lyrics

(Verse 1)

I been building up these prison walls
in my mind, stuck in solitary
old homies turn to adversaries

now I’m dolo, hustlin this yola
tryin to get this paper right, weight up off my shoulder

this world is getting colder, these years I’m gettin older
you look into my eyes, see no fear keep composure

this pain I hold inside is like tears of a soldier
keeping on this mask like the last of October

aint tryin to feel nothin, I’m going through the motions
if early death is my fate and it’s already been chosen

why waste time? heater on the waist line
moves across state lines, you heard through the grape vine

I’ve fallin by the way side….
stuck in between these angels and demons want me to take sides

I walk the city blocks and cats are lookin wild
with illuminati eyes and crocodile smiles

evil in disguise, in this world’s full of lies
now I look into the mirror and don’t even recognize

(Chorus)

who am I
who am I?
(repeated)
tell me what you see, lookin through my eyes

(Verse 2)

it seems like these ill thoughts up in my mind will never cease
am I livin in the Matrix? will I make it out this dream?

just breathe... breathe is what the buddha say
if I was born inside a prison would I choose to stay?….

and try to play my role, keep losin sanity
in this game all about the vanity, dealin with the fantasy

and drama in this world of lies, the world is mine
with these dreams of my own demise...

all eyes on me...
must be bumpin too much Pac
cuz now I got early death plots, of my own design

while dealin wit these demons, they always say the coldest things
trying snuff out my hopes and dreams

I'm trying to oversee and fly over seas,
cuz people 'round me say I won’t achieve
nothin' but a broken dream

f*** em, this hunger in my soul got that fire
these devils saying, we can give you all that you desire

mean while, God asking, what you got to give?….
what you willin to sacrifice, so that you can live?….

(Chorus)
