Lyrics
Send for him 64
Expressing a need to call someone (him).
He have a rough childhood as well
Referring to a difficult upbringing of an individual.
What was with him being the only black
Raising a question about the person being the only black individual.
Kid used to be up there
Reflecting on the person's past achievements or status.
It used to be rough but he
Describing a challenging period that the person faced.
Used to fight it out he was a ruffian
Highlighting the person's resilience and willingness to confront difficulties.
Tried to move on, but got motion sick
Expressing difficulty in moving forward, experiencing nausea.
It's hard to forget when the dark days hit
Acknowledging the challenge of forgetting dark days.
It's cruel, remember the things I didn't do
Reflecting on the cruelty of remembering things left undone.
And a dark day hit's once more
Describing another instance of a dark and difficult day.
In disbelief at the depth of the skies
Expressing disbelief and awe at the vastness of the sky.
Can't open my eyes nothing holding me down
Feeling unburdened, with nothing holding the person down.
Yet there's weight inside
Despite freedom, there is an internal weight or burden.
Reminds me I'm actually thinking
Contemplating one's thoughts and inner struggles.
I've been thinking 'bout the future
Thinking about the future and its uncertainties.
Feeling things I didn't used to
Experiencing new emotions and feelings not felt before.
I was free, not before but after my fall
Freedom after a fall, a transformation in perspective.
Free to believe in words I didn't mean
Freedom to believe in things previously not considered.
Just to get by i'd rather that than to cry
Choosing survival over tears in difficult times.
It's a hard life
Summarizing life as challenging and difficult.
It's a hard life it's a hard life

You make me happy

Straw that broke the camel's back
Referring to a situation that becomes unbearable.
Don't think I can live with that
Expressing doubt about the ability to endure such situations.
Always seem to fall harder than before
Noting a pattern of falling harder with each challenge.
I'm bruised when it's buried
Feeling hurt when problems are hidden or ignored.
I'm cut when it's open
Experiencing pain when confronted with difficult truths.
I don't think the end is near
Expressing uncertainty about the proximity of the end.
But here's hoping
Expressing hope for a positive outcome despite challenges.
A sign, it woke you last time
Referring to a previous event that served as a warning.
But the learning is making you stronger
Recognizing that learning from challenges makes one stronger.
A little longer, I've been waiting
Implying a desire for the challenging period to end soon.
All this shit's so frustrating
Expressing frustration with the ongoing difficult circumstances.
I was free, not anymore
Noting a loss of freedom compared to a previous state.
Tasting things from before
