[Refrain: Co25292]
See my thoughts be so deranged, hey
Weed lighter, feet on fire
I be walkin' through the flame
Got me runnin' from my pain
More than a hundred miles a second
Tryna make that great escape
But some things no matter what, they never change
While lookin' in the mirror I feel his shame
Donât recognize my face, who I became
I be walkin' through the fire
He told you life was easy
Heâs a liar, heâs a devil, heâs a saint
No longer in my sleep and Iâm awake
[Verse 1:Co25292]
It go 1-9, 8-4, 80 baby, April
Gates opened up to let a tainted saint become the mold
For a iller emcee, need to feel the empty
Been walkin' these streets where the peeps ainât friendly
Spent gâs to buy my freedom a million years been lost on earth
They never err, but now my words is touchin' like a zillion ears
I used to get high in high school
Sniffin' coke, even thoughts of doin' H
Smokin' water, lost my dad, thatâs the point I lost my way
Cross my path, bluest flag
Cheerleading for heathens, but the blue is sad
Greyest sky, hovered above my faithless life
Itâs my choice to make this life
The greatest life or forsake my life
But sometimes itâs so hard
Just to say goodbye to habits
You know my obsession with affection and
My addiction to friction and the static
Happy never had it, had it hard
Drivin' demons not Ms. Daisy through the fog
Be the ones that drove me crazy, but made me Co25292
[Refrain]
[Verse 2:Blu]
And I be doin' the same thing
Rollin' a leaf up, prayin' up to the same Jane
Like Mary Mary could you carry me a couple steps beyond this bliss
Iâve been involved since the same days of, Kane
Like we was meant to be gods
You think this historyâs for?
Rewrite that history ours, it makes no sense to me
They saying that we meant to be stars
Iâm a sun cause I shine like one, bangin' that crown like one
Grim grin lent cents off that chinny chin chin
Then again I shouldnât have to pen a gem
Blend it in, sittin' slim, with them pockets sittin' fat, wishin' that
Manifest metaphysics, you give it and give it back
Simple stats, add it up
Count blessings, stack a buck
Facts of life, almost had me flaggin' life and givin' up
Boy Smoke said âYou shittin'. You kiddin' me bruh?â
My boy B said âYou really must be kiddin' me bruhâ
The same folks that, I would give a kid-a-ney (kidney) for
Climb a tree and find a dream, acknowledge life supreme, bruh
[Verse 3:Co25292]
And knowledge, Iâm supreme being
Lower self-esteem, dreamless
When awake I canât recall the scenes
Iâm blinded by the green
Defined it by the theme
Schemes written in the scriptures almost ripped me at the seams
Seems Iâll never leave this place, I used to say
Until I left, I used to swear Iâll never fall again
Until I leapt from highest heights
And I teach my seed that he can fly as high
And be the king and make reality his dream
When I used to never think
And now I contemplate, I used to close my eyes
And now I never blink I said I didnât believe in God
And now I count on faith to counter pain
Countin' blessings, heavenâs with me through the flame
I said I didnât believe in God
And now I count on faith to counter pain
Countin' blessings, heavenâs with me through the flame
And even though
