C. B. Mac - Shed lyrics

Verse 1: Drowning in a pool of my mistakes and regrets Tryna get above water with all this weight on my chest Plus i got the past chained to my neck Stuck repaying a debt Until my soul is way to drained to collect I've been patient and yet I'm still battling every demon that's been chasing my steps It's frustrating 'till i'm shaking and set To put my fist through anything; I avoid fights 'cuz i'm afraid to get vexed Had a lot of issues that i came to accept I let'em fester 'tll my brain was a mess And point the blame at the rest Endless excusеs not to face the duress Until what i bеcame, at best Was a maze of neglect "i'll just take what i get" I used to hate on anybody with a grain of success To justify me not taking that trek Years of wasting my breath Now i'm still looking for a way to connect... Hook: I've hurt a lot of people that i claimed to respect Wish i could turn back time and change for the best Or make a break for the west But i'm no coward so i'm facing the stress Learned from my momma how to store the pain; She made me a vet Now i got a family i aim to protect And the queen of my dreams keeps my anger in check Rich with love, i'm not chasing a check I simply came to inject you with poetry and find some space to reflect... Verse 2: Floating in uncertainty; i wade in a net Waiting to get the go like the age of consent I'll leave a path like the pavement is wet And every statement i rec' Get head nods, they'll need a brace for their neck And i'm famous for niet Unless i'm pushing my limits until my grave is my bed The finish line is still way up ahead So i'm baking some bread Hip-hop's my true love, my haven and stead The higher the stakes; the braver the bet Find your peace or find a noose over your face and your neck Searching for freedom; found enslavement instead Walking aimless like the day of the dead What a way to elect I presume my day is the next So i'm filling up on dough like i ate a baguette Is there any chance that i just might escape with respect? 'cuz apologies are great; i just hope that they can accept... Hook: I've hurt a lot of people that i claimed to respect Wish i could turn back time and change for the best Or make a break for the west But i'm no coward so i'm facing the stress Learned from my momma how to store the pain; She made me a vet Now i got a family i aim to protect And the queen of my dreams keeps my anger in check Rich with love, i'm not chasing a check I simply came to inject you with poetry and find some space to reflect...
