lyrics

It was 4 summers back
I'm rollin’ in the Cutlass, in the cuts
Copped the kill from sleep an chopped my first half
I'm all in, as summer turn to fall
My hustle fine-tuned, yeah I got you on the low
An 3 winters back, I was slippin’ on the road
Crossed 2 states, in my olds, getting’ deeper in the snow
Dirty 8 with no prints, my life support sense
I was tryin’ to play the knight, with young visions of a prince
At the time, mind on the grind
Money on my mind, mind out my body
It's like I'm watching myself
Baggin’ up, this hustle at the club is adding up
The same crew from way back, imagine us…
Barkin’ at the sky, smashin’ I-5
Let you know we hold the heaters
For the haters actin up
And flash on site, so my cash gets right
Watch my back for them flashin’ lights
And keep my mask on tight
It seems my worst enemy's inside the mirror
It seems I'm tryin’ to escape my fears, with chrome in my grasp
But the omens attached, now they sown my past
And I'm tryin’ to shake the demons, hope the moment 'll last

I'm tryin’ hard to maintain in this world of mine
An find my self, in this world of crime
I'm feelin’ like the world is mine
Thizzed out freestylin’ wit my homies
Movin’ weight to Montana, got me feelin’ like I'm Tony
I roam lonely streets, illuminated by the lights of the city
Every day’s a gamble, I'm throwing dice in the city
Hustle hard, hold it down for my part of the city
And shed blood to the gutters to the heart of the city
I'm getting’ yakked bumpin’ 10 crack commandments
But can't I learn the lesson, until my skin branded
Stuck in-between these vices
Man it's feelin’ like a crisis, to try to figure what this life is…
As the nights is.... Twisted into day, sniffin’ yey
Life's a trick and then you die, I'm listenin’ to Jay
An tryin’ to find my way
Through extremes of the pendulum swings
Testin’ my sane, I'm askin’ who be pullin’ these strings
Paranoia creepin’ deep in in my veins
Ghosts of a haunted brain got me sleepin’ in vein
In my dreams, see my twin brother waking from sleep
And keeps growing, I gotta kill the clone
Before he's mistaken for me

As spring turn to summer
Even though it don't rain no more
The truth is, I can't seem to mask the pain no more
Cuz I ain't tryin’ to play this game no more
An maintain wit cane in my brain
I ain't tryin’ to prey no more
To reach a vision, livin’ for the day that I'm free
From this prison, maintained by the way that I see
Through these eyes, the wise would never live like this
Recognize I never wanna see my kids like this
I'll never let ‘em feel lost like this
I got so much to give,
But how am I fittin’ to pay a cost like this?
Livin’ wit this loaded karma and profit from cane
Gotta reconcile wit my twin brother who got a lot of game
But as the world turn, it seems to get him played
When this fast life turn to slow death, it's gettin’ grave
Now I wonder where this hustle leads
Got me searching for that puzzle piece
That's revealed from Gods
As I start my journey, beneath the stars
I feel my cause
And walk this path to heal my scars
Imma get my head right, from the lessons I’ve been given
Imma shed light, cuz it's a blessin’ I am livin’

Then I heard the voice of wisdom speaking
He said you made it through the struggle for a reason
It's time to get your mind on track
Cuz this the life you was given, now find your path
Cuz season after season
We make it through the
Struggle cuz we live it for a reason
It's time to get your mind on track
Cuz this the life I given gotta find that path
