Album: Hearts of Hoodlums
(Chorus)
I try hard to do the right shit
but I'm stuck in da dark with no light switch
now I hold my suspended license
and I'm constantly goin through crisis
so maybe I could remain silent
but I ain't got no reason to hide it
and the only way I know to fight this
is to stay on the road of the righteous
(Verse 1)
Time's goin by, I'm gettin older but
I'm feeling like I'm still 19 and broke as fuck
in my early twenties, still ain't worth a penny
head full of weed smoke, surp, and henny
I spend my time gettin faded can't stop it
if I clean my act up there's no way you can stop me but
I still gotta feed the demons that inside my mind
stuck in da dark feeling like my eyes are blind
I try to cut the corners and it never worked
so I take it as a lesson but...(chorus)
(Verse 2)
I almost 30 years old...yet
I wake up every mornin in the cold...sweat
it use to be visions of my own...death
but now I'm seein secrets that my soul's...kept
but uh, dream deferred what scene do I prefer
when I'm sleepin next to you, I'm dreamin bout her
and now I sleep with her, it's you that I dream about
I can't decide which one of you I wanna be without
I'm a pisces I'm indecisive
stuck in da dark tryin to find this light switch
so self righteous myself I fight with
so I seem stuck in this cycle like this
if I could only see what lies ahead
then I might find sleep when I'm lyin in my bed...(chorus)
(Bridge)
Let's drown ourselves in empathy
cuz that's the way it has to be
I don't care what you've bled for me
I'd rather have my hennessy
so maybe I could remain silent...
