Track 2 - Doo Rags To Riches Mixtape
Verse 1:
Grinding a pen on a page so i can witness existence
Broken words flyin through my mental, how can i fix this?
Repentance? naw, jus give me a death sentence
Don't wanna see tomorrow if the pain gon' be endless
Feel I'm grinding to the point of extinction, bleeding from my ink pen
And my brain has stopped doin the thinkin'
Leaving it to my eyes who deny wut i've seen
Tryna hide the obscene from a survival machine
Grippin concrete to add a couple minutes to my life span
For balance, grab a bottle and the word from my nite stand
Hand me anotha dollar, so I make it to anotha day
I'm trapped, surrounded by the world, so I can't even run away
That whole area's gray, I'm lost but barely astray
Fightin so hard for life it seems I'm gettin carried away
Survival Tactics aint lastin a minute
Or infinite. Read my biography, I aint even in it.
Verse 2:
Call me the neighbor of the absence of life
But i aint ridin in a casket tonite, i'm just askin for lite
No, my pain aint like the passion of Christ
But since I crashed in the night, I aint been actin right
Asked for sight, I became blind, at the same time
Lost my mind, so i'm tryin redesign what I find
Turn my pleasure to peace, so i aint dead in the streets
I thought i was most respected, but they said I was least
Tryna rise like yeast, but I tumble like the wall of Berlin
Barely make it to the surface before falling again
Crawlin in sin as I strike it with the mic
Something's not right, these dogs bite harder than i thought they might
I'm thinkin I'm sinkin in quick sand
My extinction is quick and I'm blinkin, seeing its getting thick man
The lies been penetrating, so I'm disintegrating
Probably the idol u don't wanna be imitating
Verse 3:
Losing my mind, think i'm 10% what i used to be
I'm not used to me, becoming somethin i refuse to be
Said I was blind, no i refused to see
In a heavy storm, always getting struck by the loose debris
Look in the mirror, I'm like who is he, as if there's really 2 of me
Each night I gotta face a scene where sin and evil shoot at me
I'm loosening composure when boulders droppin
Looking over shoulders often as my soul is caught in
A spiral of bolder talkin. I told my coffin
That he will never see the day that this soldier stoppin
Now hold ya heart, because i know it skipped a beat
If i don't grip the heat, I may be fit to sleep
Eternally, turning me to an endangered species
Could make it without the money, but I aim to see cheese
Its just the same old see breeze, grinding for existence
Cuz when I cease to grind the that means I'm dying in an instance
