[DICE]
I'm in that "I don't give a damn about it" mode, say goodbye
to my struggles let em fade while blowing smoke up at the sky

and I tried to be the better man, I really went and tried
but how can I be much better when the problem is in my reflection
I'm guessing that my rage is my protection

for the safety of my mind and all the drama that effects it
these problems are infectious, don't let it be your dope
and get addicted to the drama or inflicted by the smoke

I was only just a youngen, didn't know that I'd be grown
living fatherless, without him, kinda feels like I'm alone
but I gotta be somebody, not this shadow that I've known

ever since the day I've lost him, let me put you in the zone
all I had was pride and music, to this day that's all I got
to the day I go and make it or the coffin where I rot

and I hope it doesn't kill me cause I stress it every second
it's my medicine, infection, and my love that never lessens
it's the zone



[Chorus]

I've been down this road so long
that I'm starting to believe I'm home
this music that I make everyday

gives me hope and it feeds my soul
cause I've been through the struggle and the pain
so I write just to free my soul

and not a damn thing comes between
me and mine when I'm in my zone



[DICE]
I'm in that "now I kinda give a damn about it" .. I got

a thousand problems on my mind, I grab the pen and start to jot
every struggle, every memory, and tears are gonna leak
so if you have the time, spare me just a minute while I speak

you can keep your apple phone, a million dollars gone tomorrow
on a fancy car, I'd give it all away to see my father
but I guess it's for a reason that we lose the ones we're needing

if I didn't than I guess I wouldn't fight to be succeeding for this music
without a loss I never would've started
just a skinny young caucasian kid, I never would've bothered

but I did, and I'm here, and I'm never gonna fade
you can spend your life to hate, but I'ma take it to the grave
cause your mother, father, brother, sister, uncle, and your cousin

can all hate it, hope I fail, but man I'm gonna keep on running
to that goal, and I know that I'm really gonna make it
If I wasn't, than the planet wouldn't spend their time to hate

I'm in the zone



[Chorus]
I've been down this road so long
that I'm starting to believe I'm home

this music that I make everyday
gives me hope and it feeds my soul
cause I've been through the struggle and the pain

so I write just to free my soul
and not a damn thing comes between
me and mine when I'm in my zone



[Jeid]

Give me a second, give me some time
I been in this wreckage for less than I've been alive
but it feels like I've been stuck inside this, rut

for as long as I've been.. walking, talking, and climbing, but
I don't want my time to be up, I don't wanna lose shine in this rough
I'm a diamond trying to stay vibrant but I'm stuck

in this rough and I'm roughed up
waiting for the day that I luck up
$#&@ that I don't got time, rather work till I got mine

take a shot in the dark, but I'm not blind
night vision
I see everything your sight misses, I hear more than y'all might listen

open your mind and your soul might get this
open them eyes and your whole life's different
that's what I learned through these trials and tribulations I'm facing
that's why I know to dream big and never become complacent
that's why I'm so impatient, because I see the bigger

picture, I'm not a quitter, I'm chasing these dollar figures
I rather be over worked than under accomplished and bitter
I just want to finally be a winner so I'm always in the.. zone
