Who's to for the state I'm in I play my cards but somehow I win
1] Listen when life leaves you up Don't lay around in it, pick them pieces up Cling to the people you love they're umbrella when the weathers tough See to it your head is up If not remember this just never let your chest and your chin in public Those that stand against us would this Man fuck them, something's em' they feel inadequate or something and been dug in em' So deep they can't stand someone else shit Player hatred, same created Satan Play em, no never let em play their part here to make us prove we are what we say we are We say we are the hard been discarded from everything ever been part of just robbed it Unguarded, tormented and and got but scars and grey hairs to show for it Fuck that, every stone that's ever been cast or blow that ever to build that man that's standing before your bitch ass and back to wreak havoc and retired, retreated or recanted I, don't you to have stood where I'm standing Why, repsect is the only thing I'm Try, you and I could this understanding You honestly shake unless you know where my hand's been brother
This is a piece of my now Through the I found peace in my struggle now If we were put here to a great weight The very things we hate are to build those muscles This is a piece of my now Through the I found peace in my struggle now (Who'se to blame for the state I'm in - truly I play my but somehow I can't win)
2] Listen I was taught that mistakes made with intentions were sins but where life lessons begin Now that I'm 27, father starting over yet again I am who I to forgive Lost my mumma to cancer, a 10 year chapter shortly after Can't deny was some shit Alone in this life would've been at my throat with a chop it not for my passion to live Follow my soul, not that I don't the penalty But that's the that I pass to my kids Heard of shining in the heat of the and won my the moment I realised that's what this...
[Bridge] I can't believe my eyes I know what I'm seeing I done watched them smash into little pieces I've been building I can't believe my ears I don't what I'm hearing I heard they into little pieces everything I've been building
to blame for the state I'm in I play my cards but I can't win
