so I take another step, and one more breath closer to death. there's things going on in this world that got me stressed. lately I find myself searching my soul. looking for signs of life, a warmth in the cold. i'm young and restless and they want me to fold. i'm hard headed, I ain't never did shit I was told. I get too mad too fast over too much shit, but I put too much heart into the words I spit. maybe i'm too proud, maybe I scream too loud...but what goes in, must come out. and i'm hurting inside. I can't show it. obstructed by pride. I ain't being hard I just don't know why. fuck tomorrow if I live or I die. who comes first? you not before i. i'm still a ways off from my lofty goals, so fuck those who oppose and those who's acting like ho's. I ain't got time for ya'll. focus my goals. I chose. c'mon now, you just write ryhmes...i recite lifelines. you're in it for the long haul...i'm in it for a lifetime. let a brother try to come between me and mine. i'll lie cheat and steal to keep feeding mine. that's the deal and that's for real, by any means. am I wrong because I want the finer things in life? hell no. take this world by storm. all I ever wanted was a taste of. all I ever wanted was a piece of what I could not have.
