Through the Flames

[Refrain: Co$$] See my thoughts be so deranged, hey Weed lighter, feet on fire I be walkin' through the flame Got me runnin' from my pain More than a hundred miles a second Tryna make that great escape But some things no matter what, they never change While lookin' in the mirror I feel his shame Don’t recognize my face, who I became I be walkin' through the fire He told you life was easy He’s a liar, he’s a devil, he’s a saint No longer in my sleep and I’m awake [Verse 1:Co$$] 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 ain’t friendly Spent g’s 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, that’s 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 It’s my choice to make this life The greatest life or forsake my life But sometimes it’s 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 Co$$ [Refrain] [Verse 2:Blu] And I be doin' the same thing Rollin' a leaf up, prayin' up to the same Jane Like Mary Mary could you carry me a couple steps beyond this bliss I’ve been involved since the same days of, Kane Like we was meant to be gods You think this history’s for? Rewrite that history ours, it makes no sense to me They saying that we meant to be stars I’m a sun cause I shine like one, bangin' that crown like one Grim grin lent cents off that chinny chin chin Then again I shouldn’t have to pen a gem Blend it in, sittin' slim, with them pockets sittin' fat, wishin' that Manifest metaphysics, you give it and give it back Simple stats, add it up Count blessings, stack a buck Facts of life, almost had me flaggin' life and givin' up Boy Smoke said “You shittin'. You kiddin' me bruh?” My boy B said “You really must be kiddin' me bruh” The same folks that, I would give a kid-a-ney (kidney) for Climb a tree and find a dream, acknowledge life supreme, bruh [Verse 3:Co$$] And knowledge, I’m supreme being Lower self-esteem, dreamless When awake I can’t recall the scenes I’m blinded by the green Defined it by the theme Schemes written in the scriptures almost ripped me at the seams Seems I’ll never leave this place, I used to say Until I left, I used to swear I’ll 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 didn’t believe in God And now I count on faith to counter pain Countin' blessings, heaven’s with me through the flame I said I didn’t believe in God And now I count on faith to counter pain Countin' blessings, heaven’s with me through the flame And even though [Refrain]
