lyrics

Listen To My Song

I only got one chance, to try to make amends
Break bread replace trends, and embrace my sins
I'm never phased eh-em, (cough), ok I mask emotion
Bastard poet, pissed off he never had promotion
Never had real support, or learn to deal with loss
And talking shit on records, only thing to chill my thoughts
Often conceal whats wrong, and I deflect and dodge
The simple fact Im getting by on a strong lexicon
Not stressed by god, I'm stressed by mere mortals
Still trying to accept the death of my own morals
I quarrel with success, I must like to struggle
And I think cuz Im a dick i got the right to fuck you
Everyday I think of quitting, stash my mic in a duffel
blame society for try to put my life in a bubble
But I'm the only one able to truly right my wrongs
So I throw on a beat and write my life in a song
It goes....

I only got one chance to try to make it big
Play to win but keep feeling like the game is rigged
I just complain and swig, all this liquor and beer down
Consume to much filth, binge drinking like year round
It's weird I'm here now, devoid of emotion
Pissed the music biz is exploiting my focus
Act coy when I'm broken, I struggle with feelings
Rather just whyle out, jump up touch the ceiling
I fucking conceal it, like a stolen glock nine
My CD's too honest, for the public to cop mine
I think of selling out, these corporations got us
Manipulate what we see, persuade our logic
Tell us that we need, enslave us to products
And then pocket the profits and say its syntonic
Makes me misanthropic, gotta fight to be strong
So I hold on through the lyrics that I write in the song
It goes...

I only got one chance to try to speak my piece
To move mountains, climbs cliffs and truly reach my peak
Gotta creep passed the smut, sluts, and sleazy freaks
Lifes a bitch, with no conscious and a mean physique
She love to tempt me and tease me, and keep me weak
I gotta stay head strong and keep seeking peace
Gotta turn the other cheek learn to release my heat
I gotta chill sit back turn on some eazy e
Ain't trying to keep beef, trying to learn to forgive
But I was raised in a landfill of murder and sin
Where It takes work to find ways to smirk and grin
Gotta dig deep and search for the worth with in
It's all love for my peoples who support the kid
Who listen to my song, better yet bought the shit
It's my chance at immortality so when I'm gone
You can play this back and know I put my life in the song it goes....
