The Great Divide Testo

[SCRATCHING] From the wrong side of the track [LOUIS LOGIC, VERSE 1] I'm lookin at a chance to change my stars today Across the platform but that sure seems far away You're on the brooklyn bound side, lookin' down I live in Queens, and in between a car just came So I could like, give you a sign with my mind, or give a cough That's corny, but I don't want to find our signals crossed Or leave it up to chance you just get aboard the next train and jet And give me more next day regret So lets take a step to let this be the day we met Incase destiny and fate forget I got a heavenly engagement set And I've been tryin to be an angel but Ive yet to meet my angelette I'd make a bet with myself, tell 'em to seize the day Maybe pressure would help, theres seldom an easy way If ever I felt that I would need to pray Its safe for me to say it'd be today So now its like [LOUIS LOGIC, CHORUS (SUNG)] I just can't shake the feeling that theres something about you And I don't want to leave here without you in my life It just doesn't seem right No matter how hopelessly I wish that you would notice me, you don't Some guys make this look so easy But thats just not me [CHORUS (RAPPED)] I would've loved to try to cross the tracks if I had courage And fortune would've brought me back [LOUIS LOGIC, VERSE 2] Now is there something I'm supposed to do That would bring me close to you and end my single loner blues Cause you could think my messy hair and vintage clothes are cute Or when you stare back, you could think I'm homeless too I'm so confused about which road to choose Take the stairway over to your side, I shout an ode to you From afar, I probably sound like any dude in a bar And if I transfered I'd create a chance for you to depart Is it usually hard to do what your hearts tellin' you? I would've moved from the start if I knew what the smart fellas do This ain't the brand of love Hallmark cards sell to you; Seldom true, whimsy for the not-so-well-to-do So help me through all the the self doubt, and cowardice Walkin' in lead welded shoes- held down and powerless To tell the truth I don't know how I'll come out of this But if I don't take myself to you, you're gone, and thats how it is [LOUIS LOGIC, CHORUS (SUNG)] I just can't shake the feeling that theres something about you And I don't want to leave here without you in my life It just doesn't seem right No matter how hopelessly I wish that you would notice me, you don't Some guys make this look so easy But thats just not me [CHORUS (RAPPED)] I would've loved to try to cross the tracks if I had courage And fortune would've brought me back [LOUIS LOGIC, VERSE 3] With all these gaps that seperate us, will we meet Or will this be another +Beat Street+, and I'm ? ? ? I can't let the anguish over a trek this dangerous Or whether fate is with me tonight, decide were left as strangers Who would accept the shamless coward who never tried Starin at a better life on legs and just let it slide Am I just petrified she wont say yes? If I measured my reluctance would my hope weigh less? Whether I miss my shift, miss my train, or whether or not It's the same, I still sit in vain, left at the dock Whatever the cops do, if they catch me or not I'll measure the cost in knowing that I let her slip off So its ready or not, now or never, across +The Great Divide+ I lept to the bottom and made for my ladies side Well if this is to be the day I died And judgement visits me, I can truely say I tried [LOUIS LOGIC, CHORUS (SUNG)] I just can't shake the feeling that theres something about you And I don't want to leave here without you in my life It just doesn't seem right No matter how hopelessly I wish that you would notice me, you don't Some guys make this look so easy But thats just not me [CHORUS (RAPPED)] I would've loved to try to cross the tracks if I had courage And fortune would've brought me back
