(Verse 1) Everything for a reason And my to be's to see shit happen for a reason One event to the next It's like I'm stuck at the box office with every my clock tosses Into my face, smacked a case of fate wasted and lost causes I've been mocked and accosted, to the point that I got Though my flow's plugged enough to stop faucets I've thought often about tossing awesome gift to the wind And start over to sin with this intention to blend that I get from within I've protected my skin with a layer of pride and showmanship But my coats are ripped and I can't seem to decide on clothes that fit Supposing this rap shit actually pays off, I'm if it'll all be worth it Cause is what everyone in my life has ever been hurt with This curse, this urge I feel for verses Is one of my real perversions I seal my curtains when I write, I feel disturbance the light I deal with dirt and yet I want to heal the earth and peel the surface to reveal perfect And words I wield purpose, and yet nobody follows the plot They rather me rock off of the top There's pitfalls in my socks, so I walk caution halt 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 gon' turn the cheek (yeah) I hate the way you hurt me But I can't get enough of love
(Verse 2) And who the hell am I to be? A holy priest holding a rosary? Some type of stoic Moses of poetry? Should I be holding heat to pose for the A total phoney? If I said my name was 'Tony' 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 and breathe Loaded with my parents hopes and dreams, yet I don't if we both believe I scope the scene, and I'm these bills build up I'm nice with a day-job, these write all day and still suck And yet they fill clubs, sell a trillion and feel I kill dubs, but I don't have the mills to pay for pub My chilled love on occasion Cause brainwashed niggaz only my track if Clue or Flex will 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 searching for ways in, but entrances are sparse when hard to market Fuck art, cause thugs the smartest targets And I'm not abstract enough, so it seems are acting up And I thought it was the battle, just to have the love And a truckload of skills, politics are ill and yo, it's real It seems I'm cruising, and still using these crooked stones for wheels And you know the deal, it doesn't evoke the most appeal stolen Kosher Meals, lemme propose a toast to heal
(Chorus)
(Verse 3) I've so many facets of life, just to achieve this From & definitive reason, to trust in agreements My family suffered a when we discussed I was leaving Seeming substituted for tunnel vision and it probably crushed all feelings There's something in the corruption of demons Feeding me vehemently delusions of bucks from succeeding But up, months it's exceeded Peeling the scabs off of cuts that are knowing I had it as tough as Jesus This shit doesn't compete or touches what he did But, will I be signed by 33? Cause my teens fucking depleted Blessed a gift, equipped to assist in the destruction of heathens But, please, would god want me snuffing emcees, then? (Ha) I must be conceited, Well, I'm balanced out by the lack of I've felt since I've learned how to & write spelled relief when the rhyme schemes are tight Then I feel the weight of a life when 5, 000 people die (SOB! SOB!) bad for the rap artist? But pour your soul into for responses that's half-hearted relationships on the basis of past hardships And then you'll see why every review's like another line on my wrist This light-hearted voice becomes by the darkness It's impossible to trap my lips, I have to spit I try to swim away, but I keep dragged back in this Come to my arms automatically swimming backwards, Cause I'm a Masochist
(Outro 3X) If I gotta for the rest of my life I'm gon' turn the other cheek (yeah) Cause I the way you hurt me But I get enough of your love
