Lately I’ve been feeling stifled by my addictions and reckless ways Drowning in the depths of depression dreaming of yesterday Breathless haze staring out the window while the record plays Before the penmanship penning lyrics in second grade Let’s just say I was raised holding onto silent rage Till the day my anger manifested to my violent ways And now they’re here to stay, they keep trying to hibernate They never sleep, I never sleep at night, I’m always wide awake I try to make a break away but I’m always pulled back The winter’s cold, my knuckles are red, I rock a skullcap I walk the streets at night sliding on the ice My own reflection in the sidewalks I’ve been fighting all my life I’ve been writing all my life, schoolbooks to bar napkins Product of froze streets, cool crooks, and hard rapping I hear your palms clapping, I hear your cars crashing I hear you living and dying, this is how stars happen
[Chorus]
I didn’t even known we’d fall asleep I didn’t even known we’d fall asleep
[Verse 2]
These long sheets of paper just get shorter when the candle burns I’m tiptoeing opening doors when the handle turns The dark speaks, flames flicker Light trickles underneath the blinds Open just the sides for eyes to peek out the window At the dark skies and all the night’s creeps I look at my girl inside my bed and see my wife sleep She breathes calmly meanwhile I got a m***********g army And madness sits behind me and my pad is all that matters I scatter random words and abandon slurs I write em with the tragic pen imagining what can’t occur Can’t occur, high as hell, open up a can of worms Douse the world with gasoline and burn it, goddamnit burn My pen is mightier than swords, mightier than yours Words live forever so they’re mightier than wars I can’t sleep at all, I’m fighting for a cause I am fighting for what’s mine, I am fighting for what’s yours
