1985 Lyrics - Singles - K. Sparks

[Verse 1: K. Sparks] 

It's in the midnight it's nothing but problems all I see in my life 

I grew up in the ghetto taking cover from drive byes time flies see my older brother 

Tryna maintain do the same thing, need to gang bang leave or slang caine 

And naturally see success hard to penetrate 

Me and Calvin tired of swatting roaches from our dinner plate 

Momma was a winner wait board of education 

Lost souls at the cross roads of our generation 

Fast forward see my brother went to college 

But things worsened he came back a different person 

Seeing pills around the house and they ain't prescription 

No rhyme or reason dealing with addiction 

It's kinda hard tryna keep the faith in God 

When somebody that you love is just a shell of their former self

[Verse 2: K. Sparks] 

Jamaica Hospital see my brother in the clinic 

And we got the diagnosis that he bi polar schizophrenic 

I'm feeling cynic won't admit to enhance ya 

Few months later momma diagnosed with cancer 

Strangest feeling see its hard to get 

Angers building up inside me he's a architect 

Feeling cursed so I curse when it hurt 

Cuz at first see I thirst for a burst from the worse 

Sicker with the thirst made sick new dedication 

Liquor was my first aid kit self medication 

Drowning all my sorrows while I'm downing all these bottles 

But the truth it tends to follows they'll be back again tomorrow 

Tomorrow true love will never falter 

Early morning momma at the church at the alter 

For both her sons mentally that we can get away 

Live for inspiration and we'll live to see a brighter day so we all pray

[Verse 3: K. Sparks] 

I live for better days just to help a better nation 

Live for clever ways of even better conversation 

Live for all my family understand keep it true 

See I found my peace in God I help you find your peace too 

Live to help my family and I live to help others 

Live to help my sisters and I live to help my brothers 

Living full of purpose with a life that's on the surface 

Stay achieving while we breathing gotta die to things that's worthless 

Die to jealousy and everything to hinder visions 

Die to all the false images up on your television 

Die to liquor stores fast whores that apply pressure 

And fast food ask dude with high blood pressure 

Die to reality television 

Did I mention that the irony the fakest thing on television 

It don't console me and not too many know me 

I'm dying to the old me that's what the Lord told me
