Take me to the corners
yes with my enemies
roaches and centipedes
where you see things, you don't believe
knowing that this ain't my way, but I say
I've been used to guilt and frail hearts
stop then it restarts
flagging from your front porch
certain colors might cross
blessed to see another day, well I pray
that my momma don't see me here
young and without a fear
my pops side they hustle here
hoping I don't commandeer
but this the life, they tried to sustain
yes but it's engrained, it runs through my veins
they working like two jobs
trying to beat all odds, facing ya demons
trying to stay upright
from laying on the cement
These the cards that we play
thinking this is what I became
getting deep in the game
on the floor, steady shooting from range
but maybe I'm just looking for change
I hear the music, shit it's calling my name
but here I am steady resisting
always back and forth with this friction
This friction, my addiction
drug, gangs, syringes
might see a prison, I'm all in for the cause
cuz I feel like I got to be
the first pick in the lottery
the pressure it bothered me
it swallowed me
trying to find my way out of drowning
it's so astounding, I found that
out of all these odds
can't justify the cause
from writing, or behind bars
These the cards that we play
thinking this is what I became
getting deep in the game
on the floor, steady shooting from range
but maybe I'm just looking for change
I hear the music, shit it's calling my name
but here I am steady resisting
always back and forth with this friction
O this friction
has my vision
more cloudy than ever
it got me wishing
I'm different
did I mention
for wanting for more
than what I'm given
but I know I'm steady on way
fighting demons everyday
knowing that I will astray
steady trying to change my ways
let me vent escape the rage
go ahead
and turn the page
even though if it's not today
These the cards that we play
thinking this is what I became
getting deep in the game
on the floor, steady shooting from range
but maybe I'm just looking for change
I hear the music, shit it's calling my name
but here I am steady resisting
always back and forth with this friction
These the cards that we play
thinking this is what I became
getting deep in the game
on the floor, steady shooting from range
but maybe I'm just looking for change
I hear the music, shit it's calling my name
but here I am steady resisting
always back and forth with this friction
