Happy (Explicit) - Killah Priest
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
A homeless man smiles
At me showing no teeth
A young man laying dead
In the cold streets
He was a victim beaten
Bad by the police
And everyday another funeral
There's more grief
And everyday I like to pray
When I see the Sun
And if there ever was a
Lost Tribe we the one
And every hood there's a project
With us in it
The old man in the dust
Going nuts finished
Years before you say
"You used to own businesson tax
I guess you're black
You gotta know you limit"
And everybody tried to be
Happy someway
I think of dinners in the winter
On a Sunday
And everybody's poor
But we always pull through it
'Cause of Marvin's influence
We always played his music
My Pops said he was a
'Trouble Man' courtesy of Uncle Sam
Then I hit the streets then start hustling
But I could see my Grandma
When she dressed for Church
Her stylish hat white dress
With the matching purse
And I could hear her sing aloud
With the choir marching in
With the face of joy
Proud of her heart's with him
And she could live everlasting
And pure peace
No longer worried eyes
Speaks to him before sleep
And I stood by the door
When she came at me
She said "You gotta endure
And learn to be Happy"
Stood right beside me
Look deep inside me
She has inspired me to be Happy
Stood right beside me
Look deep inside me
She has inspired me to be Happy
My friend wrote his mother:
"Mama I'm doing better now
My last year of College
Told you I wouldn't let you down
And how's things around the house
I know you're still fussing
I finally heard from Ralphie said
"He had a deal coming"
He wrote me last week;
Told me him and Dad don't speak
They both be acting
They're kids if you ask me
But anyway
How come you never wrote me back
This is like my fourth letter to you
I was hoping that
You could send me something
It's getting cold winter's coming
I know you're standing laughing
Saying "I'm up or into something"
I love you mom sincerely yours"
As the nurse pause
From reading her his letter
Body attached to a cord
Into a breathing pump
The stroke she had was too much
She's in the coma
Been that way for a few months
And if her son knew believe
He'll split in two
And go back to using **
Before quitting school
But just smile
'Cause your mother's still here
Try to live and be proud
Make a heart full of cheer
For your mama tranquility she's free
Give your heart space
And liberty and then peace
The words are golden
Emotion devotion
Just hush feel the touch for a moment
My life's a paradox
Watched by crooked cops
But the law carries me just to be
Stood right beside me
Look deep inside me
She has inspired me to be Happy
Stood right beside me
Look deep inside me
She has inspired me to be Happy
Dedicated to my grandmother
Miss Louise Staley
I love you Grandma
