Intro:
I remember i was in the dope game, i was trying to get sober again. and it was like mother’s day. i wanted to give my mother a mother’s day balloon and a card. and i was driving and i had all intention to go see her, you know, and give her this but like my car was possessed, man. i just turned, i drove to the dope house. and, i remember sitting there guilty, just thinking about that fuckin’ balloon, sitting in my car
Verse 1:
Yo, they say sleep is the cousin of death
It’s hard to sleep when your cousin’s on meth
And he tried to warn me too but now you’re playin’ russian roulette
Until you dusted and combusted like it’s fuckin’ tourette
Nothin’ but stress, i’m sober now but buttons get pressed
Meeting girls at shows and almost catch a buzz off their breath
Like fuck i’m a mess, remember that my truth is simple
I used to always be on meth just like the wu-tang symbol
So what? elite spitter [?] into a tweed sniffer
Eat strippers, [?]and stuff her in a tree chipper
Creep with her, momma almost brought a priest
Sniffed enough tweak to make denise richards look like keith richards
Speech blizzard spitting nails in a cypher
Then the crystal had me frail like christian bale in the fighter
The machine is [?]
So ungrateful i am but i can lose it all if i’m not a responsible man
Yo, check it
Chorus:
We’ve all failed like an old horse
Just trying to find a place to die
Anyone that we come across
All they want to do is take a ride
Verse 2:
Yo, people like why you always talk about dope?
We get homey, why don’t you talk about hope?
You don’t get it ‘cause i do this for reminding myself or where i came from
And in turn if i could help someone else, then i’m doing my obligated job
Rather than yappin’
I love the comedy, the sex, the violence and rappin’
But at the end of the day, i gotta be accountable
‘cause i received a second chance and now the person i’ve amounted to is
Someone i’m proud of out of all the sufferin’ and
Now the crowd is louder than it’s ever been
And it’s the passion that i balance all day
The worst part was always watchin’ all my passion decay
‘cause this is a wonderful feeling when i’ll be out of this show
And someone walks away from the crew and up to me ‘yo!
‘like how’d you get out of hell, please?’ my story i tell
But i can lose it all again if i’m not true to myself
Yo, check it
Chorus:
We’ve all failed like an old horse
Just trying to find a place to die
Anyone that we come across
All they want to do is take a ride
Verse 3:
In 2010 i saw the movie the town, go hard
An underground rapper named slain was a co-star
Three years later he liked me music we chatted and now i’m freestylin’ with him on a tour bus to canada
At 16, i watched the show oz with lee tergesen
Blessed to be in film, became friends after i work with him
My arm used to always scream ‘wrap me in the belt!’
Now i’m sober, just got home from tour with apathy and celph
I knew all the lyrics to bone, thugs songs, you guessed it
Years later on a tour with him through texas
And it’s nice to be on my bunker just thinking about life
Thinking god, my grandpa taught me how to creatively write
Now i not only can use it as inspiration and hope
But people that i have respected now can see that i’m dope
That may not mean a lot you, but it means a lot to me
And if i wasn’t sober, i had lost all of my opportunities
Check it
Chorus:
We’ve all failed like an old horse
Just trying to find a place to die
Anyone that we come across
All they want to do is take a ride
