This life is a game a chess That check mate it could mame your flesh Are you sure that you're ready to risk it all? Name your horse an place your bets These wavers are unwavering They've chained me into slavery And trained me since a baby that I gotta get that paper g So basically I'm a product of environments Sell'n dope ain't got no 401k No hope for retirement Gotta get in and get out When your family tell'n you get out An the homies are tell'n you hop in an lets go see what this shit's bout Have you felt the pain Wonder why the thunder strikes no cry'n in the rain I'm a cenobite remember you an I we ain't the same This shit here is outta left field When you gonna learn? I ain't concerned with how the rest feel I rest easy All I wanted was a family Not some epic tragedy Wish I had gotten my life straight Gramma don't be mad at me I'm tryna pull it back together It's too late it's dead and gone Hopes and dreams turned to triple beams Got a list of fiends, an the drugs they on Keep me warm, it's cold at night Searching for an open mic To get my feelings out among this crowd expose my broken life In a rush of rhythm an poetry Caught up in the pain and they know it's me Just what I need to ease my brain But before I go let me ask you this Have you felt the pain Wonder why the thunder strikes no cry'n in the rain I'm a cenobite remember you an I we ain't the same This shit here is outta left field When you gonna learn? I ain't concerned with how the rest feel I rest easy Some people are born With tragedy in they blood Reach'n for greatness but betrayed by the ones they love How does it feel To have a wacko as a son Not so great when everyone in your life has to run Searching low and high Try'na find a home Knowing every living creature on this earth dies alone I got emotional problems But I'm searching for the best Feel'n like my dad stabbed my mom up in the fuck'n chest Have you felt the pain Wonder why the thunder strikes no cry'n in the rain I'm a cenobite remember you an I we ain't the same This shit here is outta left field When you gonna learn? I ain't concerned with how the rest feel I rest easy
