Now people say I'm jinxed I got some kind of voodoo hex/ Life is so complex there's no telling what could happen next/ Life on the edge, fuels the sickness in my head it imbeds the type of thoughts that got a lot of brothers dead/ The smarter brother knows to keep his foes close and I'm the type of brothers that smarter than most/ A cold hearted overdose of lyrical antidotes/ The cure to make sure my karma can't take me down/ Up to the same old tricks I wonder if I'll stick around is a penny really lucky/ If you find it on the ground?/ what's the problem with this town? I can't figure it out my karma's crashing down in the form of a black cloud.

Chorus: I've got a little black cloud, that follows me everywhere I go it takes over me (X2)

I'm sick/ I 've got an ill disposition my intentions are pure but there's a cure for my condition/ My decisions put me in the wrong positions/ Chasing pipe dreams of fame and recognition/ The Epic/ Not only a name a definition/ My game remains no matter the pain/ I stay the charmer/ The Don of Karma/ I navigate like the Dalli Lama/ I ain't a saint but I've got Joi de vie and I'm the one to blame If the cloud rains on me / I can't complain about it or even let regret/ Provoke the energy it takes/ For me to get upset/ A bad boy since birth so I can't forget/ what goes around comes around and it ain't got me yet/ I've gotten wise in my age and tame the threat of my rage/ I've got allot to learn and I've got money to spend to pretend is reaping more than sewing ever could mend.

CHORUS: Trade my torches for a dime. The pressure's fading away now. Black cloud's lifted for the light The pressure's fading away now. A thousands cigarettes won't change the way we feel, The pressure's fading now, can you bare the though of knowing truth? Knowing truth?.

I was rapping in the rain hoping that my luck would change and if there's any truth to all those all sayings/ 'cause if I kill a spider would my house catch on fire? If I walk under a ladder would it matter ? I tend to laugh when black cats cross my path/ Break mirrors in half Just to test the aftermath/ Now here comes the rain/I protect my pain/Trying to make sense of these crazy things/ I'm a diamond in the rough could I suffer enough? I'm getting high for a living not giving a fuck/ These hard times got me stuck, stuck in a jam/I'm the monkey on your back and the crack in the dam/ Disastrous/ Took time to master this and the past is just a map to capture this/ In the darkness I'm force to adapt to this/ I would change the past if I could have one wish.

Chorus: Trade my torches for a dime. The pressure's fading away now. Black cloud's lifted for the light The pressure's fading away now. A thousands cigarettes won't change the way we feel, The pressure's fading now, can you bare the though of knowing truth? Knowing truth?
