Sorrow
Copywrite feat. Don Jaga and Illogic Lyrics

Yea, I'd like to take a second - smooth things out on this one.
Let's take a moment to calm down and approach this song thoughtfully.

So, if you smoke and drink away the pain
If you are relying on substances to distract from your emotional pain,

And you're trying to change but things just remain the same
And even though you are attempting to improve your situation, nothing seems to be working,

Face reality again and kill that sorrow
It's time to confront what's causing your pain and overcome it.

Watch the world die slow when you're full of sorrow
If you allow your sadness to consume you, you'll start to see everything in a negative light and lose hope.

Life's too fking good to spend it all full of sorrow
Life is too precious to be spent feeling miserable.

Mirror mirror on the magic wall
Addressing a magical mirror,

I grab my balls, ask away, I'll shake ...em, you'll get your answer ya'll
Asserting confidence in seeking answers to life's questions no matter how difficult they may be.

Blast away your brain â€" that's the cure for cancer ya'll
Sarcastically suggesting that destroying your brain with drugs is a remedy for cancer, pointing out that there are no instant solutions to life's problems.

Live in a world with answers wrong, slim chance to chance it all
Living in a world where the right answers are hard to come by and taking big risks is unlikely to pay off.

So why we really here, that's too deep to talk about
Questioning the purpose of life and how it's difficult to come up with an answer that fully satisfies everyone.

So we get Philly's beer, do E and cough a clap
Escaping reality by drinking beer and using drugs.

To keep it all the way honest, I'm still not over
Being truthful about still struggling with the loss of loved ones.

The death of my mama or father, I'm trying to get by it, I promise
Struggling with the grief of parents' death but seeking to move forward with life.

Plus I don't owe you shi and vice versa
Not feeling obligated to anyone or anything, and people not having to be obligated to oneself.

My life's worth this raise but it made my vice worser
Acknowledging that while his life has improved financially, his addiction has gotten worse.

I keep trying to stare my addiction dead in the eyes
Challenging and confronting his addiction head-on.

Another staring contest lost, not getting a prize
Struggling with the addiction and not being able to overcome it.

Alright, I'm living in the same house my mom died
Living in the same home where his mother passed away.

I swear I hear my mom's cries on quiet calm nights
Hearing the voice of his mother and the desire to have her back.

Maybe that's why I cause a riot on site
Lashing out and being aggressive, possibly due to a deep-seated emotional pain.

Got me violent, trying to fight, just trying to be nice
Being easily agitated and wanting to resolve the situation regardless of how aggressive.

What happens when your grip on reality starts slipping
What occurs when one loses touch with reality.

(You?) gradually start flipping and families start tripping
Slowly losing one's mind and causing family members to worry

Even Adam and Eve had to be deceived; even the fk ups were
Even the most major historical figures had their fair share of mistakes and shortcomings.

Written so second time around won't fk up the vision
Documented and passed down through time so that others can learn from past mistakes and shortcomings.

I'm at the bottom, under this ladder, trying to climb it
Feeling like life is a climb with a low starting point.

If paradise is lost, I'm trying to find it
If happiness is unattainable, the aim is to search for it.

Time is of the essence - there's lessons to be mastered
Time is valuable, and there's always something to be learned or improved upon.

After time died, just killing time, no longer a past time practiced
No longer spending idle time with relaxation and diversion now that time has evolved.

Weeks go by, the sun rises and sets
Time keeps moving forward, even if nothing dramatic happens along the way.

We don't die ...cause triumph has no regret
We keep going because we are capable of winning with no regrets along the way.

Absolute truth hasn't been born yet
The objective truth about life has yet to be discovered.

For most (axed?) the youth when the horn bled for hope If they cried
Even though hopefulness exists, it can still be difficult for young people to see beyond their struggles.

The tears shed and we wonder why
Not comprehending why it is that we're brought to tears.

See, I'll do anything to wake the dead and feel alive
Going to great lengths to capture the spirit of someone who's no longer alive.

In my head I'm still alive, walking, speaking with my head up
Believing that in one's own mind, one can still interact with someone who is no longer with us.

...Til the weekend, where nothing inspires me to get up
Feeling uninspired to move out of bed when the weekend comes around.

Now speed up the pace to continue to chase
Moving quickly and with purpose to continue seeking an objective in life

Don't procrastinate — time's to precious to leave to waste
Avoid putting off things because time is too valuable to waste.

It's running out of runway; we'll touch the clouds one day
Time is quickly passing us by and eventually we will reach our goals.

Until that day I wait ...cause I love how this sand tastes
In the meantime, accepting present circumstances and enjoying life in the moment.

With work I'll keep my eyes to the sky
By applying oneself, one can achieve success and reach new heights.

In a world of mastered lies, there's no time to play
In a society where dishonesty is prevalent, there's no room for games and gimmicks.

You'll survive, all you got to do is try
You will persevere, as long as you make an effort.

And remember even angels ain't too fly to pray
Even the most divine beings still find solace in prayer and reflection.

So this shouldn't be a surprise
This should not come as a shock.

Just open your eyes to see what I say
Be receptive and aware of what's being communicated.

...Cause the sun still shines in the hearts of the blind
Even if one cannot physically see, the warmth of the sun can still be felt.

So I'll be on my way
I'm moving forward with my journey.
