[VERSE 1: CRAW]
Started in March of '13, doctor hit me with the scalpel
Had to fix my back issues, asked if I'd get back to rap soon – he said it's doubtful
Here I am a year later, living proof the heart is stronger than the data
My little brother got arrested for possession last week
My other brother pa**ed his DUI cla**es – that's G
My little sister really wanna slit my wrists cause I told her boyfriend to go jump off a cliff
I guess its sticks and stones ‘till the day we hit the casket
My grandfather fighting for his life – sh**'s tragic
Fact is he a 95 year old soldier, his whole life he had to hustle
But I'm afraid when he goes a part of me will too, and that's my struggle
My grandmother got a couple demons in her closet
But f** man who doesn't, life is a game of options
I'm just trying to make the right choices, but its hard dude
When part two make you feel like you hit in the heart with a harpoon
My lady had it hard too, straight taking care of me
Her mother really think I need to seek therapy
Honestly, a portion of us was dust after the abortion
Of course that's going to cause some tension, and force some altercation
But we been doing great now since the operation
So much patience to deal with me, know it can be stunting
Then Johnny took his life, I didn't see that coming
My mother had her cancer scare, when I had the answers
And Shizzy had his accident, ain't my story to share
Don't mean to be corny I swear, there's some great sh**
Yeah, I learned a lot about patience
Swooped up my lady and got us a place – sh**
Been fighting temptation, kept clean 3 years
I swear to god, could not have done it without my peers
Rocked my best shows in years
I got some props that damn near gave me tears
Confident as ever, a monster and I'm clever
Put it all together, you see I go the farthest when sh** get the hardest
Rely on this gift god gave me, that's why I'm an escape artist
That's why I'm an escape artist
