about

I recorded this track a lil bit after I got some of my hearing back

lyrics

They say I'm strange and abrasive
call me a fucker of mothers
would be like a father to brother
but I got caught up like others
picked the streets over my home
and sent hellos from the gutter
pulled off the blindfold
they knew I'd never recover
let them see the red in my eyes
I watch their souls shudder
I've seen dreams die
because of fantasies of others
that squeeze
fatalities into fallacies they utter
so please
your knees are dirty when you lie you stutter
go ahead
try to hide you'll find
it only uncovers
the lies you lay your lives on
quicksand you fuckers
I ain't learned it cause I heard it
to surpass I've suffered
backstabber and throat cutters
I've had my last supper
now I'm starving
keep sipping you suckers
yall be slipping I be carving
a chunk out the fucker
clock's ticking times warning
every second get rougher
plot thickens and I'm storming
you won't know a thing
until you go under

Run and hide
or stand and fight
live to breath
not to lie
pray all night
but why ask why
live to die another day
Run and hide
or stand and fight
live to breath
not to lie
pray all night
but why ask why
live to fight another day

I fought and fled
bluff and called
cut'em and bled
born to be free
better off dead
its human they said
mistakes that I'd live to regret
made my own bed
I can't sleep so I fuck'em instead
about a buck fifty-five
pounds of hard head
couldn't change my mind with a sledgehammer to the head
ducked cops, shots and cars one time left of dead
took aim more than once but I never bust lead
took blame once to much
God forbid its them
when you open up your heart
sometimes its hard to defend
fighting hate with hate
sometimes its hard to pretend
showed them fucks I was hurting
they took the bait in the end
got'em
shock hit'em like I shot'em with adrenaline
popped them with the medicine
to not sleep again
I opt to op outside the block I'm living in
can't see me being stopped by this prison they say we in

Run and hide
or stand and fight
live to breath
not to lie
pray all night
but why ask why
live to die another day
Run and hide
or stand and fight
live to breath
not to lie
pray all night
but why ask why
live to fight another day
