If Luck Was A Lady

They say that if it bleeds it's alive, and God created all of us But right now at this point in time, I'm feeling discarded As the sun hits the shades, and tiger strikes my nightmares I'm finding all the feelings I've been searching for, are right Here In the moment, look into my soul Break that boundary that's empounding me to forfeit what I hold, and move past it I keep my dreams wrapped in plastic Retrack my past steps to catch it with my last breath So, who wants to know what it's like To feel the things I touch and wipe the blood off of my life Cause it's all broken bones here, open wounds that don't heal Chokin' on my own fears, drowning in my own tears Human; and that's the way that I remain Fuck fighting my beliefs and limiting what I should say Fuck standing with my arms out, hoping I'll be saved And fuck screaming at myself tying to make it through the day I write life down, and it's coherent when I speak Raise the hairs up off the back and the neck like a static cling, go I said if luck was a lady, she'd never let me buy that drink The tongue slipping in my eyes won't blink, and if your God was a woman, her boyfriend would beat her kids Now I got more scars than teenagers' wrists, and if the Time was my father, he'd missed all of my birthdays Drinking with his friends and now it's hurting in the worst way And, I can say it just the way that I know They say the pain sticks with you, I'm training to let it go So, hold onto this one, and save it for your bad days Open up that passion in my words to make the glass break And, I don't know if my written words can affect you But listen to my heart and every single breath I stress through Come on! This is not a note to hip hop All I'm trying to do is make that quiver on my lip stop And, chase out the bad scent Purpose thinks he's got me figured toward science now and I ain't even ass-checked Tell, meet the treading water champion The other side of happiness, the most that y'all are standing in Raise up, and try to capture the trust Cause I move with all my passions and extract what I must And I move with all my people and I act when I must To take a con-honored stab at them, peeling the rust Now despite all of my efforts, I'll always play the low Now, if something in this catches you, you best to let it show I said if luck was a lady, she'd never let me buy that drink The tongue slipping in my eyes won't blink, and if your God was a woman, her boyfriend would beat her kids Now I got more scars than teenagers' wrists, and if the Time was my father, he'd missed all of my birthdays Drinking with his friends and now it's hurting in the worst way And, I can say it just the way that I know They say the pain sticks with you, I'm training to let it go
