Killer Mike - Shed Tears ft. Mozzy, Lena Byrd Miles [Audio]

Troubled youngin, unload firearms, then think nothing of it

Product of my environment, I am nothing but it

We prepare ourself for the penitentiary, it come with thuggin'

Ayy, mama told me it get lonely in that cell

But she ain't tell me it'll break you, sis, I thank you for your mail

Poppin' pills 'til I can't feel, somebody save me from myself

Giveaways is bool and all, let's do some s- that'll really help

'Member granny grabbed the belt and went berserk about us smokin'

Get teary-eyed about them moments, they was golden

Yeah, rainy days approaching, we was sheltered, do they help her?

Wish I could hit your cellular, without you here, I'm helpless

I'll give you rest, rest for, rest for (rest for your soul)

I'm standin' here waitin'

Come unto me, I'll give you rest

Don't be afraid to rest (rest for your soul)

I shed tears every morning in the bathroom mirror

Face to face with fate, had to face my fears

It was me, I'm the reason that I fell

That was hell, locked in self-guilt like jail

Lord, I cried, almost died, empty inside

The devil whispers in your ear, you contemplate suicide

I tell you I know, promise, honest, been there before

And it's pride before the fall, it's how it usually go

Lookin' at me, I was struttin', proud as can be

Couldn't tell me nothin', I was hushin' people, peak of the G

I heard my ancestor voices, now they speakin' through me

Sometime my faith get fully shaken, I get weak as can be

Pray and repent, gather my strength, fast like it's lent

The devil sent the storm to break me, but I didn't buy a Bent'

Won't buy a bin, I'll suffer, then will do it again

Made it to the mountaintop straight from the valley of sin

I've been delivered some pain

When you're feeling tired

I guess it comes with the game

When you're feeling broken (Rest for your soul)

For those who suffered for years

When you're feeling burdened

Th-th-that's why I shed tears

I will give you rest

I've had to live with some pain

Rest, come unto me

I guess it come with the game

I'll give you (rest for your soul)

For those who suffered for years

I'm your refuge, any day you can find me

Th-th-that's why I shed tears

Oh, rest (rest for your soul)

For your soul, for your soul (come unto me, I'll give you rest)

Rest, rest, rest for your soul

I'll give you rest, rest for your soul
