THEOPHILUS - Away lyrics

[The Experience Verse] I can see heavens gates from this hell Oh look theres my grandfather damn he looking swell Grandma says hello Im sorry but I really have to go No time for chit chat My friends be talking money and you know I gotta get that I know you said never to get involved But look at all this debt that just stacks on grandma's chest dad And she already stressed that You and her oldest had to go Now she's all alone, wait a drug addict at home Trying to provide for me and my sis on her own Looking like a mountain with those boulders on her shoulders And the nights already colder, cause the lights cut in October But she fights just like a soldier To keep the food up on the table and the clothes up on my back How she got us christmas presents when we never asked Gah Damn And it is evident that she is heaven sent Won't rest till her residence Is that just like the presidents and her pockets stuffed with Benjamin's And dad I know these times feel like Fort Knox And we locked in, Sometimes I wonder how the hell we even got in But no time to waste you know there is a time and place And right now it is 9 past 8 and I am late For cla**es, as you whips up all the tears off my gla**es And looks me in the eyes, tells me I'm the prize Tells me I'm the key, Thats gonna set us free Shut the car door find my desk in back of the cla** and then I fade away To a better place where we never face Bill collectors, hunger, or any type of poverty I swear to god this had got to be more than a (fantasy) Snap back to reality Look down at my desk, nothing but homework and a journal full of stress A journal full of stories, a journal full of rhymes That talks about those times, Where help was hard to find, and we struggled for those dimes Just to buy some food so we can feed our minds God we needa' sign God we need some hope Cause I just saw my grandma's grocery list and it said some rope No....No Grandma not again we've been through this it is not the end You have me and dad see Wait where dad be? As I look for him all I found was a grocery list and it said some dope No...No Not again Dad we've been through this d** are not your friend Its the devil in disguise but when I looked up in his eyes Nothing was alive, all I felt was drive To smoke whats in his pipe, To fade away from life God this isn't right, God just shed some light Through these clouds of grey that follow me everyday I sit in my cla** and then I fade away To a better place where we never face Suicide, d**, or pressure plates That put wait up on our backs And our dinner plates are always stacked And grandma smiles all the time Back to reality its just a fantasy Look down at my desk how can it be? As light breaks through the cracks of the grey clouds On a journal my grandma got me when I was 8 wow When I told her I wanted to be like 8 mile I break down rush to the restroom to put water on my face Blow Im outsie' , Im about to tell these people something they don't know about me
