Verse 1
when im stuck lookin in the mirror
caught cryin tears from all my fears

not a one of you understands
i got no future without my plans
fall to my knees like God will save me

but i strictly disobey thee
camoflauged by selfless acts
when i lay my words to these tracks

just talkin bout my life and all the things i hate
when i return to reality im really feelin great
my flow like an illness but im sicker than cancer

used to be the one with a red nose now i simply got the answer
now come to me when you need a helpin hand
get off cloud nine ckuz ill catch you when ya land

you dont need to live life smokin away dreams
used to think it was cool but, made me do stupid things
who wants to grow up not knowin where they belong?

thats what youll get with tokin joints and hittin the bongs
so why dont you join me get off the road to failure
success is a better option set sails and sail there

Verse 2
go ahead and try to come at me with a crooked look
i wont try to fight back ckuz in the end youll get shook

im not sayin im the greatest and that ill never reach defeat
simply statin a fact that im posted solid like concrete
i stand for the ones who came up from nothin

turned ther lives around now they out there doin somethin
its sad when they $$#ume that a man with tattoo's
cant work a 9 to 5 they let him go and they lose

its the world that we live in full of war and violence
no more silent city streets everyday we hear sirens
another life lost with a family torn apart

the one and only reason for my mangled broken heart
trynna find all the pieces of the life i once had
when i had no worries, no fears, and i was glad

happy with who i was never thought id be me
always gettin caught up drinkin liquor like its tea


Hook

Verse 3

ya always ask me what inspires my music
my life, past and present is all it takes so i use it
just grab my pen and paper find a beat and write a verse

then i back track edit my lyrics and rehearse
its a complicated process and at times it brings pain
but id walk a thousand miles just to see it again

Locked up in my own mind my feelings my eyes cant hide
the darkness of the night is where my body and soul reside
theres no escaping the cell that youre currently locked in

its like a nightmare thats constantly hauntin
i think im dead the type thats still walkin
whos got the answers aint nobody talkin

they just wait for a mistake hopin that we'll break
but in the end of time its just a little too late
live with no regrets but dont make bad choices

just follow your heart and ignore the evil voices
