(Feel like I'm dying...)
I sit alone in this four-cornered room
Houses are graves for the living
Let this dope spot be my tomb
You can have my soul
I don't need it where I'm going
You can't look me in my face
When my scars are showing
I can't sweat through these scars
I can't feel the wind blow
You never get used to not feeling
You just know you're not like them
So I feel like everything I died for has died for me
And I'm left here alone lost walking in the streets
Where I've seen where men deteriorate
And then do the same
Before I knew it I had changed
And I ain't going back there again
Things are moving so fast
For what it's worth I apologize
I've spilled blood on God's earth
Father please forgive me, I was born in a city
Where if you wanna be somebody you gotta k** somebody
(And claim the body)
Father please forgive me, I was born in a city
Where if you wanna be somebody you gotta k** somebody
(And claim the body)
(Feel like I'm dying)
(Feel like I'm dying)
Artistic bravery
They say to get it you gotta risk it
I risk my life everyday
Why wouldn't I risk this petty sh**?
Huh?
Don't make me take aim again
I miss my dead friends
But I don't miss men
So when my gun raises up
Remember Momma couldn't raise me
So you'll be a dead f**
And pardon it
The man with the skin with all the scars in it
My soul, my city's hardened it
My heart, I don't know where it went!
All I know is there's a war in my head
My eyes don't close when I lay in my bed!
Wish I could give my sister all the strength I posses
And let the h**n k** me instead
You see my grandmother was murdered
My mother used a gun
This k**ing is in my blood, it's best I don't make a son
I'm in the mirror trying to find my father in my face
So I can shoot myself right in that very place
I... feel... like... I'm... dying...
