I guess your story dont really matter unless you beat a ****** case. Unless you sell a lot of plates. Unless you gang banging your set With a gun and big chain. Fell into this life young but I’m im glad that I got out safe. Came sacrifices from my body But I still made it out that place. Others weren’t so lucky to live and see another day. Some spent their time in prison Came home and found another way. Some do the same **** Guess they learning the hard way. If he’s was smart he’d take his family And move far far away. Man I live for the vision But the time is just ticking. I give this **** my all and never planned on quitting. Seen ****** blow up with one song And I ain’t ego trippin. It’s just been ten years of grinding On this one big mission. All the days through depression Staring gaze at a weapon. Spin the chamber put to my head if it bang it’s a blessing. Some say it’s weak I say easy it’s if you tired of living. Hard to fight back when your body has been wired to give in. Needed god to pick me up But I just kept on slipping. Some just keep on smoking. Some just keep on drinking. I just keep on thinking When will I be winning.

Keep On Thinking.
It’s crazy cause the devil wears a golden Jesus piece All you got was a cell block When you gave your life to the streets Times non refundable Dining in a ****** zoo Never hit the next level Cuz you always living comfortable Throw a little bread and watch all the birdies Come to you Kick a lil knowledge and watch all the fools run from you Surrounded with a essence of greatness Filled with lessons and patience Step out of line of that familiar cadence I see the true ugly siting beneath your soul Like you got the EZ pass it’s gonna take it’s tolls Sit back and sip it’s glass while you break and fold My words alone could take a pen and paper and make it gold You know I seen it a million times With mischievous eyes When gods cry the rain bleeds through the sky I manifest and pain leaks through to guide Pushed over the edge And you build the instinct to survive

Devil wears a Jesus piece
When does it get better? Where do you find it? How do I become content with what I have? I feel like i have been chasing it for so long , but I’m so far. Physically I can make the run , mentally I’m already done. I have never understood what’s the gift. It’s more like a curse , it’s more like a long stretch of pain. It’s the questions that I don’t have yet that scare me the most. I yearn for the answers but I’m not sure I can be trusted with it’s responsibility. Where did I go wrong? This is the life where hope fails you.

Where hope fails you.
Stiff with pain a vague sense of vindication Made with bones that break And a unseeing soul to lose. The search for a solution continues Simultaneously as the existence of fear. Born pure , poisoned slowly as we lose our youth, dying moderately until the inevitable. We slave for materials that bond us without chains blind us without losing sight and bland our taste for real pride , replacing it with deceiving Pleasures of vanity. Are we ever freed from this constricting aura The blissful arrogance. To the peak with no safety net to fall on encourages the pursuit Enhances the will. Everyday the sun rises But every night brings recurring darkness
