Neon Brown - Kevin Ware lyrics

[Verse 1: FL] Sweet Americana Land of the free, and home of the brave,and recently legal marijuana I'm from a City and State called Denver, Colorado And I'd like to think of myself, as it's Aristotle In the shadows of the West and Gang banger's 'round the square remind you Hope this finds you well, If not Stand strong, and fair the storm 'cause life is 'bout survival When it rains it pours pans and pots I know We all see the winos With signs on the side roads Pleading for change to eat, to keep from going psycho Pleading for change and sleep Belief in god disintegrates and time slows to a halt as the prayers cease Damn When I see them, I help them when I can 'cause it ain't easy for me neither For I am just a man, hoping you recognizing me through the speakers Eager to spread my gift beyond these limits that i'm reaching But I never said this sh** ain't greasy Battered and Bleeding n***a, I'm barely even breathing Being a man of my word has always has it's advantage But I put myself in spots I barely can manage Like Dammit I need to write a book, or have it all journals But f** it, I just keep pushing like the pa** it on commercial Im rushing Thought I seen the finish, but it's just a checkpoint My girl said I need a job, like "Nah, just this leadpoint" [Bridge] If you don't get a job I swear im going back to my ex boyfriends dad's house And I'm going to stay there for as long as you rap Ok? [Verse 2: FL] Uh uh, My kids deserve better An so I work, prefer to rap, but not to earn lesser I feel like what I'm doing is pa**ed impressive But the last thing i wanna be, is just another rap n***a So I push my limits and express my mind Lookin' for presence in a race 'gainst time Got me on edge Sometimes it's of my seat, and sometimes it's of the ledge Feelin' like I'm on the brink of being straight, then I stress Like damn, we almost there Here's the door, thoughts of walking in controlled by fear Hunger for more, got me pressing forward Trying to dodge the corner, and not beg for quarters I got the warnings, but I never listened Hoping the pressure make a diamond out of my ambitions 2 steps up, then 3 steps back But I kept persistence Trying to find a solid route for all of my intentions Got a n***a really wishing like [Outro]
