When I tell you id sell my soul for half of a chance at making it
Would you be shocked? Would you be scared? Would you be taking it?
I'm over worked, over tired, im over faking it
Disconnect, disrespect all my relationships
I dont rest a second,
My mind is wiling, its injected with this epinephrine
My chest is wrenching from the stress of fucking every mention
Of the check and how im supposed to get it every second
Is this the best or what's to give cuz I ain't feel the great
Born in the wrong age, I hear that shit like every day
And I aint saying I ain't blessed cuz I aint feel that way
But I'd be lying if I said my beds already made
Damned if I do and im damned if I don't
Can he be dope or the candle be blown
Uh, Balance the throne and Sierra Leone
Uh, practicing raps in the back of his home
Uh, family man with his salary gone
Mirror on the wall
Here we are again
Through my rise and fall
You've been my only friend
You told me that they can't
Understand the man I am
So why are we
Here
Talking to each other again?
To live a life of art
To dedicate it to the ache thats in my childish heart
Thats what I tried to start
To escape the 8 to 5 and the timecard
I debate the taste of grain in a firearm
Uh yeah So this the truth
To mister never give a fuck who sitting in the booth
Sixteen listening to Nas in his youth
Next to me he'd think an imposters in the room
Next to me he'd prolly end up dropping out of school
Following his heart and prolly rocking it with it too
Thats the kinda Austin that I oughta listen to
But the thought of popping off is getting hard for me to do
Uh, Speak of the devil, uh, here come the rebel, uh
Freak in his mental, uh, weak from the battle, uh
I used to think that it was all so simple
And now im caught up in the middle
Staring at the
Mirror on the wall
Here we are again
Through my rise and fall
You've been my only friend
You told me that they can't
Understand the man I am
So why are we
Here
Talking to each other again?
