it matter ? i tend to laugh when black cats cross my path/ break mirrors in half just to test the aftermath/ now here comes the rain/i protect my pain/trying to make sense of these crazy things/ i'm a diamond in the rough could i suffer enough? i'm getting high for a living not giving a fuck/ these hard times got me stuck, stuck in a jam/i'm the monkey on your back and the crack in the dam/ disastrous/ took time to master this and the past is just a map to capture this/ in the darkness i'm force to adapt to this/ i would change the past if i could have one wish.
Chorus: trade my torches for a dime. the pressure's fading away now. black cloud's lifted for the light the pressure's fading away now. a thousands cigarettes won't change the way we feel, the pressure's fading now, can you bare the though of knowing truth? knowing truth?
