Lyrics

[Intro] [Woman] I'm sick doc, when can you help me? My mind's thinkin' about shit I don't wanna think about [Doc] Pssh.. that's yo' problem [Hook] Comfort me, through all this madness You are this and that Comfort me, through all this madness You are this and that Comfort me, through all this madness You are this and that Comfort me, through all this madness You are this and that [Verse 1: RZA] Yo, check out, yo I never listen to the things that my brother keeps tellin' me Hittin' up thoroughly 'cause my dreams are deep felony Brothers on the beat have desires of hurtin' me My legend on the verge of convertin' me Poppa be tellin' me what I should be Granddad talks up things that I could be Friends are finicky what I'm gonna be When no one ever asked me what I wanna be A teenager, cops keep arresting me, big head and brothers keep testin' me I don't understand, the way my bothers lovin' me Outter world pushin' me, inner world shoving me No tape out but my friends keep provokin' me Commotion is constantly chokin' me Havin' nightmares with guilt that is hurtin' me Tryin to avoid this crab girl that is wantin' me Somebody help me, I've gotta be free Of the trouble of society, I have problems [Hook] Comfort me, through all this madness You are this and that Comfort me, through all this madness You are this and that Comfort me, through all this madness You are this and that [Verse 2: RZA] Now they got me out buggin', strung out on crack Be gettin' discriminated because I'm black My house once was a mansion but now it's a shack My best friend talked about me, behind my back Things would change, I thought that at first, right? Time goes on, things got worst Poppa now drinking, and he hit me When I relayed it to my girl, she quit me Tryin' to make a better way something keeps holdin' me Dad leaves mom, now she is schoolin' me My brother fightin' me, neighbor dog bitin' me What is goin' down? No one is invitin' me Be put into the parcel, it's not healin' me Broke as sex and it's killin' me I was a good citizen, now I'm a leech Get some other girl to increase my grief My mom said that she better off without me No girl, no friends, who cares about me? Granddad is mad, about to have a heart attack Grandma is worried, she may think I'm on crack I could collapse but I could feel myself Come to the conclusion, maybe I should kill myself You see what I'm going through? I have problems, what can I do? [Hook] Comfort me, through all this madness You are this and that Comfort me, through all this madness You are this and that Comfort me, through all this madness You are this and that Comfort me, through all this madness You are this and that [Verse 3: RZA] I go to sleep to keep my mind from my sorrow Hopin it'll be a new and better day tomorrow And as I sleep, I dream, rearrangin, changin all bad things The light is clear, my thoughts flushed loose Things that I do well I put it to use I rap, I write, I co' rock the mic I do things good 'cause it's things that I like So I make the demo tape with my voice on track Took it to Melquan, he sent it back With a note attached sayin' he admired me Made me a contract and then hired me Now I'm makin' records, everybody praise me Do I get scooped, man? It doesn't phaze me My rep is known all on the town I once was lost but now I'm found Put the pen to the fullest, brand new attitude To those who helped me, I give my gratitude Have a new girl, new friends, new ways Could pass the gun now I have a new thing It is true we all have problems Well reach down inside of yourself and you'll solve those problems... [Hook] Comfort me, through all this madness You are this and that [Outro: RZA] Divine Prince Master Rakeem Allah
