[ Featuring Phly Ivory ]
Why do we die from the things we seek for help
Heaven on Earth gets you a front row seat in hell
At least that's how it feels, smoke killing me, but still
I feel it heals, helps me deal when it's getting real
My dreams are far pitched, a little out of range
But who are you to say what I can and cannot chase
Would love to stay the same but inevitable is change
Puffin on somethin' to think in positive ways
Keep my spirits high, try to even out the lows
Take it day by day, we'll see how this shit goes
Even though I know it's a whole lot bigger than that
I be killing this shit, put my heart in these raps
All these bars that we spit tryna get our names on the map
Knowing the game growing, how slim is our chance
Just thankful for living, waking up from this nap
Tomorrow ain't given, take the good with the bad
And when I'm down in a rut
Put some more in my cup
And if I could stand up
You ain't pouring enough
Me and Mary Jane always getting blazed
Vision always clearer when eyes are hazed
Raise a glass towards better days
That's what tomorrow's for anyways, any haze
This music shit soothing, it's numbing the pain
It's light in dark space, oxygen through my veins
Thinking where I'd be without it
Boxed in or insane
Like a locksmith, I got this key to the game
I'll leave the faith behind, at least the back of my mind
All I want is recognition there's no slack in my rhymes
I spit shit that flys like a back up of time
I'll rip shit till I die sifting some from the sky
There's no wondering I could see truth through the lies
I'm trying to hang loose while I'm hanging on to my ties
I'm down in a rut, head up but f*cking stuck
Lost another good man, thought he had to chance his luck
Don't worry, I got your back like uncle buck
In this jungle that we live in, not enough give a f*ck
But your friends and family do, so keep it true
And place no one else above you
No one else above you
And when I'm down in a rut
Put some more in my cup
And if I could stand up
You ain't pouring enough
Me and Mary Jane always getting blazed
Vision always clearer when eyes are hazed
Raise a glass towards better days
That's what tomorrow's for anyways, any haze
