Lyrics
Now, I can spit it for you like I'm the best, but its kinda hard to front when I got this pain on my chest, all this stress building up, at the verge of a break, now how much of this shit am I really expected to take? Neglected the fake, thought I had that truth mapped out. So where the fuck is the light? I feel like Im blacked out. But I wont back down cuz my hearts in the sky, and Im gon' make it rain blood till the day that I die. I could tell you a lie, yeah? I think Im perfect. Lets keep it real and just say there's a purpose. So, when life surface, (everything clicks right), I will be the one to push through the night. And I promise to climb, I promise to climb to the top, and Im never givin up until the day that I drop. And you can be that I said it, and Ill never regret life for one second, get it? ____ And to my son, you know I love you, sorry dad dont have shit, but I swear to fuckin god you'll have it all in a bit. Ill give you everything, except no more of the pain. Dont you ever fuckin stick a needle into your veins. Dont you ever think that moneys more important than love. Dont you ever doubt you faith and know it comes from above. Im gunna tell you this once, at its straight from the heart; that the devils gunna fuckin try and rip you apart. But, believe me "anth" there is a light if you make it. The dark can only hold you till you learn how to break it. Take life and embrace it, squeeze that shit till its gone, and tell everyone you know what I said in this song. So when right goes wrong, dont turn your head to the side, pick up and show this world that you've got nothin but pride. It comes from inside, and you never can doubt. Now, show em what you about.___ Now, can we get a dollar for every single tear that we shed? Can we get a couple pennies for these kids that are dead? Can we get your two cents on these kids on the street? Cuz you know that they are dying to eat. ow, can we get a dollar for every single tear that we shed? Can I get a couple pennies for these kids that are dead? Can we get your two cents for these kids on the street? Cuz you know that they are dying to eat. (repeat 4x)
