Jokerr, The - The Rafters Lyrics






We all live an untold story that we long to unfold
Look around from the rafters, there's no mistakes at all
We all live an untold story that we wish we could quickly unfold
Looking down from the rafters we only grow even if we fall

Yo, I sit again here with a blank look and I'm gonna get my rap in
It's been a whole minute but I'm back I gotta vent, it's my passion
Took a long hard look at the condition of my life and I just don't like it
Spent a whole damn year and I'm still right here and undecided
OHoOo-oHOO! Still here singing like, OhoO-OoOH Yeah!
Then 3-2-1 then I'm back to the rap like it ain't nobody's business
I'm thinking it's the least I can do while I'm here trying to shake this deadly sickness
Damn it I get so angry inside that I can't contain it and I get mad at the way that I'm feeling and I'm left with no explanation
And I watch myself punch holes in the walls of every one of my relationships and the people who only love me get to bear the brunt of all my frustrations
Oh, what a waste of breath what a waste of a man
I could die right here in the place that I stand and my bones in the wind get erased in the sand what an ever so curious case that I am
Will I leave me a legacy, will I ever turn around or hang my head as the saddest sounds resound singing

We all live an untold story that we long to unfold
Look around from the rafters, there's no mistakes at all
We all live an untold story that we wish we could quickly unfold
Looking down from the rafters we only grow even if we fall

Yo I sit again here thinking back to a time when I use to sing so freely
I came to the mic with nothing but the words on my mind at the time it was easy
They'd roll right off the tongue, and I'd escape in the sound
I'd lose myself in the music 8 Mile shit while the problems drown
But NoOo-HoOo! You feeling what I'm saying now? NoOo-HOOOOhoO!
Now it's all long gone and I wish so bad I could go back
Will it happen again will I get that chance? Oh who knows that
Right now all I know is it's crushing this pressure I'm feeling
And I need this music more than ever to keep it from building
It's an outlet I've neglected to utilize as of lately and as a consequence I've been an grumpy bitch and everybody around me just hates me
Listen
I got these problems I've been stuck in a vicious cycle and lately I've been looking at my life like a sinking ship with no lifeboat
Is it just for a time that I'm meant to be this way?
Or is this a picture of how I'm to forever stay?
Forever stay...

We all live an untold story that we long to unfold
Look around from the rafters, there's no mistakes at all
We all live an untold story that we wish we could quickly unfold
Looking down from the rafters we only grow even if we fall

So I'm back on my bullshit God forgive my unbelief
I pray every night but it feels like nothing but a bunch of redundant speech
Then as soon as I get what I want I'm like ("Thanks, bye!") then then slam the door
Then when shit goes bad I'm right back down on my knees to ask for more
I wish I had the courage the face it it's overwhelming my dreams are all like mirages I chase them they're slowly melting
And I look on helpless as the fire dies
I can only hope that one day I will find that we all...

    I wonder if you know my friend?..Frances is her name..She lost her young son in a tragic road accident a few years ago.Now my friend was devastated.But she carried on as best she could. It was a struggle but she kept on.Her love of music helped her carry on. She finally received her sons insurance money for the accident. Frances did not want the money. She regarded it as blood money.She was friendly with a few Rap artists. She wanted to use the money for a good cause. Also as an investment for her other three boys. She handed out thousands!.The artists were grateful to her..all were happy..But now time has passed and Frances needs her return on her investment but feet are being dragged, stories abound about reasons for the no show of her investment. She now sits disabled in her house, housebound.The house needs a lot done to it. She has lost heart. She cries a lot. Its pitiful to sit in her company. She has been let down badly.In fact its a sin. She tries and tries to get some comeback on her investment but she speaks to the wind.They don't want to listen. Now listen you artists that owe my friend money please do the right thing by her and her sons memory and pay her dues. She trusted and loved you all. If you have any humanity or dignity in your body please arrange to get my friend her money, either in part or in full. My friends health has failed so much that I fear for her. I keep constant touch with my friend because I care!.But rest assured if anything happens to my friend I am in no doubt who caused it and I wont rest until justice is done in my friends name and her sons...R.I.P Anthony..Your mum is trying. This is the first of perhaps many notes about my Friend..Till she receives a return on her trust and investment....Do the right thing!!..Show compassion..Pay your dues asap..

  20. T.... P....

  92. N.... H....

    Man who makes your beats?! Those are sick! it's hard for me to listen to music if it doesn't have all elements of good music. can't just have good lyrics. has to flow in a good and complex way and have a complex beat. you sir, have accomplished this in many of your songs....

    N.... H....

    Nick Heyse I produce all my own music from scratch for the most part.

    N.... H....

    The Jokerr fucking prime beats. Love the vibes it gives

    N.... H....

    The Jokerr I noticed in one of your vids you were playing the drums as well. that's sick man. as a drummer myself I can see the talent you hold. it's a gift man.

    N.... H....

    He's also is a sound engineer.

  93. B.... H....

    Damn but I get so angry inside that I cant contain it
    And I get mad at the way im feeling and im left with no explanation
    And I watch myself punch holes in the walls every one of my relationships
    And the people who only love me get to bear the brunt of all my frustrations
    Oh what a waste of breath what a waste of a man
    He could die right in the place that I stand
    and my bones in the wind get erased in the sand
    What an ever so curious case that I am
    Wanna leave me a legacy will I ever turn around
    or hang my head as the saddest sounds resound

  94. G.... ....

    Yo Man this was very good like you send a great message and you are amazing i hope if you do a tour and come to pueblo colorado ill go to it but yeah keep it up Joker you are amazing
