I wake up everyday wondering
Will it be nice
Will my head start thundering
Will it be a good day
will I wish to go back and get away
I try my hardest to live quiet and cool
Simple…
Happiness that doesn't need a tool
Keep the drugs
I'm set on finding more hugs
Lookin for the repellant
To get rid of all these green bugs
Haunted and blessed
Troubled with a bullet proof vest
Remember what is deep within my chest
Ain't no such thing as perfect
Flaws in every educated guess
Everyone striving to stay off their back
What's the point
Living for false hope
money doesn't tell you jack
No sense in hustlin in a world addicted to crack
A place set ablaze
By a government hack
We know but we don't
Empty sack
You can't question that in which you know the answer
so you sit and look for another pretty dancer
Forcefully blinded
I'm original but I'm not
Minds drowning in a sea of cancer
It sucks that that's my sign
I guess I'll face facts
I'm always dyin
Maybe I should just roll with it
Getting tired of this poetic cryin
Sick of this desire to live
But I can't stop tryin
Desire is my heart
Courage is those wings that keep me flying
I drink to forget
But instead I learned some new things regret
I always say I'm done
But this time I'm willing to bet
Can't live anymore with this mental debt
Born at a loss
Land of the free
Such freedom that always has a boss
I hope to live to see the walls crumble
A day when true justice decides to mosh
Head up
Chest out
Don't listen to misery shout
When that bitch comes looking
Rip her eyes out
