The writings on the wall ain't mine at all I wonder when these angels gonna catch me from this fall I try to move on and I try to stay strong But I'm afraid of the dark, please turn the lights on, turn the lights on
Damn, it's been a few months now And I ain't got a new song, I haven't wrote a thing down Except, except the writings on the wall "But that penmanship is different Scottie, I don't think it's yours" Wait, who the hell is talking to me? There goes another one, who the hell is walking with me? Dishonesty, insecurity, envy, can't be Uh, I ain't never been the type to be a jealous kind of dude In a spiteful kind of mood with an attitude of rude When my clouds is all gloom But these demons keep feeding me a rotten silver spoon Uh, I am so confused now, I'm too young to be feeling this senile But I see now, when you're at the top the only place to look is down

Damn, it's been a few days now And I ain't ate a damn thing, I haven't had a lick of water Uh, I guess that's what stress brings, I guess that's what stress brings But Vinny's drums are so loud and the crowd is going wild You can never tell I'm stressing I know this stage is such a blessing But it's hard for me ever to enjoy it Cause most of my guys collect unemployment And every month I'm still struggling to make rent Fuck, I wish I was a millionaire But these wishes keep falling on deaf ears So I drop to my knees and I beg prayers It's like I'm walking a million miles just to find stairs But the stress of success is you never know when it's coming, it's all guessing

A long time ago, I said "Mommy, Won't you tell me a story About the man who never left his house at all?" She said he spent his years just waiting All the while his life was fading Until he died without ever answering the call Weeks went by, people started to wonder So they stormed his house in a thunder And found a note next to his body in the hall It said: "I couldn't take another season (I couldn't take another season) And if you want to know the reason (And if you want to know the reason) Just look around and read the writings on the wall (Just look around and read the writings on the wall)"
