The harder I work
The smaller escape
The taller the gate
They say it's all in the game
And I should feel honored to race
The harder I work
The smaller escape
The taller the gate
They say it's all in the game
And I should feel honored to race
Feats of strength for applause
Jus slap some gauze on that thang
And don't be awkward on stage
New bone deposit my face
I owe my life to the cause
Give my all to the gang
Because without em I'm lost
My martyrdom entertainment
Walls of my brain I recaulk
Meaningful recall unembraced
U hear me cough in myself
I hear you scoff at my jays
One for each day of the week
Burn each one down in a day
Everybody treating my regular
I lost my elders n baby
I wandered helpless in St. Louis
Lost myself to the pavement
I couldn't even remember
What I was searching or chasing
U said u seen me wake up twitching
Seen your mom keep me stable
That incident cost me
December three more ribcage I cave
The cost of me doing business
My garden tear irrigated
Now I'm too player to know me
Guess how the fuck I was coping
Finally sober and it's jus another layer of lonely
Niggas retrace to my home so I keep my laser the closest
I told mama
I need new chrome she think im playing or joking
I told her that
I'm on my second watch sum change in her knowing
She watched her son change
Into something tucked away for the longest
Me n mitch gon crash the car
We shed those those tears on the highway
Me and Isaiah did the same
Then he went his I went my way
I'm off to bury another angel I ain't think I could die
When I feel things b surprised
I'm dry I ain't think I could cry
If mama took her self serious
As me ain't no way I survive
The sun jus pace in the sky
Tryna escape the horizon
The harder I work
The smaller escape
The taller the gate
They say it's all in the game
And I should feel honored to race
But you hate loving me say it
However awful it taste
I threw it all in the flames n I know it
Laughing so hard the shit painful I know it
