Scarface, Kelly Price - What Can I Do? (Album Version (Explicit))(2002)

[00:04.22] Oh what can I do
[00:17.58] What can I do
[00:21.65] To make it better, yeah, yeah
[00:24.72] I thank the Lord for every morning he allows me to rise
[00:27.71] And though the sun is shining there's a cloud in the sky
[00:30.82] Letting me know that at any moment there could be rain
[00:33.79] And as beautiful as life is there still could be pain
[00:36.97] Down the block I hear the sirens just-a screaming away
[00:39.85] And then the inevitable happens the ending of days
[00:42.74] Sad as it sounds, that's the price we've all got to pay
[00:46.01] And the whole world knows the Lord give it and take it away
[00:49.15] Live and I learn, I sit and watch my cigarette burn
[00:52.20] Down to the ash, reminds me of the now and the past
[00:55.38] I save me a prayer it's eventually I'll stand in the path
[00:58.46] Of the souls on the dark roads that leads to the man
[01:01.08] Do you hear them crying?
[01:04.74] Waiting for someone
[01:06.58] To come and dry these tears
[01:10.02] Take away their fears
[01:13.85] Another child is born bloody naked, clinging to life
[01:16.76] Unaware of his surroundings or if breathing is right
[01:19.71] In the arms of his mother as he looks in her eyes
[01:23.05] He takes his first breath and he screams
[01:24.95] The baby's alive
[01:26.23] And at the same time another mother murders her kids
[01:29.08] And the unbearable thought of this here just brings me to tears
[01:32.04] It's hard enough we got to raise our kids to live in this world
[01:35.19] So full of hate with no fate, and you're killing your pearls
[01:38.22] And sometimes I got to sit it down and wonder myself
[01:41.34] But then again I ain't Jesus and I couldn't help
[01:44.68] But all I can do is hope I never live with the fact
[01:47.25] That I hurt one of my seeds, 'cause dealing with that
[01:50.53] Would be the hardest thing I'd ever have to do in my time
[01:53.63] I'd have to take my own life too and I couldn't climb
[01:56.58] That stairway that you hear me sing about in my rhyme
[01:59.95] And a parent hurting his kid ain't a sign of the time
[02:02.95] I know there's truth in that statement we just living to die
[02:05.97] But I believe if you live it right, you'll live in the sky
[02:09.12] Looking down on the good and the bad, the world as a whole
[02:12.31] Now hopefully you did what you did 'fore you had to go
[02:15.61] Do you hear them crying?
[02:18.54] Waiting for someone
[02:20.26] To come and dry these tears
[02:24.22] Take away their fears
[02:27.42] Can I make it better?
[02:30.83] Can I ease the pain
[02:33.01] That they are going through?
[02:36.07] What can I do? what can I do?
[02:39.92] I say goodbye to you cruel world, I see peace in the red sky
[02:43.13] I see the beast when the dead die, relief when my head's high
[02:44.83] Hear the streets up ahead cry, when the heat from the lead fly
[02:49.68] Felt the grief when I said bye, before the sheets on my bed dried
[02:52.35] The turn of the table, the tale of the tape
[02:55.19] The destruction of human flesh of the not so great
[02:58.24] The long list of the John Doe's that accompany the spirit
[03:01.59] As the yells of the souls lost with hopes that god hears it
[03:04.77] The resurrections of empty hearts crowd in the room
[03:07.68] Muffled sounds of the outside echo the tomb, but I'm cool
[03:11.08] Do you hear me?
[03:13.80] The crying
[03:16.43] Do you hear them crying?
[03:20.37] Waiting for someone
[03:22.26] To come and dry these tears
[03:25.76] Take away their fears
[03:27.61] Can I make it better?
[03:32.44] Can I ease the pain
[03:34.52] That they are going through?
[03:36.97] What can I do?
[03:41.31] Do you hear them crying?
[03:44.95] Waiting for someone
[03:46.98] To come and dry their tears
[03:50.33] Take away their fears
[03:53.39] Can I make it better?
[03:57.15] Can I ease the pain
[03:59.26] That they are going through?
[04:02.41] What can I do?
[04:04.68]
