Nino Bless - Faded Portrait lyrics

Now whenever I'm feeling like Life, ain't dealing the right Cards, though I ain't fulfilled, I'm- Still, l'm still never stale or contrite Prevailed through strife Now my mind's in convalescence Still 9 times out of 10 sh**, I'm non compos mentis (Whoa) Stress and emotions shifting Coped with pop's coke addiction My road to perdition Has stood the course that most predicted Those admissions ain't need a oath or no religion (Nope!) See, me and sanity ain't close but we co-existing Though… (Uh) I was raised by OG's in the streets & RZA beats That recipe & sitting in grief, released my inner beast Peep, these women'll creep, & snakes are diggin in deep Through the gra**, I'm slipping'em then I behead'em & skin'em before being bitten and venom excretes I'm, reaching my imminent peak My only equivalents' are legends resting in peace Seen rifles blasted, live from Flatbush, to find my pa**age I tried all tactics, read vital chapters Felt closer to the end, so I read the Bible backwards (Oh!) Them lights are flashing I sneak by'em, I don't write for the ma**es (No, no!) I'm nothing like you and I don't like you ba*tards Iconoclastic, mindset, yet even I'm distracted & enticed by that ice & cash Well who likes they life so average? (Me!) No! Nino's, e-go's, not affected by placebo I was infected by Pacino's perfected role of Carlito My city needs no hero, I'm heavent-sent no Tebow You can't beat'em I'm the reason they invented them cheat codes (Uh)
