Arthur McArthur - Mental Exorcism lyrics

[Verse 1] Dope sold on the cut make our hands bleed f** broke it ain't an option, penitentiary Or the grave is the only way we fall back Do our time A.T.W then crawl back To them streets where we come from taught life Look alive know n***as better walk right Real with it quick trigger finger gun play I only know how to deal with these n***as one way And someday I swear to God I'mma change that But I can't cause them evil demons came back And when I'm high y'all I can't explain What it feels like wishing I could die and just end the pain Cause mane I've been a loyal dude and you can trust that But loyalty versus greed equals f** that I need to talk but there ain't no one to listen Lost inside a mental exorcism And wishing [Hook] Sometimes I close my eyes trying to hide from the pain Things in my past are catching up fast living life against the grain Just one time I wanna clear my mind the silence seems so loud If I could I would fly away and live my life beyond the grey cloud [Verse 2] I woke up from a dream feeling all good Prayed for better days ahead but what was yall doing Lost, stuck in a stand still waiting for a hand out Hustling for tennis shoe paper never panned out My sister tripping got my grandmother stressing Cause shes only 17 and shes already pregnant Another segment of them ghetto soap operas Bg's is tripping ain't nothing left to stop them Uncle in jail daddy dead and their mamma's Can't teach them how to be men; grow up being followers The streets swallow them then life overpower them Then off to the pen where the old heads devour them Crash tested a dummy high volume Only God can judge but y'all n***as is comical 90 percent of our future's off in prison Prescription for my mental exorcism And listen [Hook] Sometimes I close my eyes trying to hide from the pain Things in my past are catching up fast living life against the grain Just one time I wanna clear my mind the silence seems so loud If I could I would fly away and live my life beyond the grey cloud [Verse 3] Another kid k**ed in cold blood a mothers heart broke Family crying on the first few my heart spoke Hurtful words I would never dare speak In the house of the lord still I'm in the devils reach I don't wanna hear the preacher preach that sh** a lie Plus he knowing how that evil be, but who am I To judge a man when I see him try FOX news tried to justify him And ain't no way that you can clarify In cold blood our lil homies dying Another sign of the times but it's terrifying That you could k** us off have us outlined in chalk Get arrested go to jail go to court and get the f** off That sh** is f**ed off we worried about the money lost While the clans about to light another cross I ain't denying it I speak from intuition It's also from my mental exorcism And wisdom [Hook] Sometimes I close my eyes trying to hide from the pain Things in my past are catching up fast living life against the grain Just one time I wanna clear my mind the silence seems so loud If I could I would fly away and live my life beyond the grey cloud
