Listening to: That Thing- Lauryn Hill
Feeling: nostalgic
You know we all mistakes
And we’re all prone to failure
See, the difference is, I create my sins now
And pay for them later
With the same hope that I have
That things will get better
I trust two bullets
And a Nina Beretta
My eyes have been scarred
Worse than my fate
I try to change day by day
But the more I try, the more my mind seems to contemplate
I mean, I wish everything was just as easy said
As it was done
But once you’re gone…
Same ole routine and it’s not us two, it’s just one
To clear my mind, I’m like you
I write until the pain dies down
Take two pills with water right before bed
Only to have demons consume me once my head is down
Just like I almost saw my nephew die
It’s just like I didn’t see my Uncle give
Just the same way my Great Grandfather is sleeping
Exactly the way we won’t see my cousin Whitney live…
It’s like no matter what we do
No matter how much writing, how much drugs we intake
We get an hour worth of real sleep
Before the alarm “hell†makes us wake
Gingerly tap me like I’m actually worthy
Light these two blunts like we’re down to the last two dimes
See the crack heads on the corner
Who sold their body just to take one high in their prime
Like it’s okay… it’s okay…
Just close your eyes and envision
Wake up to a new demon
But your only concern is that you’re still living
Aint it crazy?
We all make mistakes
I just don’t want to be the product of what failure creates…
