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