Lights Out

And it goes, and it goes, and it goes, and it goes, a little something like this (x4) Now when I first landed here, I didn't know where to go So i kept to myself and just let the rest flow And out came out the words that i leave on top of beats From the side of my house and out onto the streets But no one picked it up, and now it's down in the sewer Trying to find someone dope, someone fresher, someone newer To break my rules so you can say that it slaps But then again it's gone and I'm on just like that So I end it all, I need to cure the sickness I'm stuck between us and I don't know the difference It's scaring him, and why you pale in comparison And I'll leave you by yourself while you rap with embarrassment Yeah, and now you drown in the stress, while I come to take heads, break bread, and nothing less Life is hard, but I treat it with respect And knock the hypocrites ass, it's what you get If life is a bitch, then act like a dude and stop selling yourself just so you can get through This life is give or take, and it's better to be confident If you leave it all behind, then someone's taking all of it Only handful of heads will see it for what it is Cos the modern man is lonely and I'm sure they'll take his and keep it to themselves And when it falls from the sky, we'll all seem happy, but our smile is a disguise We're all connected, like another band of brothers With our arms in the air, we run like watercolors We all leave the same footprints, but we got different shoes We see the same problem in different point of views There's different kind of people, and different kinds of style Different kind of cries, and different kinds of smiles But there's one thing we all live the same way: Wake up, work, and sleep just to make it through the day But just go for yours, and while I'll go for mine They'll do the same, point fingers and commit crimes You ever wonder why we can't handle the truth? We're just so used to lies, it's something we can't do Despite this, and while they say life is priceless, I walk the path of the righteous, turn heads while I write this Too big to handle, no words can describe it They say words are cheap, but I still won't buy it And most people lack the skill to stay intact Sometimes when you go too far, you're never coming back You just gotta accept it, cos when you fall of your high horse, of course nature's gonna take its course Happiness is a path, it's not a destination And the truth is a lie, it's not an explanation And the bigger the lie, the worse the truth gets You made the burden so, now you gotta get it off the set And the longer that you keep it, the more pain that it brings Now it's much more complex than cutting up the strings that make the puppet move Cos at the end it's all tears cos respect is something people don't give around here But between me and you, I find it quite amusing the way they use their thoughts that they're fearfully abusing Now faith is lost, now we all depend on god to help us with out troubles when the lights turn off And it goes, and it goes, and it goes, and it goes, a little something like this (x4)
