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 embeds 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? I can't figure it out My karma crashing down In the form of a black cloud [Chorus: x2] I've got a little black cloud, That follows me Everywhere I go It takes over me 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 a 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 treat 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 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 'Cause 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 a 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 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]
