Lupe Fiasco - Piru Blues Lyrics
(Chorus)Show me how to breathe againGive me a reason to endThis pain and all the sufferingIs there something, can I waitIt's hard to believe againIs it something? It may be nothing (nothing)(Verse 1)Blood stains on the camouflage jacketAnd love pained hands on the fully automaticShe looks into the eyes of her comrade slash loverComcast CSPAN cover warfare rages on the otherSide of the world where the revolution uddersIn a language besides brotherly love for the sufferersIt's the sacrifice that touches herHe brushes her cheek smeared with black smudges ofAll the dirt he picked up from falling to the earthWhere them things fall so far to love and so into berserkSupplies in the church but nothing of worthThat can repair the heart so out comes the tears and in come the visionGargoyles and griffins, the tension, the ?, the stiffin, releaseOn his way to God, guarded by the beastShe picks up his rifle and rushes to the street(Chorus)Show me how to breathe againGive me a reason to endThis pain and all the sufferingIs there something, can I waitIt's hard to believe againIs it something? It may be nothing (nothing)(Verse 2)With blood stains on the chinchilla furAnd a hundred bullet holes in the Rolls Royce SpurtThrough designer sunglasses the world is a blurDiamonds are being ripped from the neck of a thirdSecond and first seem so unneededBut this one she feels that he got what he deservedTHe money floats, the liquor spillsShe dances on macabres and nigger-as being killedSkeletons dance with her, a elegant prance amidst theWhores and the drunks, the sinners and the punksA parliament of fools baptized in the funkCologne don't stop bullets no matter where you put itBut they spray it in the trunk, it mixes with the bloodAnd the residue of drugs, it hits her all at onceStings the nostrilsAs our Rihanna as Madonna in nirvanaBe witches in other hostel(Chorus)Show me how to breathe againGive me a reason to endThis pain and all the sufferingIs there something, can I waitIt's hard to believe againIs it something? It may be nothing (nothing)(Chorus)Show me how to breathe againGive me a reason to endThis pain and all the sufferingIs there something, can I waitIt's hard to believe againIs it something? It may be nothing (nothing)(Verse 3)With blood stains on the maxi pad missingWe welcome another soul into the land of the livingSomething about the mirror so different, it smilesNow how could glass smileSo she runs into the kitchenThe microwave the spoons and the platesEverywhere where there's a reflection of her faceThe turned off TV, the cell phone and laptop screen beLooking jubilant as JeezyIn the trap or Gucci in the chain shopA fan getting name droppedThis wasn't in the plans but the pain stoppedAnd held the daffodilsPleasant surprise not in the newspaper horoscopeOr seen in the leaves of a chamomileShe must've missed itProbably surprised out of the bag cause she dissed itLearned her lesson, she feels terrific(Chorus)Show me how to breathe againGive me a reason to endThis pain and all the sufferingIs there something, can I waitIt's hard to believe againIs it something? It may be nothing (nothing)
