The Puzzle
Brother Ali

Who's to blame for the state I'm innI play my cards but somehow I can't winnnnListen when life leaves you beaten upnDon't lay around in it, hurry pick them pieces upnCling closely to the people you lovenThey're your umbrella when the weathers toughnSee to it that your head is upnIf not just remember thisnJust never let your chest and your chin touch in publicnThose that stand against us would love thisnMan fuck them, something's bugging em'nThey feel inadequate or something and that's been dug in em'nSo deep they can't stand someone else making shitnPlayer hatred, same concept created SatannPlay em, no never mind let em play their partnThey're here to make us prove we are what we say we arenWe say we are the hard heartednBeen discarded from everything we've ever been part ofnThey just robbed itnUnguarded, tormented and torturednAnd got nothing but scars and grey hairs to show for itnFuck that, every stone that's ever been cast or blow that ever landednHelped to build that man that's standing before your bitch assnAnd back to wreak havoc and never retired, retreated or recantednI, don't expect you to have stood where I'm standingnWhy, repsect is the only thing I'm demandingnTry, you and I could build this understandingnYou can't honestly shake unless you know where my hand's been brothernnnThis is a piece of my puzzle nownThrough the years I found peace in my struggle nownIf we were put here to carry a great weightnThe very things we hate are here to build those musclesnThis is a piece of my puzzle nownThrough the years I found peace in my struggle nown(Who'se to blame for the state I'm in - Yours trulynI play my cards but somehow I can't win)nnnListen I was taught that mistakes made with great intentionsnWere never sins but where life lessons beginnNow that I'm 27, single father starting over yet againnI am who I have to forgivenLost my mumma to cancer, closed a 10 year chapter shortly afternCan't deny that was some shitnAlone in this life would've been at my throat with a knife chopnWere it not for my passion to livenFollow my soul, not that I don't know the penaltynBut that's the legacy that I pass to my kidsnHeard of shining in the heat of the momentnAnd won my freedom the moment I realised that's what this...nnnnnI can't believe my eyes LordnI don't know what I'm seeingnI done watched them smash into little pieces everything I've been buildingnI can't believe my ears LordnI don't know what I'm hearingnI heard they smash into little pieces everything I've been buildingnnWho'se to blame for the state I'm innI play my cards but somehow I can't win
