lyrics

My pain speaks to the masses, my life’s an open book,
Every day’s a different verse and I’m just here to write the hooks,
My muse is life, so my music rarely proves to soothe the strife,
I wrap myself in darkness, so my tunes consume the light,
I’m the groom and this gloom is my wife, til death parts us,
One of the best to live and spit at least til I’m carcass,
I’m an artist, not the most complex or the smartest,
But my heart proved to be larger than my hardship ever bargained for,
Sure I dug some holes, did some dirt, caused some shit,
Been there, done that, bought the beat and slaughtered it,
Recorded that, sat back and watched as y’all applauded,
Got the people drunk on testers, before I bottled the product,
Now my soul’s sold on every tape, so cold but never shake,
Levitate above the rest, and sever chains they’d never break,
I elevate, because the rest can drag you down like metal weights,
And that’s a trend that’s never safe, that I will not perpetuate.

I can’t do that, I can only do me,
I could never be fake, So understand that,
I can’t turn back, gotta continue to move,
Cause I can’t lose, it’s not allowed man
I can’t do that, I can only do me,
I could never be fake, So understand that,
I can’t turn back, gotta continue to move,
Cause I can’t lose, it’s not allowed man.
I can’t do that, naw ya understand?
I can’t turn Back, ya feel me?

My bitterness is comfortable, that’s why I keep my fangs out,
My misery loves company, so who wants to hang out,
I’m running short on true friends this noose end is choking me,
I’ve seen how this movie ends, with view lens un-focusing,
I’m due my ends, still I stay broke, trying to chase shows,
To make dough, to pay for this simple life where I lay low,
My halo isn’t bright anymore, closer to day-glo,
Unstable, like chemicals mixed, they say I may blow,
My game knows no bounds, my statements are profound,
My pace has been crazy from jump, I don’t slow down,
I hold down this whole town, from rooftop to cold ground,
So all I need is a plat plaque and this gold crown,
So call on me when the rap’s wack where you at,
I got nuff tracks, for all who swinging off my nutsac,
Trust that, even if you trust nothing else,
And trust that I will stand when all the rest have fell, because I…..

I can’t do that, I can only do me,
I could never be fake, So understand that,
I can’t turn back, gotta continue to move,
Cause I can’t lose, it’s not allowed man
I can’t do that, I can only do me,
I could never be fake, So understand that,
I can’t turn back, gotta continue to move,
Cause I can’t lose, it’s not allowed man.
I can’t do that, naw ya understand?
I can’t turn Back, ya feel me?
