[Intro: DDay]
Got a text saying, “Someone called the cops”
Right then and there I felt my heart stop
Cold sweats running all down my spine
Am I really 'bout to be doing time?
[Verse 1: DDay]
Knocks on my door, my a** is gra**
Cement floors, got the stash in the trash
“Hello officer. Hey, hi, how ya doing?
I was just on my way, my garbage is smelling putrid, but
You are welcome to stay and have a look around
It's me and my two friends, man, we just hanging out”
Frozen in conversation I stared at his retinas
As they scanned up and down my bag, man, let me tell ya
A nod in my direction got me steppin', it's a standoff
No looking back, “You can have it,” like a handoff
But I kept going, and I kept quiet
Trash bag on my back, this sh**, I don't like it
This is it, this is life, this is war
This is what it feels like on rock bottom floor
As three policemen walked out that door
Knees shaking, I can't take any more
Free to go, like a dream it's unbelievable
For real though, just two years and some weeks ago
My life flashed right before my eyes
And I'm supposed to tell you I'm a different guy?
[Hook: DDay]
But I act the same, still act insane
Same player, but I'm playing to a different game
And though I may walk through the valley where the Devils dance
I thank God for giving me a second chance
[Verse 2: Moses]
Backdrop: 12 o'clock, driving on a Friday Night
Meant to stay straight, don't know why that I took a right
Down South Main, brain dumb when I'm wicked drunk
Baker's dozen shots of Evan got my stomach numb
Bright blue and white lights flicking in my hindsight
Visions of me taking a trip to the clink a third time
Am I dreaming? Am I even alive?
The only thing I really see is every second of my life
Flashing in front of my eyes because of a DUI
And a rap sheet as long as the unemployment line
Alcohol in my blood, point three two one
Went from wearing cuff links to some handcuffs
Sleeping on a metal bed thinking my future is done
How I'll never get a job, how'd I let my brother down
How it's gonna be impossible to make my parents proud
Or I do the opposite and choose to turn my life around
Took three days until I could see the sunlight
Breathe fresh air for what feels like the first time
Seems like the whole world is a little different now
It's bright when you've been living under a dark cloud
[Hook: Moses]
