kevin anglade - the book (of eli) lyrics

news clip #1: i can’t sleep, i can’t eat because my grandson will never come home again. and i lost my heart, that was my baby
news clip #2: what did you gain? except for becoming a murderer. except for taking somebody else’s child. like, they sit there and talk about black lives matter, no it don’t!
intro (eli): when i was nine years old, my brother gave me a journal and told me to write down my feelings, thoughts, experiences; and so, eight years later, looking back now, i realized i been through so much…now’s the timе to write my story…
verse: growing up in philly man it’s lifе or luck/cause when those bullets get to spraying, know you better duck/and we throwin’ up the city like a fever, yuck!/been outta control since i was a buck/if a villain preying on me know the heater is tucked/flying all around the city like a hockey puck/nothing good here boy only bad news/it’s a curse when a he+rs+ gives a family the blues/wanna live, wanna die? it’s for you to pick and choose/just the other day it almost came to blows when the opps spun the block/almost turned us to rose/sipping 40’s on the stoop, lacked our poles so we froze/but tell me why we beefin’ cause the colors of our clothes/it’s kinda like we fighting for some power through a pose/the doves don’t feel our pain as we murder the crows/only way to know our name, tagging the toes/the summer gettin’ cold you can hear it through my prose/the temperature drops from a high to the lows/bout a week ago little girl had lost her life/she was riding bike on cottman then a shooter gave her strife/was sister of my homie so it pierced me like a knife/hide your mother, hide your kids/even your wife/living in the city best believe/expect the trife/all i have to say is lady luck/give me life!
outro (eli): yeah, it’s a lot going on in the city right about now. but, someway, somehow, we just keep pushing you know? it’s like, what else is there to do? just praying…lady luck…give me life…
fcx news (second segment): this just in…the gun violence in philadelphia has reached astronomical numbers as it has been reported that there have been over three hundred shootings as of june. with another half of a year to go, law enforcement and city officials hope to quell the violence before it reaches its peak
