Black Clouds

feat. Complexions 

[Intro: N.O.R.E.]
Yeah, yeah 
Niggas always askin questions, man
Like why y'all niggas so wild, man?
Go everywhere, shoot-outs, fights
Things going on, man
We ain't doin nothin, just want some paper man
I just can't stand the trouble, man
It's like Black Clouds following us
It's time for you niggas to get to know Nore, get to know Nore

[N.O.R.E.]
Aiyyo, niggas wanna know yo what's wrong with the God?
Cause every other day it's on with the the God
Every week, a different beef, yeah
And my niggas cop guns in their bottom Jeeps
Shoot-outs in front of hand here, let's be clear
And we done sent niggas through intensive care
You see guns it's no problem, beef it's no problem
Niggas start shit that's weak, that's a problem
I stay quiet and don't talk to the Press
Fuck a court room, I'm good on the streets with a Tech
Niggas do slide, he got 15 years
Mic booth, just run up, shit got me bent up
It's time to celebrate but wait - my niggas ain't here
My father ain't here, Pun ain't here
It don't seem life is treatin me fair
I drink Henny, that's stronger then that Belvedere

[Chorus: N.O.R.E.] (Complexions harmonizing in background)
Black Clouds over my head, follow my lead
Waking up in the morining, bearin weed
Why the fuck it seem like, it so hard to breathe?
Why the hood seem like, it so hard to leave?
We been waitin on this money, for quite so long
And my niggas on the run now, way too long
Black Clouds go away, for the rest of the day
Black Clouds it's all away, don't fuck up the day

[N.O.R.E.]
I make good music, and that's the reason I sold
2 albums, Platinum albums, and shit went Gold
I can't stretch this, cause God I'm on the guest list
I'm feeling like Xzibit, straight "Restless"
When it's my turn to blow, I own the cable
I sold 8 hundred thou, on a penalty label
And man, shit deep, I ain't reach my peak
It's my fifth album, ain't none of it weak
I admit, "Melvin Flynt", my soul wasn't there
Recorded in the studio, mind wasn't clear
I had to back up, blunts and stunts
No quotables, still ain't get "Rhyme of the Month"
Black Clouds follow me, like wherever I go
Even when I ain't streesed and I'm ready to flow
I just let go, just let me know
It's gon be a better day, my seeds and see though

[Chorus]

[Bridge 2x: Complexions]
Black Clouds, go away
You been on slide back like everyday
Every time I turnaround you bringing drama my way
I don't know how I deal with the beef today
Black Clouds, it seems like your always with me
Can't get no paper unless your there with me
Can't go nowhere unless your there with me
I don't even care who else is here with me

[Chorus]
