Lyrics

*Scene From My Cousin Vinny* Vinny Gambini (Joe Pesci): What are you nervous about? I'm the one that's under the gun here. Trial starts tomorrow Lisa (Marisa Tomei): You wanna know what I'm nervous about? I'll tell you what I'm nervous about! I am in the dark here with all this legal crap. I have no idea what's going on. All I know is that you're screwing up and I can't help Lisa: I'm watching you go down in flames, and you're bringing me with you and I can't do anything about it! [Verse 1: Sevin] Yeah yeah Collect my thoughts I done sat inside plenty of jails Feet kicked up Ain't nobody sending me bail Since my birth I've been cursed Life's sinful as hell Tried to get right but I eventually fail The hard lessons I've learned ain't never sent me to Yale My scholarship just follows cemeteries and cells I've seen dead bodies stiffen with their skin turning pale Tippin' Hen with coke resin in the end of my nails Yeah The pain's normal when you're born to die alone Horrible turmoil's the only storm that I have known So I speak for the street cuz they relate to my story They zone out Blowin grapes with a 40 I'm too great to ignore me The talent means nada when ya poor Can't afford the distribution to keep ya product in the store I'm a product of the ghetto Just another slave Bound to the underground Just like my brother's grave [Chorus: Sevin] I belong to the city And I belong to the night In the middle of darkness I'm a man of the light [Verse 2: Sevin] Yeah So many battles in my mind and I ain't figured out my soul Dissolvin' over time and tryin' to fizzle out my glow Trying to eat but somebody cut the middle out my bowl Disgust about my life and kinda bitter bout my role Everything I own is cursed mane And this is how I know Couple little things was given But a big amount I stole I done figured out that I shouldn't doubt that a niggas bout to blow But I should still try to do my best to dig up out this hole Yeah Enjoying life is a project cuz I am stuck in the middle Don't wanna live but I ain't ready to die yet Successes now a blessin' I can barely conceive Depression in my chest I need some therapy to breathe Playin' tug of war with the alcoholic urges of the flesh I win less and I lose due to burdens of distress I done realized my life is just a ripple in a stream And it's sad All I ever had's a pistol and a dream [Chorus: Sevin] I belong to the city And I belong to the night In the middle of darkness I'm a man of the light [Verse 3: Sevin] Yeah Yeah yeah I'm aware my soul is filthy but I ignore the stain Slept in the gutter with no help Or shelter from the pouring rain In order to change you gotta see there's more to gain But our sight is often blinded cuz we grieve with mortal pain I know the game mane I got no reason to lie for I spit this for my niggas that I'll bleed and I'll die for The youngsters in the gutter all the seeds that I'll cry for I love ya'll and I'll put that on the beat that I'll ride for Immortalize my fam Put my folks in a song We so close and right now I need 'em most But they gone Lil marcus and day day Don Deezee and Devin Sniff the Damu Platinum T My nigga Kevin Demarcus and Mike Lil Ryan and Khalid Young David Lord bless my niggas dyin' in the street I'm one of the many that might not ever see the light So please let your peace sleep in bed with me tonight *Scene From My Cousin Vinny* Vinny Gambini (Joe Pesci): Lisa, I don't need this. I swear to God, I do not need this right now, okay? I've got a judge that's just aching to throw me in jail. An idiot who wants to fight me for two hundred dollars. I ain't slept in five days. I got no money, ....my career, your life, our marriage, and let me see, what else can we pile on? Is there any more **** we can pile on? Is it possible?
