I know they wanna take my life
Time goes better make it right
Life goes and you pay the price
Pride shows then you say goodnight
I know they wanna take my life
Time goes better make it right
Life goes and you pay the price
Pride shows then you say goodnight
I feel like I can't think plus this world that i'm in
I'm concerned cause I sin then I see a light dim
A little glimmer of hope , a person jotting a note
A simple man walking by then he lies with his rope
He's hiding what he feels cause he's addicted to some pills
Can't look in the mirror without getting all these chills
He wants to know the deal but he rather rob and steal
Then say he f*cked up cause that would just reveal
That he has to own up but hasn't grown up
He's a man with a fam but was handed no luck
Constantly stuck in the realm of feeling overwhelmed
He has dreams of being big but won't work on himself
Nah, its to hard and he's better then that
Got excuses for days he's accepted the trap
But if we press'em with with facts
He's stepping right back
He avoids everything besides whats setting him back
I know they wanna take my life
Time goes better make it right
Life goes and you pay the price
Pride shows then you say goodnight
I know they wanna take my life
Time goes better make it right
Life goes and you pay the price
Pride shows then you say goodnight
I've tried talking he's lost it , i honestly feel exhausted
I had to cut him off , it's not what I wanted
I wanted options hoping he will stop it
But now his minds gone this song is just my conscience
I sit and reminisce while looking at this disc
It makes me shed a tear cause its covered with what ifs
Now i'm just here with the memories that I have
Always pressing forward cause looking back is sad
Nothing guilty on my mind just sometimes I miss the past
These pictures on my wall will follow till I'm ash
But as I write this draft i get chills up my spine
It's probably father time tossing out a sign
Or maybe its my mind saying that its time
For me to change my ways and start thinking how to climb
Cause i'm feeling in my prime before i was confined
I guess i'll let go and and place it with a vine
I know they wanna take my life
Time goes better make it right
Life goes and you pay the price
Pride shows then you say goodnight
I know they wanna take my life
Time goes better make it right
Life goes and you pay the price
Pride shows then you say goodnight
