Avoiding devils in the dark wearing a mask And there’s void inside my heart I feeling broken Scattered pieces of my soul in city roaming Johnny Walker to the head I hope it get me going They fascinated by America overseas While they try a**a**inate my character, enemies I never mind em they blinded by jealousy How the hell I make it out of hell free A prisoner inside a cell block mentally Shell shocked physically If I fail I’m a liability I need some dough by the week I gotta hustle for my family to eat I feel the pressure building up inside drunk and high Somebody in my way and I’m pop em yo I swear to god Yesterday I lost another brother Looking up at the sky asking why we got to suffer There’s much so pain [Hook] Ohhhh… Tired of the strain and the pain Ohhhh… Tired of the strain and the pain
