On The One Hand

[Verse 1: Solo] Destination unknown, headphones, wander on in my zone Like the light's on but nobody's home, I'm all alone See some days I can't explain this pain in my soul Or the feeling there's no place I can go Cos everywhere I'm met with hearts that's so cold and stares so vacant Lonely souls fixated on bringing home the bacon Got the folks in my city all road raging Stressed cutting each other off and overtaking Tryna' get ahead of the next man, afraid we'll never make it Afraid of what we don't have But I'mma break free of that program And live or die by my own hand So on the one I count my problems, the other count my blessings And despite moments of second guessing I stay repping for my fam and my section Mic checking with some living legends, so check it [Hook] I got somewhere to sleep and I got love and When I see somebody with nothing It makes me count all of my problems on one hand It makes me count all of my problems on one hand I got shelter, plenty to eat and When I see a fella in need it Makes me wanna count all my problems on one hand Count all my problems on one hand [Verse 2: Grieves] I hit the ground running with the devil to my back Seen enough blood in the first part of my life to last me I put a wall around my misery Past it I don't wanna be the one that dies trying to grasp it Hope Thought to be a sunken old boat used to throw stones at it from the shore Makin' jokes I guess I wasn't really ready for the sunshine Took a hard hit to have me grindin' on the front line Every single little twist I'm proud of Probably wouldn't be the same without em' Turned a dead bird into a dragon Living like I never would imagine Breaking through the lane Countin' up my blessings like change Needle on the wax stead of sticking out my veins Learned to build a lighthouse out of pain Guiding in the ships from the rain [Hook] [Verse 3: Suffa] You could have ninety-nine problems like the best alive But when I line up my problems I got less then five I'm blessed and I gotta stress that I recognise that "Wherever you are, wherever you're at" Because my day job's spitting raps, paid for flipping tracks When I consider that, man I consider giving back Cause I could be aloof about this and that But I got a roof over my head like a fitted cap, now isn't that Something else man? Nothing else is better than Being settled, it's like heaven man And of course you can act like you've got a lot of problems But you can never act like you ain't got a lot of options And this ain't for those who've had a lot of loss Or had a lot of obstacles, or had a lotta' knocks It's for those on their Twitter like FML That makes me giggle like SNL, you're kidding right? [Hook]
