V1 (Aetcix)
Cant forget my whole life been shaped by strife i met and spent nights awake n
All fightin death, and all fighting yep
Nigh my death, wish the high caused death in her
Lightened up but i'm heavyset
The whole cycle left an i finally slept
Sigh the breath i held, ex hail stones to my psyche, try forget
Rhymin vet but cant find respect
Mates all left, snakes aint no friend of mine
I get hateful, time again, down so deep cant find my breath
Look in my eyes all stoned to death
Flash by on repeat like a strobe effect
Dope n meth, hope, regrets, but no hope left, got no one left
A no note death, broke brain and i know whats next
Angels n demons'll flex
This is my test, visibly peaking and keeping my cool simultaneous ex
Hale the negative, suck back the positive
Blowin flames roasting my foes my prerogative
Honesty, honestly jealousy get em eventually, get em as long as they follow me...
Hook
Slow I step, day after day, blood shot red, stuck in my ways, lost in my head, numb to the pain, half way dead, charcoal grey x2
V2
God and the devil, one in the same, all man made
no one to blame, but myself, jump in the flames, vivid this hell
people are lame though I wish them well, life is strange though I can’t really tell
what’s real or not, anymore it’s got so raw I drop to the floor and yell
time will tell, sink or swim, mortal shell
fell off that bridge when I burnt that shit, down to the ground now I’m crippled and sick
bend my brim coz I ain’t no kid, billy goat shit, grown man spit
billies I quit, years ago now I just have to let go of that joint and let rip
(rip, rip, rip)
click go the shears boy
(click, click, click)
sharpened my shit
joined up at the hip now me and aetcix get sicwidit like e-40 and the click I’m
tickled pink, glistening now I’m not missing in action, no passion, left fractured not listening
to my true self, not for wealth, I’m not pissing in pockets, I’m locked in, concoctions now simmering
Hook
Slow I step, day after day, blood shot red, stuck in my ways, lost in my head, numb to the pain, half way dead, charcoal grey x2
