🎧 "Proverbs of a MadMan" ™️ —(Version 2) INTRO Born broke but rich in sense, I learned from pain not praise, Every cut became a compass, every scar a phrase. The block taught math: add faith, subtract fear, Divide the lies, multiply what’s clear. I seen preachers sin and killers bless bread, So I follow the quiet — that’s where truth led. --- VERSE 1 Never argue with fools, they’ll drag you low, Make you swing at ghosts till you lose your glow. Listen twice, talk once, protect your code, Real recognize real without being told. Keep tears sacred — water them seeds, Don’t let pity plant no weeds. --- HOOK These the Proverbs of a MadMan, gospel on wax, Every parable etched between the snare cracks. What’s holy ain’t in churches, it’s in the facts, Where pain preaches sermons the choir lacks. I bleed ink; that’s how I pray, Street psalms whispered in the clay. --- VERSE 2 Forgive but never forget who showed their fangs, Loyalty fragile like cracked chains. Hunger breed vision, comfort kill dreams, Peace feel foreign when you used to extremes. They said stay humble — I learned to kneel then strike, A serpent’s patience sharper than a pike. --- HOOK Proverbs of a MadMan, carved in tone, Wisdom heavy as blocks of stone. Talk soft, but the beat sound grown, Every lesson tattooed in bone. If it glitter loud, it’s plated brass, What’s pure don’t need to flash. --- VERSE 3 Money talk loud but lies clear throat, Truth whisper low like a sinking boat. If you love, love deep, but guard your chest, Devils wear perfume and Sunday best. Never pray loud — temptation eavesdrop, The devil bless first to make you stop. --- BRIDGE Thunder mean balance, lightning mean change, Every storm rearrange the range. Grandma said: “Boy, joy cost pain,” So I dance barefoot in the rain. What break you build you, slow and exact, Even miracles need a contract. --- HOOK Proverbs of a MadMan, soul to the core, I wrote these rules on a cellblock floor. Heaven heard silence; earth heard roar, Faith still breathe when hope’s no more. Never sold my name, just pawned my fight, Redeemed it back under streetlight. --- OUTRO When sky turn blood and angels mute, I hum my truth like a dying flute. Life don’t owe—every breath’s on lease, So I die daily to awaken peace. MadMan scripture, final decree: Wisdom born from misery. --- (Original lyrics and composition by Terry Nichols.
