Black Cloud Lyrics - Crazytown

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's got a lot of brothers dead 

The smarter brother knows to keep his foes close 

And I'm the type of brother that's 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? 

What's the problem with this town? 

I can't figure it out 

My karma's crashing down 

In the form of a black cloud 

I've got a little black cloud 

That follows me everywhere I go 

It takes over me 

I've got a little black cloud 

That follows me everywhere I go 

It takes over me 

I'm sick, I've got a real 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 Dalai Lama 

I ain't a saint but I've got joi de vivre 

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 a lot to learn and I've got money to spend 

To pretend is reaping more than sowing ever could mend 

Trade my torches for a dime 

The pressure's fading away now 

Black clouds lifted for the light 

The pressure's fading away now 

A thousand cigarettes won't change the way we feel 

The pressure's fading now 

Can you bare the thought of knowing truth? 

Knowing truth? 

I was rapping in the rain 

Hoping then, my luck would change 

And if there's any truth 

To all those old sayings 

'Cuz if I kill a spider, would my house catch on fire? 

If I walked 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 project 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 forced to adapt to this 

I would change the past if I could have one wish 

Trade my torches for a dime 

The pressure's fading away now 

Black clouds lifted for the light 

The pressure's fading away now 

A thousand cigarettes won't change the way we feel 

The pressure's fading now 

Can you bare the thought of knowing truth? 

Knowing truth? 

Knowing truth 

I gotta put that down 

...
