Late for everything, my face to the cement That's how I always seen it I spent days faded and anemic You could see it in my face I ain't been eatin', I'm just wastin' away Looks like the way that river phoenix Went gon' end up my fate
And when they drag me out the gutter Mail the ashes to my mother Twist the spliff if I don't finish my plate Slip a fist up for my niggas in chains, my mental was caged See I ain't been to prison but the feeling's the same Shared sentiment, winnin' if the pen hit the page As of late, I've been watchin' every bitch on myspace Shit's just lookin' different with age Try to make some sense of all this shit in my brain One foot stuck in a tar pit of my ways
It was like that the whole time, we'll be alright Stay up all night, but it's alright I done stayed up the whole night, but it's alright It's me and my nibbling conscience Nigga I'm fixin' to give up I've been alone for the longest It's trouble, the way that we're joggin'
Nothin' gon' save us or stop us Me and my nibbling conscience Nigga I'm fixin' to give up I've been alone for the longest This spliff, I ain't splittin' no time soon My brain split in two, it's rainin' a bit I hope it's a monsoon, my face in the sink I'm seein' my mom soon, I'm faded, I stink Stay in it
I got my grandmama's hands, I start to cry when I see 'em Cause they remind me of seein' her These the times that I needed her most cause I feel defeated And I buy nothin' by myself, my second thoughts, my hec My hands, I start to cry when I see 'em Cause they remind me of seein' her These the times that I needed Her most cause I feel defeated
And I buy nothin' but myself, my second thoughts My hectic process of thinkin' And all my doubts and I think I know nak in there sleepin' He on the couch, that's my brother Give me a boost when my confidence need it So I love him, to tell the truth
I got a problem with eatin' I be druggin', to tell the truth I'm not supposed to be off in here I'm supposed to be sleepin' But I be turnin' and tossin' To tell the truth, I miss my partna dem To tell the truth, you can't be loud When you're the wrongest, fam To tell the truth, I'm at a loss of friends Well time waits for no man and death waits with cold hands I'm the youngest old man that you know If ya soul intact, let me know
