Thursday in the Danger Room (feat. Kamasi Washington) letraRun the Jewels Thursday in the Danger Room (feat. Kamasi Washington) letra |
| (El-P:) |
| Right for a right, wrong for a wrong |
| This is clearly not life's design |
| Figure out quickly that nothing gets answered |
| When you ask the universe why |
| Life is a journey, to live is to worry |
| To love is to lose your damn mind |
| But living's a blessing so I am not stressing |
| 'Cause some of my friends ain't survived |
| That's the release, but in much bigger pieces, I'm living on limited time |
| Like how do you look in the eyes of a friend and not cry when you know that they're dying? |
| How do you feel 'bout yourself when you know that sometimes you had wished they were gone? |
| Not because you didn't love 'em but just because you felt too weak to be strong |
| You couldn't bear to see someone who prided themselves on the strength to feel weak |
| You prove to your randomness, hold it for ransom, that life will not fade in your dreams |
| You see that they're fighting and know that they're losing but still you make jokes and you laugh |
| 'Cause you know despite all the sadness that you better get the good times while they last |
| Now every new word that they speak you are already feeling like it's in the past |
| And when they all gone you just try to move on 'cause the memory's hurting too bad |
| Grown up so much and I wonder who you'd've become if you stuck for a while |
| Just know that I love you, good friend, ain't forget you, and when I remember I smile |
| (Killer Mike & El-P:) |
| And I guess I'd say I'll see you soon |
| But the truth is that I see you now |
| Still talk to you like you're around |
| And I guess I say you left too soon |
| But the truth is that you never left |
| 'Cause I never let myself forget |
| (Killer Mike:) |
| An eye for an eye, and a tooth for the tooth |
| Will leave us all mumbling and blind |
| So we stumble blind through depths of the dark |
| Looking for something divine |
| Life is a journey, to live is to suffer |
| And I have been suffering through mine |
| But living's a blessing so I ain't no stressing |
| 'Cause some of my niggas ain't 'round |
| He got no drama but his baby mama is still on my line and she cryin' |
| I searched for the words to give her some comfort for her soul and spirit and mind |
| I tell her that it'll be fine |
| But deep down I know that I'm lying |
| The family came took rings and his chains |
| The bank took the house and the rights |
| The only thing left was his child, and she had a smile in his eyes |
| So much to the soul, when the grandmama kept her, she'd look at her sometime and cry |
| The very next day she cried |
| And day after day she cried |
| Then called baby mama and told her "I'm sorry, can't keep her no more, I have tried" |
| No killer was captured, but I know he listening |
| So I'd like to tell you in song |
| The streets was a jungle, I pray that you made it, I hope that you righted your wrongs |
| I hope that you learn, I hope that you changed so your mama won't know this pain |
| So my homie's name will mean something more than a nigga got killed for a chain |
| (Killer Mike & El-P:) |
| And I guess I'd say I'll see you soon |
| But the truth is that I see you now |
| Still talk to you like you're around |
| And I guess I say you left too soon |
| But the truth is that you never left |
| 'Cause I never let myself forget |
