[Verse 1: Trademarc]

I need these flashy teeth, expensive kicks, no shit?
Everybody’s looking at me
I’m like this close to being on TV if need be
This life got me in a fistfight
Teens be picking apart so often it gets to be an art
And that’s the easy part
Try going home, living your life more alone
When the stones start blinging and the phone stop ringing
And it’s well-known that I’m prone to addiction
The friction between real life and fiction
Got me fishing for pills and liquor, a quick fixer
That’s a contradiction, so’s a crucifixion (huh?)
I don’t think you really know what it’s like
To be the spark of a light, the bark of a fight
The part that I’d like to throw away ain’t never gonna go away
The truth hides among lies like a stowaway
And I’m burning both ends to the center slow
And I’m learning both men will never know
Or never show true depths of their soul
Or the hand that they hold from the deck life throws
It’s just how it goes, it’s just how it be
Me, I’m at an all-time low
The face in the mirror ain’t never gonna get clearer
So I better let it go but let it be known
When I’m finally gone I’mma make sure
I take a few of you along

[Chorus]

I have faith and ? for year(?)
I have felt the torment and the fear
And I need to know
In my shadow of a man
Who I now am

[Verse 2: Esoteric]

Yo, chill, can I speak?
Wifey tell me that I’m overstressed
That I’m going through a blind rage stage with no focus left
Every preacher thinks it’s right when the hope is left
Every critic thinks it’s hype when the dope is left
All the street teamers out of rap, the soldiers left (Peace)
No ideas coalesce, no dough to invest
I’m so depressed, head hits the pillow
I stay awake all night I can’t cope with that
Where’s our soul go when we pass?
What’s the worth of a rebirth if we can’t recall our past?
The thing makes me think my dawg gets me
The same shit that makes me think that I can talk to Leslie
It upsets me, she’s been dead a year
I believe she can hear cause my imagination lets me
Maybe wisdom will remove me from this road to atheism
But I doubt it, you can’t re-route it
This kid is crazy like these snares from the early 80’s
In tune with his soul like this piano roll
And like these reanimated keys
I’ve been thrown for a loop basically
Banished and based in a basement of complacency
So ill I don’t wanna see Buffalo Bill
Being chained cause prisoner isn’t a good look
When you can’t find a trace of faith within the good book
Or a speck of respect without the hood look
With all the records we wreck we got the hood hooked

[Chorus]
