| This ain't no place for a man of faith | |
| I gamble it all away, tumble into fall abased and ablaze | |
| Can't fault or blame fam, they parade arrays of aid and praise | |
| Saints patronized by the razor blade | |
| Dismayed and fazed and maybe I assay the prize | |
| Stay alive or prepared – scared aint no way to die | |
| Though if my ache could be assuaged by sin | |
| I'll make it bleed fate, racing to the gate pleading "take me in," I'm | |
| Down, unable to prevail unassisted | |
| Will the tempest hail another victim in cyclical rhythm? Please | |
| Break it, 'cause honestly the lie "I try tirelessly" is cowardice | |
| Powerless am I to fight this avarice, I'm | |
| Down, to give over control, the soul's solely yours | |
| Deal and dispose, but keep it real close and don't | |
| Break it, 'cause they gon' take it hard if I don't make it through | |
| And some are reaching for reason to hate you. | |
| Time and time again I've been told | |
| That I focus on the flaws of man's off-center ten-fold | |
| Stricken with the winter cold, sippin' the burnin' hot | |
| A spill will blister, learn not to leave skin exposed | |
| Stitch it up and pray the kid recover nicely | |
| And I might have if not for daddy's bad advice | |
| He's the type to fight God but not a vice | |
| Grip the heater twice as hard – it's this reality I battle nightly | |
| Even in sleep it seems flight's unattainable | |
| Upon waking the facial expression deigns a satiable exchange | |
| Weather shades drawn, either side a storm rages on | |
| Patiently the fawn awaits the day the rain's gone | |
| In my defense I claim it's obvious I'm not him | |
| Probably it's the toxin – sorry it's a lot been unresolved | |
| Sick since six, seen 'em revolve around a small town | |
| 'Click,' call it quits – bring all them walls | |
| Down, finally I'mma defeat the rival | |
| With a rifle, writing my epistle titled "try cycle," I | |
| Break it, so never they perpetuate the malady | |
| Abashedly accommodate mortality, undoubtedly I'm | |
| Down, to reconsider, I'll stay if you can make a promise though | |
| Please keep it real close and don't | |
| Break it, | |
| I'm warning, not strong enough to take it now | |
| And I'm investigating other ways out | |
| Will rebuilds what the bottle destroyed | |
| I'm downhill standing still at the bottom of Roy | |
| Where the pass over I-5 looks alive much as anything | |
| Cling to the side and any sign of your memory | |
| My creative liberty is tempting me to hasten to the point of penance | |
| We could be rejoined if you employ forgiveness | |
| Sell it all, tell 'em hell is nothing but a cell wall | |
| I'mma soar even as the shell… fall… | |
| Down, shed not a tear for my exodus | |
| I'm here in the protectorate, the fear I held was delicate, to | |
| Break it, simply took a leap of faith and virtue | |
| Serve through, I never meant to hurt you, for certain I'll be | |
| Down, to revisit the dearest of my kinfolk | |
| Hold the spirit near, keep it real close and don't | |
| Break it, the creed is all we got until we meet again | |
| I'm prayin' you're gon' make it through the season. |
