KnowMads – River Runs Deep 0

Yo I once knew a man he started off a boy His whole damn life he never really been employed
He was only 19 had a chance to go to college try out his luck to see if he could gain knowledge
Think about your life or whatever you call it Now he’s just a cluck dead broke alcoholic
Used to keep a picture of his girl in his wallet Think about your life or whatever you would call it
He walk home late cuz the city don’t sleep He was only 19 but the river runs deep
Wrote raps in his head so he didn’t really speak about the crushed up pills that he took in one week
One week turned to two two weeks turned to 4 now long term addiction knocking at his door
Starting losing weight coming late looking drunk and His family and friends said he was up to something
Got to the point where he couldn’t even function Calling up his dealer begging give me something
I just got evicted I ain't got nothing the dealer was a prick his reply was reluctant
I can get you high off the shit no body fuck with even all the fiends know better than to touch it
He was 19 begging please give me something said to the kid I don’t know if you can trust it
But I got a lot so push it to the public watch out for the cops and rats on some thug shit
Here’s for your protection lending you this pistol pretending it was pure but he knew that it was crystal
Looked like shards of glass and I hope this ain't a issue Plus if you snitch well your mother gonna miss you
Now he’s lost his path school and direction kicked out his pad after land lord inspection
All he ever had was his rhymes and a dream now he’s living on the streets at the age of 19
Feel the meth in his lungs and the son starts to tweak never saw 21 yall the river runs deep
Yo I once knew a man he started off a boy His whole damn life he never really been employed
Until he turned 19 got a job at the college Working on the radio where he could spread knowledge
He thought about his life and how he wanted to recall it Still he barley ever had a dollar in his wallet
He quit smoking weed figured that he needed time so that he could make a difference in other peoples’ lives
Stared saving money cleared out his mind No longer drinking just thinking about his rhymes
He walk home late cuz the city don’t sleep He was only 19 but the river runs deep
He walk home late cuz the city don’t sleep He was only 19 but the river runs deep
Wrote raps in his head so he didn’t really speak to his homies about the books he read in one week
One week turned to two, two weeks turned to four plus on the side labels knocking at his door
Started gaining fame he be gone away for months and family and friends said isn’t he something
Worked at the food back a block from the Ave where this guy smoked meth and kept rocks from a bag
Told the kid he was grateful that he was helping out cuz he knew first hand he could have gone another rout
The river runs deep please kid hold on the people that we meet the only thing to keep us strong
He could have been selfish could have lost it all instead he graduated early no adderall
Called up his producer the one that he trusted said to the homie yo please give me something
This guy was a dick his replay was reluctant now he gotta find some new beats he could fuck with
I could make you rich if you switch to this club shit he was 19 begging please give me something
Gave the kid gimmicks said push it to the public pretended it was pure but he knew it was corrupted
You have to go solo we hope this ain't a issue, family and friends leave behind they won’t miss you
This guy was a douchbag he hung up the call started self promoting thinking really fuck them all
Recording every day then he posted on his blog freestyle clear spitting through the fog
Best decision that he made quitting beer twisting logs now he live with no fear said he listen to the gods
