Livin' in the projects, broke with no lights on Here's a message to the newborns, waitin' to breatheĪgainst all odds, though life is hard we carry on My childhood years were spent buryin' my peers in the cemetary Wishin' I live my life a legend, immortalized in pictures Sellin' my soul for material wishes, fast cars and bitches Or the repercutions while bustin' on backstabbin' vultures Some see me stranded in this land of hell, jail, and cracksales You gotta be able to smile through all this bullshit That's gon' make it hard to smile in the future We lost ourselves forever seekingSearching pole to poleWhile the neelde and the threadStitches us wholeĮmpty shells,Only the shallow know themselvesDeeper and deeper, day by dayTo keep the weary world at bayRaise your mast and fly awayInto a sky of blue and greyNo one to save usSailing our sinking shipsUp and away Orphans of the stormWatch them sail between the wavesOrphans of the stormSay a prayer to wish the rain awayMother's milk and angel hairHoly books and bonesThe sirens on the shoreCalling them homeīreakfast on the lawnIn the sweet September swayHelpless and fornlornSince the pills and powders passed their wayLost themselves, forever seekingSearching pole to poleWhile the needle and the threadStitches them wholeĮmpty shells,Only the shallow know themselvesDeeper and deeper, day by dayTo keep the weary world at bayNo prescription for the painOnly a sky of blue and greyNo one to save them,Sailing their sinking ships up and away
