(Verse 1) Everything for a reason And my reason to be's to see happen for a reason One event to the next It's like I'm stuck at the box office with every my clock tosses my face, smacked with a case of fate wasted and lost causes I've been mocked and accosted, to the that I got nauseous Though my flow's been plugged to stop faucets I've thought often about tossing this awesome gift to the And start crossing over to sin with this intention to blend that I get from protected my skin with a thin layer of pride and showmanship But both my coats are ripped and I can't to decide on clothes that fit this rap shit actually pays off, I'm wondering if it'll all be worth it Cause this is what everyone in my life has ever hurt with This curse, this evil urge I for verses Is one of my real perversions I seal my curtains I write, I feel disturbance from the light I deal with dirt and yet I want to heal the earth and peel the surface to it's perfect And words I with purpose, and yet nobody follows the plot They hear me rock off of the top There's pitfalls in my socks, so I with caution halt the auction! Cause my soul's on sale, and I thought I lost it
(Chorus 2X) If I gotta for the rest of my life I'm gon' turn the other cheek (yeah) Cause I hate the way you me But I can't get enough of your
(Verse 2) And who the am I supposed to be? A holy priest holding a rosary? Some type of bold stoic Moses of I be holding heat to pose for the streets A total If I said my name was 'Tony' would you know it's me? Supposedly, T-O-N-E flow with ease these bolder beats But the flow's too cheap to pay for And in the throws of grief I choke and with my parents hopes and dreams, yet I don't know if we both believe I scope the scene, and I'm watching bills build up I'm nice with a day-job, these niggaz write all day and still And yet they clubs, sell a trillion and feel sluts I kill dubs, but I don't have the mills to pay for pub My love melts on occasion Cause brainwashed niggaz only feelin' my track if Clue or Flex play it Who you expect to say this if I don't? What? Cause I don't wanna be extorted by some cat who lets cash determine his I'm for ways in, but entrances are sparse when you're hard to market Fuck art, cause thugs aren't the smartest And I'm not abstract enough, so it seems are acting up And I it was half the battle, just to have the love And pack a truckload of skills, politics are ill and yo, it's It seems I'm cruising, and still using these crooked stones for wheels And when you know the deal, it doesn't evoke the appeal Like stolen Kosher Meals, lemme a toast to heal
(Chorus)
(Verse 3) I've so many facets of life, just to achieve this Love & definitive reason, to trust in agreements My family suffered a grievance when we discussed I was Seeming substituted for tunnel vision and it crushed all their feelings something appeasing in the corruption of demons Feeding me vehemently lustful delusions of bucks from But up, months it's exceeded Peeling the scabs off of cuts are bleeding I ain't had it as tough as Jesus This shit doesn't compete or even touches he did But, will I be signed by 33? Cause my teens fucking depleted Blessed with a gift, equipped to assist in the destruction of But, please, would god really want me snuffing emcees, (Ha) I be conceited, right? Well, I'm balanced out by the of self-esteem I've since I've learned how to read & write Overcompensation spelled relief the rhyme schemes are tight Then I feel the weight of a cheapened life when 5, 000 die (SOB! SOB!) Feel bad for the rap But pour your soul into for responses that's half-hearted Terminate relationships on the of past hardships And then you'll see why every like another line on my scarred wrist light-hearted voice becomes jailed by the darkness It's impossible to my lips, when I have to spit I try to swim away, but I keep getting back in this Come to find my arms automatically backwards, Cause I'm a Masochist
(Outro 3X) If I gotta for the rest of my life Then I'm gon' turn the cheek (yeah) Cause I the way you hurt me But I can't get enough of love
