lyrics

Verse 1: Pain strikes, sometimes you sit and wonder/ how long will it be before the dark takes you under/ its hard to embrace it all I know life gets scarier/ people hungry dying in poverty stricken areas/ fiends walk like zombies who badly infected/ looking down those dark alleys where drugs injected/ where they carry their metal and dance with the devil/ when I'm gone make sure that this message hit every ghetto/ you stuck on the bridge of hell hard to get across/ many in the wilderness lost with suicidal thoughts/ caught in a life maze watching everything crumble/ a struggle when your'e trana survive in wicked jungles/ dealing with hard times reminiscing on your past/ days cold you never know when it will be your last/ looking at everything see how it all will play out/ man I just pray and hope you find a way out

Hook 2x: Days going and I'm right on the edge/ about to jump off but I pick the pin up instead/ these thoughts in my head really making sure they feel this/ we all got them real life struggles we deal with/ days going and I'm right on the edge/ about to jump off message still alive when I'm dead/ thoughts in my head really making sure they feel this/ we all got them real life struggles we deal with

Verse 2: Look in the mirror the reflection of my father/ like Simba when Rafiki told him look at the water/ times is harder trying to survive in this country/ had a conversation with a recovered addict junkie/ something deep he broke it down how my music saved him/ opened his eyes with the inspiration that it gave him/ told me how he was in a war with his own evils/ many marks on his arms he was messing with them needles/ this the music the people need I'm one of the chosen/ so I paint these deep vivid pictures while these walls closing/ seen what was unfolding when the mist started clearing/ false illusions majority of minorities fearing/ blind in these last days its hard to see the blessing/ aint no teliing what I'll be facing right after this session/ deeper depression getting lost in them dark shadows/ where demons will haunt you I'm a true warrior in these battles/ I'm trana make it where I can bring all of my brothers in/ but underneath this empty smile more than just struggling/ puffin the marijuana smoke them trees help/ starting to wonder if this how Capital Steez felt/ I need help or I'll just be trapped in this black hole/ no light at the end of the tunnel just lost souls/ seeing the final ending in the chapter my eyes close/ in the end of my story they'll say that this king rose

Hook 2x: Days going and I'm right on the edge/ about to jump off but I pick the pin up instead/ these thoughts in my head really making sure they feel this/ we all got them real life struggles we deal with/ days going and I'm right on the edge/ about to jump off message still alive when I'm dead/ thoughts in my head really making sure they feel this/ we all got them real life struggles we deal with

Bridge: People struggling trana survive/ hard to really make it when you barely making it by/ a little above the water just so we can breathe/ yo its deeper than you think we got seeds to feed
