Lyrics

[00:00.00] 作曲 : Braunstein, Carroll, Schrody
[00:02.95][00:31.88][00:53.09][01:37.29][01:58.69][02:20.47][03:03.82][03:24.79][03:46.94]
[00:10.85][03:04.08] Glory fades and glory days ain't always what they seem
[00:15.89][03:09.36] Give all I got and make my salaat and dream my broken dreams
[00:21.30][03:14.34] I crawl inside, ball up and hide, tuck my pain away
[00:26.53][03:19.62] And hope to God I fall into a sleep where I can stay
[00:32.18][03:25.59] We all got bills to settle, we all got a price to pay
[00:37.29][03:30.58] And if I make it through the night I can fight another day
[00:42.64][02:10.03][03:36.11] They say it's better to burn out than it is to fade away
[00:47.93][02:15.43][03:41.58] I just hope to God I can fall into a sleep where I can stay
[00:53.46] It was a couple of years ago that I started becoming numb
[00:56.70] No one could understand where all my words were coming from
[00:59.50] Having visions of a nine-to-five, a wife, a blunt, a son
[01:02.17] Of a life of hustle getting by with some of the running gun
[01:04.78] Is it best to be a crumb? My ex says he's a bum
[01:08.62] Lashing out in violence whenever my destiny it hung
[01:11.41] In the balance, rum, I'm drinking gallons, some think that my flows
[01:15.02] Are more poetic than the poems of Edgar Allen Poe
[01:17.07] But I know that I'm at a challenge though
[01:19.75] I can hold an old Calico to my dome and let my talents go
[01:22.48] Shit, I spent my whole life around the violence so
[01:25.16] I planted seeds of hate oh I let my habits grow
[01:27.90] I slept with the homeless, I copped with the fiends
[01:30.19] Lost the love inside my heart, I even forgot what it means
[01:32.81] Seen the ripest nights turn into the rottenest schemes
[01:35.42] But through it all I have never forgotten my dreams
[01:37.61] When the gutters fill with blood that's spilled from friends that pass away
[01:42.58] And memories of eulogies while standing by their graves
[01:47.87] Just trying to survive we wind up living lives like slaves
[01:53.21] I hope to God I can fall into a sleep where I can stay
[01:59.44] We all got beef to settle, we all got demons to slay
[02:04.67] And if I pray all through the night I can fight another day
[02:21.15] Rest in peace to my homie Sob
[02:22.84] I stand before an altar of open sepultures and coffins
[02:26.50] I heard Javier got killed, it didn't seem real
[02:29.11] With an army of goons drinking straight vodka to deal
[02:31.66] We live and die by the gun, wear our hearts on our sleeves
[02:34.72] Even though our compassion's destined to die on the streets
[02:37.27] What's left over a cold hollow murder machine
[02:39.63] With an appetite for malevolence, perversion, and greed
[02:42.50] When one of us dies we don't really learn anything
[02:45.23] Outside the funeral doing bumps, burning trees
[02:48.03] Plotting revenge, crying over fallen angels
[02:50.45] Sometimes your friends die the most awkward strangers
[02:53.07] I can't lie, sometimes this life makes me a stranger to myself
[02:56.17] But I'm pulling myself together, it's bigger than just me
[02:59.16] As I spit this bear witness to truth
[03:01.15] My unborn seed listens while I spit in the booth
