Yea I turned 21 in prison locked up at night |
| [00:16.29] |
Now I walk around free seems like another life |
| [00:18.93] |
Another roll with some other dice |
| [00:21.12] |
Another ho or a loving wife |
| [00:23.11] |
People come and go some really you never know |
| [00:25.60] |
Intellectual midgets that really never grow |
| [00:28.23] |
Fake love that holds on like "can I hold you though?" |
| [00:31.02] |
And old friends will look at you like "yo, yea, I told you so" |
| [00:33.76] |
A toast to the broken hearted |
| [00:35.20] |
Who never finished what they fuckin started |
| [00:37.20] |
People who go out and try to be a rebel at night |
| [00:40.05] |
Try to make up for the fact that they settled in life |
| [00:42.69] |
It's like a fight between the devil & Christ over the limelight |
| [00:45.72] |
Spiritual celebrity poker |
| [00:47.52] |
But the whole deck is full of jokers |
| [00:49.36] |
And every year that you get older |
| [00:51.26] |
The stakes get higher |
| [00:52.50] |
Gambling with a bunch of fakes and liars |
| [00:54.94] |
Real talk cause the real New York |
| [00:56.78] |
Is the pain and the suffering of lost love |
| [00:59.18] |
Staring off into the distance in the midst of the club |
| [01:02.07] |
Depression and emptiness that lead to suicide |
| [01:04.55] |
And the struggle inside of yourself that keeps you alive |
| [01:07.34] |
Survived and medicated stalked by sobriety |
| [01:10.04] |
The life that you live now tortured by memories violently |
| [01:12.58] |
I pray inside of me that one day you could be forgiven |
| [01:15.11] |

Verse 2 |
| [01:38.22] |
Love, doesn't need a complicated metaphor |
| [01:42.31] |
And sometimes nothin' needs to be said at all |
| [01:45.00] |
Sometimes a person you're with is not your one and only |
| [01:47.54] |
And you just fuck with them because you afraid to be lonely |
| [01:50.33] |
And when you come back its too late |
| [01:52.17] |
So you overcompensate, like victims of rape, full of self-hate |
| [01:55.61] |
Lost in the affection to strangers around you |
| [01:57.95] |
Instead of the only person that ever gave a fuck about you |
| [02:01.04] |
Thought you were happy so you didn't come check me |
| [02:03.48] |
But then when he cheated or treated you incorrectly |
| [02:06.06] |
You conveniently realized you could never forget me |
| [02:08.75] |
And tried to crawl back in my life unexpectedly |
| [02:11.55] |
These are my indictments of those who claim to be righteous |
| [02:14.33] |
And leave a trail of broken hearts on their way to enlightment |
| [02:16.92] |
But I can't give into hatred or pass judgment |
| [02:19.57] |
Even towards every illusion I've been in love with |
| [02:22.35] |
Cause the heart that betrays itself willingly |
| [02:24.99] |
Is like a nation that trades freedom for stability |
| [02:27.63] |
It's so seductive to be cold and corrupted |
| [02:30.02] |
And isolated and try to be an independent republic |
| [02:32.97] |
But liberty to be loved on the surface is worthless |
| [02:35.90] |
The sacrifice of revolution with no purpose |
| [02:38.34] |
Take it from a criminal searching for his redemption |
| [02:41.03] |
Cursing at God desperately trying to get his attention |
