Late at night, this pain I write's a way of life Cause you could pay the price like snake eyes, playing dice Cause same blood stain the knife grow grains of rice That's great advice, should say it twice like edelweiss My father skated, I was young thought I was hated I couldn't take it went from incarcerated to faded Jaded through the years was no more communication Kept moving and basically ruined normal human relations Moms found a new dude and moved him right in Sometimes I wonder if pops ain't left how things might've been Now her suns out with D but no vitamins The more family broke apart I grew tighter with friends Childhood became wild as fuck Now it only bills and green on my dome now like a mallard duck Almost feels like I'm out of luck All this talent on my pallet but still, somehow I'm stuck We was young kids running the streets The hunger in my stomach was deep, need something to eat Hood full of drugs pulling the rug from under your feet Pushers and thugs, hookers fucked and dug in the seats Emotional baggage just so happens the luggage was cheap Youngin's with dreams, some we had to chase and some passed away Cats could say this clay is cash art creators knew the charts could make more racks Than Cassius clay Let the past remain what I overcame Goal to gain numb the pain like it's novocaine Let his actions be attached to a soldiers name Open frames to his soul let it show the shame Or let him grow like sun glows in the pouring rain Know the game is no game I do so exclaim This propane from my veins you just hold the flame Roll on and leave the passed in the shoulder lane
