Genuardi - letter from orpheus

I promised my father
That I wouldn't go
Down to the depths
No, I wouldn't go
But lately, I've been down
But nobody will ever see
I know I'm closest to my enemies
Look me in the eyes when you look at me
So when we die I know you were my brother
Trying to make it all seem right
'Cause when it ain't right you can't go farther
So let us make a toast my lover
If we got love what's a dollar?
Please tell me what you mean
When you say you ain't got what you need
In this moment I'm having trouble finding me and it hurts
The me that does not let anybody determine my worth
But I try and remember what you got is what you deserve
You better be thankful simply 'cause you walk on this earth
Do not let your ego get too big be humble in space
'Cause the planets and moons and galaxies will laugh in your face
There's nothing to be sad about
So what you sad about?
The doubts that flood up in your mind?
You gotta drown them out
Remember death is around the corner but never fear it
Dry up all those tears of pain 'cause they will rust your spirit
It's easier said than done but if you want it then you'll get it
When you make up your mind you'll realize you are indebted
And I'd rather be in debt to myself than someone else
So I could check my Louie bag and lay it on the belt
I ain't materialistic but I'm with the riches
I'd spend some racks on myself
But millions on my children
Wow I can't believe this is now how I think
A year ago I wouldn't even have seen myself with kids
But after pops died I had to stop lying
I had to face the fact that I cannot stop time
And even though I'm sitting here feeling like I'm a young profit
Reality is I ain't shit I just use my one optic
And I'd still carry my wisdom if I got no pockets
All 'cause
I just want to see myself go farther
Trying to make it all seem right
'Cause when it ain't right you can't go farther
So let us make a toast my lover
If we got love what's a dollar?
Please tell me what you mean
When you say you ain't got what you need
I just want to see myself go farther
Trying to make it all seem right
'Cause when it ain't right you can't go farther
So let us make a toast my lover
If we got love what's a dollar?
Please tell me what you mean
When you say you ain't got what you need
