Living in hell but searching for paradise
Doing my best to not fed on by the parasites
It ain't nothing fair in life
Watching for the snakes they eyes all on me like a pair of dice
Smoke cloud thick as fog
But still doesn't impair my sight
I fear I'm right
And when it all falls down
You just might lose everything that was once found
You calling this profound
I'm calling it how it sounds
You get caught in the tides a swimmer but still drowned
This is a nigga's word
Better live and learn
Let some bridges burn
I ain't losing no sleep
The world spin and turns
The love changes
And best friends become strangers
Joy turns into sorrow
And pain turns into anger
Something small becomes major
Ain't something new
Niggas get too comfortable
How they move when it comes to you
Will show you how they f*ck w you
Answers might not be there when you ask
But they punctual
Feet in the mud
The deeper the cut
The easier it is to break it off like a piece of the bud
Providing the bigger picture you just ain't seeing enough
If we keeping the trust
No point in keeping in touch
But things change like the date or the days
Ain't too grown to get back on the ghetto games that I played
The footprints wash away w the waves
And there's barely any evidence of the things that we made
Why do we build a castle of sand,
When we know very well that it'll never stand?
Why do we build a castle of sand,
When we know very well that it'll never stand?
The beauty and ugly of the world that he saw
In pain but he walk like he ain't hurting at all
Feeling like it's me versus them all
Keep it civil cuz I could really carry things worse than y'all
No cut cards like diamonds and hearts
I tried from the start
I'm tired. I fought
Too hard for this shit to be falling apart
Either you riding w me or you traffic
Your man switched
Did back flips
Now that's some sad shit
Still stand 10 toes. This is the way
Follow my lead if I tell a nigga this the play
Don't take my heart and just give it away
It's like you stabbed me in the back just to spit in my face
It's the scars that you can't see that hurt the most
They play down at least until the real person shows
Life is a journey ain't no such thing as the perfect road
Shit ain't all sunshine & roses once the curtains close
Dead in the water
I guess the path is harder
For the stronger
But the longer w these problems just causes more trauma
Shit I'm just being honest
I really gave a f*ck or I would've never bothered
But things change like the air or the wind
Who you are won't long stay buried within
I take a look back to where we begin
Guess that means that all things will inherently end
Why do we build a castle of sand,
When we know very well that it'll never stand?
