kofi stone - hugh lyrics

[intro]
(yeah yeah)
(uh)

[verse 1]
he was just a
young brotha with a dream, brighter than a light beam
his mind couldn’t ever find peace
it might seem that his eyes might gleam
it’s deep, lookin’ at least to find feet
to be specific he was five+foot three
he aimed for the stars, man, he tried like me
a pisces, so despite the slight greed
there was just a couple of things to fine+tweak
he hit the road with nikes, a white tee
the jacket that he wore was torn but quite sheek
enticed by the littlest sight of slight peace
depression was a terrible fight, he tried beat
distorted, he was never advised to ride streets
to go down, a perilous life he quite leads
besides, he was feelin’ confined and quite weak
as he marched on a treacherous path to find peace

[chorus]
smiles can deceive
smiles on the face of a thief
smiles on the face of a cheat
we only believe what we see, we only believe what we see
smiles can deceive
smiles on the face of a thief
smiles on the face of a cheat
we only believe what we see, we only believe what we see
smiles can deceive

[verse 2]
so he grew tired of never havin’, it all
so he started gamblin’, by the pick of the draw
he was winnin’, but just a beginner, he wasn’t sure
and even though it wasn’t apparent, there was a clause
jealous of the others, he figured he wanted more
never one to settle so then he built a rapport
with some brothers who were shady, who never followed the law
of course it was trouble, but that’s the trouble reward
he was floored, layin’ his head on a bed of th+rns
it was raw, a bretha that never weathered a storm
he was worn, he borrowed way more than he could afford
he was torn, they only were givin’ him ’til the morn
it was dawn! he’s sittin’ and wishin’ he wasn’t born
his temperament was severed, and now he dreaded the war
the resentment he was feelin’ was never met with remorse
so many thoughts, now he’s wishin’ he would’ve paused

[verse 3]
he never found what he was seekin’, he was deep in the dark
it was demeanin’, at least he had the p’s in his palm
he was fightin’ through the feelin’ he was keepin’ it calm
never religious, but shivers had him readin’ his psalms
never revealin’, you can see serene in his stance
when the devil wanna boogie, don’t be eager to dance
he’s needin’ a chance, it’s seemin’ that the demons’ll chant
defeatin’ his heart, wishin’ that the feelings’ll pass
he was leavin’ in the evening, he was deep in a trance
knee+deep and he was feelin’ afar, he was feelin’ it hard
it was seemin’ that the feelings’ll last, so through the seasons he was peelin’ apart
he was feelin’ it hard, never rattled but the pressure was high
hard nights, dark times, never had the advice
dark skies seem to hover over his mind, my heart cried
because he took his own life

[outro]
rest in peace, hugh
