lyrics

I speak from an era of errors and disappointment. Trying to stay ahead like a two faced coin flip
But it’s getting harder than ever just to be poignant
Cuz everybody wants to be a fast spitter but fast spitters don’t transmit an exact picture with facts stitched in the track sicker than crack dealers I’m that sick of my rap figures wishing I bigger stacks sick of these whack niggas making my stats bigger when I…
Really need the competitive edge. Just to get fresh like death on this 10 story ledge like yes
Jump head first into the whole mess. Gun shot point blank wherever my soul rest
Only a fool blames tools for the evil it’s done. Leaving the hand that put it forth more feeble and dumb
And even if it seems pointless the needle succumbs. And drops so hard you could speak it in tongues
And so we laugh a lot just to hide the blemishes
Of a life so scarred that confides in therapists
What kind of life is this movie righteousness?
How do you write to this, or should I fight to this?
Cuz I’m an immigrant… who’s first language is English the irony is my riddalin
3 people 1 room life living is killing it. Half empty glass full of guts and so I’m spilling it
10 years abroad but I’m third world born. Please stop asking, why I left New York!
Cuz it eats away at my soul and I can’t move on! Just let me be strong
The result is a hybrid that doesn’t quite fit into anywhere that his life did
Out of body experience choking him like a vice grip
Memories buried deep to fill the void. Destructive past make some noise


Pain love hate stress. Confusion addiction fear regret.
Self conscious mistakes lost neglect. Destruction distraction inactive reflect


Know those moments when hearts so frozen
Both start to melt when words are spoken
Silence broken hearts reopen
It all feels heavy he’s almost ready
Reminiscing his life but also regretting
Can’t change that now it’s all so empty
Can’t go back now he thought no entry
Stories of lost souls imprinted on city pavement
