π Lyrics
I'm sitting alone in this room
Bright flicker in a motion of butterflies for dim light
Thumb turning a page looking insight
The wise do for themselves that's how it is right
The clock reads midnight
I never been in a fight before now my minds at war
With a voice ringing loud in the middle of this brain
A penny for my thoughts a lucrative exchange
All I wanted was to know how to grow with less pain
A prayer on my knees at night should explain
And my mind kept repeating the phrase
If you want the flower to bloom you've got to put it out in the rain
Strange all of a sudden it made sense
Thinking bout the trials and tribs I lived through to get me to this
We can live for the shine of the sun but I'll bet
When it rains yo we all get wet
The sunshine plays a major part in the daytime
The sunshine plays a major part in the daytime
The sunshine plays a major part in the daytime
The sunshine plays a major part in the daytime
Knowin nothin in life, but to be legit
Knowin nothin in life, but to be legit
Knowin nothin in life, but to be legit
Knowin nothin in life, but to be legit
Living to get and never give back
Got you caught up in a miss hap
Reality hits with a roll of quarters as a fist pack
Boarders to pitch black sorta crossed over you slip back
Order a drink, sip that, another and still your lips crack
Brother I'd love to lift that burden, words like learned sermons
From a burned person, number then any skin graft
While under the slip mats your world is turning to gift wrap
Curtains to fit that window you throw your rocks through
When you know no one can stop you
And you feeling like it's hard to continue
Know that God is there with you
Above you, beside you, and yearning to get in you
Certain to mend you, from the hurtin that men do
On earth we been through to much, we ten to do what
The enemy do but in the end only true love
Will prove to be the Light of all men when you lay down your life for your friend.
Knowin nothin in life, but to be legit
Knowin nothin in life, but to be legit
Knowin nothin in life, but to be legit
Knowin nothin in life, but to be legit
Just livin in the city is a serious task
Just livin in the city is a serious task
Just livin in the city is a serious task
Just livin in the city is a serious task
She takes a deep breathe a stressfully yet restless sigh
The hue of the red and blue lights covers their eyes
On the corners where the concrete and tragedy collide
Leaving pieces of homes with broken families inside
Such a beautiful disaster, a devastating victory
A clichΓ© story with a different kind of glory
Her friends reminisce about trips over seas
From houses that over see her little slice of poverty
Grim image, yet she really not concerned with it
She never even touched or crossed the city limits
Excluded from the beauty that the dirty city limits
Given tenements, scars, and treacherous parks
It hard to shoot for the stars it never dark enough to see them
Sewing her cloth of freedom from a thread of understanding
Handing her time over to alkies and crack heads giving
Hope to those souls the streets left for dead
Just livin in the city is a serious task
Just livin in the city is a serious task
Just livin in the city is a serious task
Just livin in the city is a serious task
Bright flicker in a motion of butterflies for dim light
Thumb turning a page looking insight
The wise do for themselves that's how it is right
The clock reads midnight
I never been in a fight before now my minds at war
With a voice ringing loud in the middle of this brain
A penny for my thoughts a lucrative exchange

The sunshine plays a major part in the daytime
The sunshine plays a major part in the daytime
The sunshine plays a major part in the daytime
