lyrics

Watching this recording of a life built on hoarding
guilt from the strife its the cost of rent and boarding
spent mourning the lifestyle I wanted
haunted from lies, despite the truth I flaunted
its right, the light moves in a circle
bright, went to know hes indigo, not purple
cripple, sipping gin in an alleyway
uncertain spin gripping him like the valley days
slipping, it pays to invest
in dividends giving him the tools to impress
while other fools just distress, bout their lives
sit up in their house and they cry as they die
slowly, from the insides of their minds
wholly hopeless, they need the holy vine
…back to when time dissolved
fact, there wasn't even any life to evolve
the world would revolve around you and me
it turned toward the good that we all should see
but some shut their eyes
they feared what was near and they knew not the prize
so they turned toward the lies that disguised what they saw
and they turned out the lights and they shut out the awe
you can't shut out the sun
it'll burn through eternity till the lights won
light and dark are the same space
they came from a place deep inside your brain case
trained to chaise a carrot while you parrot opinions
you think that you're free but your mind is their minion
dominion, grind cinnamon and synonym
wait till he's dead bag him up and bring him in
thats the end of the story
just another tory for this fucked up allegory

Chip off the block the ol dock starts to crumble
most other rappers just cocks when they mumble
and he's humble, stumble towards the centerfold
grinch in a pinch leave you left out in the winter cold
biting chill, just a thrill seeker
pill in his grill cause we know that you're weaker
ill, the sickness of society
the thickness of the whiteness made him flee from sobriety
denying me the chi that I need for my energy,
roll with the punches till it crunches into symmetry
don't try and limit me, beyond comprehension
and I don't answer questions that smack of condescension
you're a hack go back to where you came from
way off track and your stacks sounding lame son
game spun from the we've of the maker
save on left for the their and the faker
breaker, the fuse couldn't take it
left you confused and abused, thought you'd make it
its a ruse and you loose every time
false hope slopes are the snopes of the crime
spare a lime to repair whats been broken
silent affair and you're left with a token
still smoking, begging for forgiveness
hoping that you're open for another chance to hit this
spit whittless and grit through the drama
never ever sever the teather to my mamma
obama got osama but ghanna stayed the same
now who's left with blue meth to take the blame
damn shame, really liked the kid
sometimes with some rhymes he really blows his lid
thats the id, free from its master
cid on a chain or you'll end up in disaster
