[V1]
Heart is made of leather high as ever
Dirty money inside the dresser for pain of pleasure
My city builds you up with pressure
They always gonna try and knock you but they can't unless you let em now go and bless up
And keep a level head, keep a level mind
Cuz they loading up the lead chasing dollar signs
And they running from the feds trying to bide time
Man the crown is for the taking and i'm next in line
Yeah i'm bad boy cuz i'm next to shine
Y'all claim y'all making moves but your lacking a spine
b**h i'm here to dominate i'm just like Shaq in his prime
Went from talking bout madden to mac 11s and 9s
What the f** is going on i can't believe
Every day i see these little kids in the street
And i keep thinking damn that used to be me
I just hope they don't get to see the sh** i've seen
[Hook]
God watch over my brothers cuz the cities on fire
And I pray you don't take another cuz i'm going out of mind
Cuz everybody wanna bring me down bring me down
They wanna see me drown see me drown
And i need you now need you now and I need you now
[V2]
Everybody's gotta struggle everybody's gotta hustle
Everybody's got a time when they are faced with trouble
Bleeding knuckles when life hits you and makes you stumble
When it comes to this shot lets make it a double
Reminiscing bout when friends were friends and they didn't just say that they love you
I've had enough and after this song i'm raising the muzzle
I can feel it getting cold got me thinking bout all of the sh** nobody knows
Yeah it's winter time yeah its winter time
I wish i could explain whats on my mind
Not near it but i feel the finish line
Its got me feeling like I finished lines
Cuz they looking at me like i'm crazy
And they wonder why they don't see me no more
Cuz y'all ain't been around so i don't make a sound
My knees buckle and I fall tot he floor
They got me praying like
[Hook]
God watch over my brothers cuz the cities on fire
(Words full of wisdom and strengthen them too)
And I pray you don't take another cuz i'm going out of mind
(These lyrics guide me provide me with who I am)
Cuz everybody wanna bring me down bring me down
They wanna see me drown see me drown
And i need you now need you now and I need you now
[Instrumental Break]
[V3]
(Make these hits and I call them magic)
Pictures so vivid, even if i wanted to I can't erase the image i seen too much
I wish heaven had a limit cuz were filling it up
That's why when it comes to these cups i'm filling em up
And when Chuck pa**ed that's all I thought about in cla** then I went out to the lobby and cried and then Az
And DNTE told me it was gonna be alright
Then the night after the viewing went another life
Then the next weekend I seen my aunt in the casket
The pain I couldn't mask it
I tried to keep it together cuz i know they was looking up to me to be the man and
I couldn't do it I I couldn't do
And we just lost Joey and it still feels like a dream I feel like i'm gone wake up and ima hear him sing
God that boy had a beautiful voice I never thought I would hear such beautiful noise
So many questions but no answers
Three month before my aunt lost my uncle to cancer
I keep thinking why would God have to take their life
I wonder why Erin and Joe had to take that bike
Now you see whats on the stage when they hit them lights
Now you know whats on my mind everyday of my life
Gotta remind myself there's sunshine after the light
Gotta remind myself there's sunshine after tonight
So i'm looking at the light
All of the souls lost there
Lost tears in my room how am I lost here ?
With one revelation i've lost prayer
Cuz there ain't really a difference between a cross and cross hairs
Just thinking like its not fair
Somethings missing
Something changed its different
So these Pages i'm flipping
While the stainless i'm gripping
Thinking bout giving up
Thinking bout what i'm missing
I swear these people plotting
I swear this demons got me
I swear I seen the devil
But god is in my Body
Breastplate Teflon
Helmet of salvation
Clad with zeal
The valley of d**h is our nation
I walk through it trying not to forget
Looking at how far I've came and how much is left
Some people walking in blind
Some have ordered their steps
