Being A Man is harder than it looks..
I have no time to talk to any kids today,

Loving myself is difficult than it needs to be..
but I'm not so perfect anyway,

About a week ago I had so much on my mind..
but was happy I was alive,

Love could try to make me happy,
When I'm simply depressed,
Can you replace,
The turmoil and end the rest,
I just wanna run away,

Like a soldier I survived the obstacles,
On the battlefield,
With the cannibals,
Ready to eat away the pride,
Just stay out of my face,

Being A Man is harder than it looks..
I have no time to talk to any kids today,

Loving myself is difficult than it needs to be..
but I'm not so perfect anyway,

About a week ago I had so much on my mind..
but was happy I was alive,

Separation from boys to men are in ties..




but I'll never take away my life.

Every time I get closer
to my goal
I feel myself slipping further
into a hole,
I just want to be a success
But my bad side won't give it a rest.

You chewed me up and spit me out
Like the piece of gum you chew
After a cigarette.

She doesn't even know
You started smoking
Again.

Hey, do you wanna smoke some dank ****?
Dope, let's get hella blazed then go to Taco Bell.  

PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:

You don't need it despite what you say.
It needs you to feed it, or else it leaves you defeated.

Why do you think you get hungry afterwards?
Can you honestly say you don't want to save money?
Yeah, me too.
Right now the high is all I want.
Specifically to meet a basic human need, like going to sleep or eating.
Why? Is it addiction or habit? Maybe it's both.

A vicious cycle I was stuck in,
now with people all around me doing the exact same thing.
Insanity.

Our human tendency is to seek comfort in what we know;
rather than forming new habits.
Don't get it twisted, I'm not saying **** hasn't helped people.
The irony is once they have your IDentity you'll always want more.

The fact is legal means quick easy access, all you need is your ID.
There's many natural ways to be High, just take a walk outside.
It's called the Devil's Lettuce for a reason.

Now say it with me,
I am in control now, you don't have control over me anymore.

I say I attract toxic,
Deep down I think
I crave it.
