Eating Me Alive

Eating Me Alive by Iniquity Rhymes feat. Cryptic Wisdom [Hook: Cryptic Wisdom] Sometimes this life is not What you expect it to be (Not at all) You gotta play your cards right (Play your cards right) If you're to earn the life you need (Earn the life you need) I Thought I had it figured all out (All out) So went ahead and let it all out (All out) But what I know is that it's my doubt eating me alive (It's eating me alive) [First Verse: Iniquity Rhymes] Everyday I pave the ground extending roads Where I'm going remains uncertain, renowned but no abode Music's my saviour, my nature, found ways to level with those in need No show of greed, but if I don't open up I'll explode I'm full of these doubts, even now, there's no way you'll rob me of my flame But that won't stop my mind from clouding, I'm afraid to switch up lanes It's like I'm stuck in cruise control and everyone's tryna get past me While I'm too stubborn in my ways “Screw it, they can drive around me” I think my problem is I've become too comfortable Unlike a bull I lose my drive, hit rock bottom, I have to pull Myself back out of this hole, hopeless though, important you know That I'm the only human but you hand me the rope, I'm not alone (I'm not alone!) Life likes to throw us these curve balls, that's not what I want I want control, I'm at the top looking down on myself hoping I don't flop It's happened a lot, I lose myself and forget that I'm here to lead, yeah Your ears lend me support, believe that's all I need And so I think... [Hook: Cryptic Wisdom] Sometimes this life is not What you expect it to be (Not at all) You gotta play your cards right (Play your cards right) If you're to earn the life you need (Earn the life you need) I Thought I had it figured all out (All out) So went ahead and let it all out (All out) But what I know is that it's my doubt eating me alive (It's eating me alive) [Second Verse: Iniquity Rhymes] That after all I put in I still don't have all that I want That sinful manner have caused this battle, coup d'etat Of mindful matter, these daggers of sorrow rip through all I've got I spend all these sleepless nights but give up? Hell no I shall not Wishing more would come is just a weakness, how Have I overcome in the past? Well you help me beat 'em down I mean my fears, you give me power to save myself from drowning How the sound unwinds me keeps me grounded, a soldier is inbound They seem to do well with their gimmicky raps But I bring true music that speaks to the heart, the lyrics they lack I focus on my message, the essence, you've given me that Surround myself with friends not those who just feed of digits, relax A wicked relapse somehow turns receptive vision to crap No pivoting back, but I won't give in, got no business with that I sit in this trap constantly plotting my vicious attacks Refuse to join the rotting, join my mission, musician has snapped So c'mon! [Hook: Cryptic Wisdom] Sometimes this life is not What you expect it to be (Not at all) You gotta play your cards right (Play your cards right) If you're to earn the life you need (Earn the life you need) I Thought I had it figured all out (All out) So went ahead and let it all out (All out) But what I know is that it's my doubt eating me alive (It's eating me alive) [Third Verse: Iniquity Rhymes] It's eating me alive to think after all that's happened... Recall my passion, my past let's recap it, balance was absent I was captive, found out rappin' provided something I haven't Felt, abided to rules of attraction and rose from the ashes After all that I still lost control and self esteem Man I feel like homing devices converged on my soul just to feed Fears are dethroning me, exposing grief, opposing teams Composing schemes to overthrow my deeds I reap what I sow, that's what I deem So what happens when I sow negativity and doubt myself? Gotta intervene and shout my wealth cause I'm rich with dreams that sprout and hell Better bring some meaner bouts I'll yell Til I seem serene, surmount my hill We're the kings and queens our routes fulfil when we take that leap and pounce It all seems simple when you see from outside the box I AM LEGEND, it's time to kindle your speaker got the game on lock The world is UP IN FLAMES and I will NEVER be FORGOTTEN now So WELCOME me HOME cause I'm here to claim my crown [Hook: Cryptic Wisdom] Sometimes this life is not What you expect it to be (Not at all) You gotta play your cards right (Play your cards right) If you're to earn the life you need (Earn the life you need) I Thought I had it figured all out (All out) So went ahead and let it all out (All out) But what I know is that it's my doubt eating me alive (It's eating me alive) [Outro: Iniquity Rhymes] It's eating me alive! It's eating me alive! It's eating me, it's eating me alive!
