J Dilla - Snake Pit lyrics

So much in this could've gone wrong But then I would've never known right So many of my favorite people are long gone Everyone dies, but I never knew they'd go like They all did. When I grow up, I'll be a tall kid Probably still be complaining about what's wrong with Myself. Dodging suicide by belt Time heals all when you buy the lies that time sells For someone who doesn't, I'm getting by well Thoughts set the parameters in which I define hell Tried to climb to a height where I could live right, but my foot slipped from the support, and I fell Down to a bottom, laid as it dismissed me Waiting for that Frisbee, to come back. It glides swell In a bed, my sedation level's risky cause Lately I been sick see, my blood is lacking white cells Tried everything a doctor told me might help Sent chemicals to where my insight dwells Yeah they last for a moment, but my ghastly opponent is a disease. I'm feeling like I might yell The people I trust don't tell me much Walking through this life like I got impaired knees but In my sleep, when I dream I can smell freedom In that world, boundaries are what I fell free from Don't believe there's an exit from my kingdom I don't believe in miracles because I've never seen one It's hard to put the effort into walking down the mountain, when there's a perfectly good cliff to leap from It seems some are unable to handle the truth Quickly transitioning from wearing sandals to boots No matter what I'm walking through, I'm not a philosopher just a man with thoughts that stands in a booth I'm demanding the truth where I trace my memory from Emerge from the shelter of it like a centipede does I never knew who my enemy was My thoughts taught me, that it lives inside the head of me cause I've never been one to listen to another person Gave up happiness so I could discover worth in The lower trenches of life. I know regrets'll ignite when doing wrong with no intention of right One way, continuing a lone descent to the light Struggle pays, even when no one mentions it might That's how I found this. And since then I've been astounded that no one told me my words were meant for a mic These words are meant for you Mike, your loss has still got me shaken Since you no longer can, I'm gonna strive for greatness Now I know where the snakes live Dumping gas in, and chucking matches in the snake pit
