haven't written anything in a while.... threw this one down for fun. more rap influenced, whatever.
there are times when i think i've moved beyond the past
i forfeit my conscience every time that i relapse
i pop pills and chase black my mind trips i fade back
the youth we've been used to has grown up to blow stacks
hand me the broad axe i chop em like i burn hash
hot knives we roll flat got more bass than low pass
and now i'm back
sometimes i worry i'm not cut out for this shit
straight-edged white collar motherfuckers say "i earned this shit"
big names run their mouths like they never even asked for it
and i could care less but did they really work for it?
i'm passed all this
but we're stuck on the mystery
of why coked up fiends get to live life lavishly
teenage kids on the streets pushing speed
and still no retirement for the elderly
sometimes i don't know why i feel this way
cause kids these days make misery a commonplace
self-medicated by demand they supply
we'll be drowned in styrofoam till the day that we die
some stay in highschool and others make it out
it's like they've lost a piece of them the day they settle down
i find it hard to understand
so i speak from the comfort of a sudden sleight of hand
i speak for the voiceless, i speak for the condemned
i speak for the hopeless and i speak for you and them
cause wisdom ain't age it's the other way around
and it won't get you lifted it'll keep you on the ground
