Matt Solo - Once Upon A Time In Chattanooga lyrics

[Produced by Donato] [Engineering by Colton "Hiro" Bonine] [Intro] Yeah, uh uh, yeah yeah, uh Once upon a time, once upon a time, once upon a time, in Chattanooga Yeah, uh, yeah yeah, uh yeah Once upon a time, once upon a time once, upon a time, once upon a time in Chattanooga [Verse1] My daddy wasn't there my mama tried to play both Drug her through hell on the real so many problems arose Her bottle became a fear, my life became resented f** luck wit broken mirrors I sliced wit pain drippin To nights, became victim of long walks in dark places Not talkin' not prayin' among hard and chalked pavements Lawless life waitin' initiation on reserve For the day my age and hatred makes it's way to the turf All it takes is a word, guard yo face don't get hurt Hands shake and you there, now only way is a hurst I gave my life to the evil, and did the deeds of the devil And shot that 9 from the regal, hid the seeds of whoever I'd hit the weed for that level, that peace of mind and the giggles Until that weed hid that devil, that ceased my time wit it quicker Than 1 5 from that pistol, plus the one you got waitin' That's 16, that's what you get, and they gon hit, like shots blazin' On this block slick impatient, wit this plot for these pages Sit and rot in a cage, get shot, or live evasive What the lack of motivation, where's my reason to try? When every chapter I'm jus waitin, for the scene where I die Keep that heat on my side, rappers lie about they past Me have no reason to lie, this how i try to out the bad Wit a pen and a pad, I gave my life a script my story All the sh** in my past, My days and nights mixed wit the gory Get to the glory, I'm tryin' to, warning no sugar coat Gon be a hard pill to swallow, the thorn straight off the rose Yet every morn as I am woke, I take a second for the light Thank the Lord for two presents opened, a blessing in my eyes Blessings in disguise, lookin' up feelin blue I leave a lesson in the lines, look em up this for you Hidden message in my rhymes, I'll only note that it's bright You have no fear of demise, why should you focus it's light? This life is colder than ice, and I jus gave you the answer But you ain't payin' attention, like a patient wit cancer At the table tryin' gamble, wit a drink and a square Risking more than jus a band or 2, ain't thinkin' to care Ain't thinkin' it's real, we live, cry, and pay us some bills And then we die, fade from memories, while stayin concealed Can't take that it's near, procrastination only cause worry Basically here, face it homie God is in a hurry Me myself I live humble, knowin' I'll f** up again But i survived through a jungle, knowin' it's all cause of Him So when my cards is all in, against the man wit the clock Im'a look em in the eyes, say, "good game father time" and I'm out [Bridge] It's a long way to heaven, to be livin' so close A step away from hell, to be livin' so cold Too in debt with our self, to be livin' this bold Truth dead, loyalty scared, and love is at war 2× [Outro] Once upon a time, yeah yeah Once upon a time, yeah yeah Once upon a time, yeah yeah In Chattanooga
