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. |
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 | |
