[Verse]
My homie just died from cancer, I ain’t been the same since
Taught me to stop worrying about life and live this shit ’til the day ends
No matter where you go you got the same sins and the same regrets on the same ship
We may be living these different stories but write with the same pen
Bleed the same ink, on the same script, love the same bitch but feel the hatred
In the end it’s painless, so I’mma knot my laces and attempt to run the races while dodgin’ some cases
But, in the end the apartment vacant and I can’t even make these payments
And I really don’t know how to say this, I got talent but I’ll waste it
In the basement before I get rich and famous, and become complacent
Over these bitches wearin’ the fragrance and all this champagne up here by the Aces, uhh
I can feel the changes but trying to get on stages gonna leave me on the pavement
Bakin’ for ages, a picture that cannot be painted ‘cause every time you try you get tainted
And I’m trying to get out of Lakeland before I get caught by the gauges, that’s my motivation
And telling’ my mama she ain’t gotta work for minimum wages bouncin’ around the corporations
But to be honest we in a generation where you can’t get by on welfare, you can’t solve shit with a prayer
So beware for the ones who don’t care when you sheddin’ them tears
Take a stand and walk through the fire to capture your deepest desires
But when you reach the end of the wire don’t be shocked if someone has a lighter
Watch your step cause you might fall off the ledge trying to go higher
And every friend is a threat, gotta be dead to see the liars
Three sides to every survivor, good, bad, and the proof
Three sides to every story, yours, theirs, and the truth
And if I lose at I had your attention for a second or two
Not to mention I broke rules and spoke my views in this booth
Tension rising, life giving me lemons but I keep making juice
Sun setting on the horizon but I can see all of the hues
They trying to kill off the youth, I’m trying to get off the news
They give you a truce then come back with a deuce, should just crawl in the noose, I’m sorry that this is the truth
Cause there’s a lot of people frontin' but even the devil was once an angel
Only time I hear ‘bout my homies is if it’s fatal, they told me be faithful and pray more but now he disabled
Don’t trust nobody, even Cain killed Abel, we slaves to the ‘caine that’s why we slang more
All we wanna do is take the chains off, you got three whips in the garage that you paid for
Distasteful and painful, they all be running the table just to take your home
How you expect us to be grateful when we in Hell and didn’t give us a chance to grow old?
Lean on me during your battles even when life gets tough to handle
If I ain’t tell you that I love you just remember that I don’t have to
