[Intro: Jon Murdock]
Damn... f** happened?
The f** happened?
Life crazy sometimes, you know?
Gotta pick the pieces back up
Put 'em together in the right way
Yeah, Murdock
[Verse 1: Jon Murdock]
Spark that roach up, if you can't feel me then move closer
Life put this weight on my shoulders, almost gave hope up
Spent a lot of time searching for dough like the gold rush
Young, lusting for s**, it clearly destroyed both of us
I'm still holding up, but my mind's twisted
Lured in by money, liquor, and fine b**hes
Nightmares of cops friskin' and nines clickin'
Nik' Airs and fine women is my vision
Put that roach out, I'm at the end of my rope now
In a cold cell, I'm about to lose hope, how
Did I ever let it happen? We were so proud
I wish I really knew then what I know now
But I can't turn back the hands of time
It just keeps moving, I can't rewind
I gotta grasp, if I lose it, I could die
The air that I gasp has Lucifer inside
Pour me another shot, don't care if it's dumb or not
Give me the keys to the whip, sh**, f** them cops
I lost too many things in life that I loved a lot
So I'ma just keep moving 'till something stops
That was my thought then, that's not my feelings now
When I think about, sh**, I was really wild
Hands together, head up, fed up, kneelin' down
I pray to God, to let me start healin' now
[Hook: Jon Murdock]
If my life ends and you never see me again
Just remember that I thought things were easier then
Be aware, other people that seem are your friends
Because you'll bleed in the end, yeah, yo
If my life ends and you never see me again
Just remember that I thought things were easier then
Be aware, other people that seem are your friends
Because you'll bleed in the end, yeah, yo
[Verse 2: Lex Starwind]
Amazing grace in God form, rise to new heights
With this art form, mine to take flight like a condor
All on board to the next destination
Stop travelling the pathway to Hell, who gonna make it hot?
Who gon' take a shot? Who gon' let it pa** by?
Who gon' lead the ma**es? Who gon' follow, never ask why?
Shepherd for the sheep, down and out and on they last try
Swollen from the heat, we burning out in these bad times
In these dark skies, storm clouds blacken souls
On the highway to life where the traffic goes
But when you test the hearts of men, that's when the pa**ion flows
Bring out the best from the worst, gotta adapt and grow
Perpetual transition, the only constant has changed
There's certain things that you could not explain
To others, simply gotta learn it for yourself, it's not a game
Just that universal law and I abide by the same
f** your bloodstained hands, turmoil of the sole
When the flesh rise up and the body turns old
When the young turn to old and the old turn to dust
When you searching for a path, who to turn to but us?
Mistrust, misguided, gat bust, misfired
'Nother ghetto youth dyin', another ambulance siren
Standing there silent, dumb, deaf, and blinded
Desensitized to the violence
[Hook: Jon Murdock]
If my life ends and you never see me again
Just remember that I thought things were easier then
Be aware, other people that seem are your friends
Because you'll bleed in the end, yeah, yo
If my life ends and you never see me again
Just remember that I thought things were easier then
Be aware, other people that seem are your friends
Because you'll bleed in the end, yeah, yo
[Sample: Richard O'Brien]
Mr. Sleep suggests he may go to places familiar
His job is -
I don't care about our job
Indulge us, Mr. Hand
If you were Murdoch, yes?
If I were Murdoch, I would remember how my wife had hurt me by sleeping with another man
Then, I'd look for a way to hurt her in return
Leave me alone with her, there's work to be done
