I've had my eye on you
I have been calling you
Come to me
Into this dream
(laugh)
Don’t you see?…
You can do whatever you want
We only live once…
Dance with me (whisper)
I want you to take me...
c’mon…
you have something I want (slightly aggressive)
do you understand me? (whisper)
I want you to give it to me (whisper)
Just lay back, close your eyes….
Just forget…
Forget...
Forget (whisper)
(Mic Crenshaw)
Born to struggle born to die, born to bleed
Born to hustle, born to thrive, born to succeed
what a person can endure, A warriors search for Joy
certainly can’t avoid what can hurt you and destroy you
Thirsty for your mercy, free me from what cursed me
these penalties, mentally and spiritually they burn me
Scar my interior, I harden my exterior
with each fix I feel inferior but I long to be superior
devoid of hope enjoy the dope destroy the focus trying to cope
something broke inside another dose, I’m sliding down the slope
you just want the euphoria to last but the ball and chain of all your pain is dragging you down fast
death is promised, let the economics do the math
choose illusion end up losing the most precious thing you have
NOPE, victory, overcome the misery this is what was meant to be uplifting life this gift to me
(Quincy Davis)
They say that life is just a dream been trying to play my role it’s like my life is just a scene cycles I repeat I’m caught up somewhere in between peasant in the King hustler in a Fien just wanna blaze away my pain up to the sky with razor lines to hide the hatred of the face that I disguise behind the brace and thetic lights illuminate my stage at night masqueraders seek in the dramas that coincide with the mantras, repeated and seeded into subconscious calling
demons and deceived by that nonsense
Unconscious of the toxins in the frequencies they serve in our product like the fetus in a matrix feet is dreamers narcotics addiction to the fantasies dancing through my mind laced with the shadows drowning me inside looking at my life carabiner web of lies I just wonder if I just want to find a way to escape I just want to fly
say that life is just a dream
been _tryin to play my role its like my life is just a scene
_cycles I repeat, I’m caught up somewhere in between..
_peasant and the king… _hustler and the fiend
(angry)
just wanna blaze away my pain up to the sky
wit razor _lines to hide the hatred of the face that I disguise
behind the _bright synthetic lights, illuminate my stage at night
_masqueraders seekin’ the dramas that coincide

Pop another pill, snort another line
drink another fifth shove my feelings deep inside
they can never see the light, all I’m left with is the darkness
Walking around with demons convincing me that they’re heartless
I’m just trying to figure out my life while looking at these memories
dreaming about the day I can be the person I used to be
but I can’t do that till I let the pain wash over me
death grip on the past and I can’t better set it free
Time heals wounds but also kills everything
What you doing with this time you got? please don’t die in vain
I ain’t asking you to change your world I’m only asking you to change
No one else can do it, you’re solo on the stage
You can play the part a victim, never take responsibility
Or rise above the ashes, be the person you were meant to be
the choice is yours, I can promise it ain’t easy
Addiction can be overcome, break the chains to set yourself free
