about

This song is probably my favorite on this mixtape mostly because it is the most personal to me. It has a very aggressive approach and talks about the changing going on in my life and the demons i face every day. IT wasn't meant to hurt feelings or make any one feel guilty, it was simply just some insight into how i feel.

lyrics

0:12
another kid voicein his struggles out,
follow in their footsteps, should i be taking another route,
denying everyone it's like im just trapped in a bubble now,
these hoes sleep with everyone, now they wonder what love's about,

tweeting about their drug addiction, depecting,
ah shit, this meth just took another victim,
and when they hand me the joint, im really slow to reject it,
they know deep down in my soul, that i'm really gonna regret it,

ah man, no i ain't preaching to jesus,
i stopped believin in him when my friends went into the deep end,
they trying to take me too, peer pressure's my only weakness,
why i stopped leaving the house, stayed by myself on the weekends,

im just tryina get my mind straight, cause i don't recognize them at all,
like i was just sent up into a blind date,
and i ain't proud of my past but it never haunts me
at one point all that i did, was everything that i wanted,

put down the mic for a second, but trust when i say i run it,
cause real is only a word and i promise you just far from it,
and i'll stay put to the test, cause like a rock i ain't budgin,
i'm hungry for competition i swear to god that i love it,

1:06
i swear to god that i love it,
yeah i swear to god that i love it,
yeah,
yeah.

i grew up with the white kids, hung around with the asians,
shouts to back in the day, to all the kids i was raised with,
all the kid's that i played with, everyone who befriended me,
funny cause nowadays they seem even more like my enemies,

fuck it i'll make amends with them, fuck it i'll still be friends with them,
used to knock at the door, now my demon's do and i let 'em in,
32 bars deep like i hang around in a prison cell,
in the car with a drunk, can't see shit cause all of their vision's swelled,

what the hell am i doing, i'm feelin' like fucking lucifer,
steal in front of my girl, i can't set all my demons loose for her,
i can't set all my demons loose for her,
put me against another emcee, and i swear they'll lose forsure,

started with raise the bar, now i'm raising it even farther,
and give me another month and i'm taking it even taller,
it's funny all of my church friends are hangin' round with my turnt friends,
smokin' weed right in front of me, taught me what i ain't learned yet,

everybodies a sinner, and everybody'll lie,
everybodies a fake, and fuck it i ain't surprised,
this incuding myself, imma hypocritical white kid,
who said he'd never smoke anything, turned around and then tried it,

but i quit it myself, to better set an example,
try to pass me the blunt, but my life's already a handful,
grab my life by the wheel and im tryina drive steady,
if something gets in my path i'll proceed with my eye's heavy,
