Common Sense – Book Of Life Lyrics

Artist: Common Sense
Song: Book Of Life

I got so much trouble on my mind
So I take time
Out my day
To pray and I say

Now I lay me down to sleep
Hopin’ that I keep
My soul
Peep I’m gettin’ old

And it’s a cold cold world
And I ain’t even got a bomber
Livin’ with my momma
It’s the same routine

Keep my room clean
I’m lookin’ to do some new things but ain’t sh#t to do
I’m twenty two catch
In the prime of my life

I have no time for a wife
I funnel through the tunnel
Disgruntled, tryin’ to find me some light
In the rim of darkness

Aiight you sing, I may not be the darkest
Brotha
But I was always told to act my age and not my color
Knowin’ that my color was that of the original

So now I sing the new negro spiritual
It goes get up stand up…etc.
It’s like how can you understand the pain
When you never had to stand under the rain

When it rains it pours, and it’s about to come down hard
Thank God I found you
As I walk down the road of existence
I get resistance

From all angles
I tangle
For cash
Hopin’ it’ll last

‘Til the end of the week
But all I eat is fast food
And you know how junk food goes right through ya
So I return to the arab

And on the way back
I stop and the liquor store
Grab me a six pack
Knowin’ that once I’m done with that I’ll be back

To get some more
Once I get started I don’t wanna stop
And I can’t turn around
Brew – I can’t turn it down

Ironically I turn it up
My liver I burn it up (Fat line)
It’s my life I live it up
The cup I gotta give it up

One day
I’m cruisin’ down a one way street and I done passed fun day
Three blocks ago
It itself life is an obstacle

As I maneuver through the manure I try to be responsible
I want a job but I ain’t lookin – how come
I ain’t tryin’ to degrade myself bein’ nobody’s Calvin
But I’m a couch bum what makes it bad I had incentive

But I disintegrated
To a state that’s stagnated
I procrastinated
I can’t recall a day without bein’ intoxicated

Or blowed
Ain’t dealin’ with a full deck and any day I could fold
What makes it bad, I wasn’t dealt that bad a hand
And I had a plan

But things didn’t go through
The way they were supposed to
Thank God I found you
It’s like a jungle sometimes it makes me wonder

How I keep from goin’ under, I ponder
And try to keep my concentration
In this idiotic nation
They say become I doctor, but I don’t have the patients/patience

Adjacent
To that situation
I want an occupation
That I’m into

‘Cause yet if I begin to
Live to my potential
I went to
School for fourteen years and my best teacher was experience

I reminisce and wish
I could go back in time to eighty-nine
When there was just sunshine
But now it’s like I’m gettin’ older to so much strain and stress

I don’t think I’ll ever be happpy until I rest
In peace
Of mind
And find

Who I am
But thank God I found you
