I heard em say that life is but a dream
But my reality ain't what it seem
Sometimes I feel I let life pass me by
Following dreams feel like them dreams lied
When I lay it down I no longer dream
And if I do I don't remember a thing
Is that a sign from a higher power
Is that the scent of a dead flower
Feel like my life's work has gone in vein
What will I do with the time that remains
Sometimes it's so hard for me to focus
You can relate if you've been feeling hopeless
Did my passion stray me away from you?
I know there nothing I would rather do
The kinda thoughts that penetrate my mind
If I told you I was good, I told you lie
Moments in time wish I could get back
You only live once, I pray you get that…
She crushed my soul when I really loved
See certain things and you I'm thinking of
Music is my biggest drug
Ever feel like somebody pulled plug?
Shit I know exactly what you mean
If you knew the things that I've really seen
The struggle is really the hardest
Why does pain make you a better artist
Piccasso the way the picture painted
A good soul in a world that’s really tainted
I pray I never have to pull the trigger
If it's you or me I'm choosin me nigga
It is what it is and will always be
I'm just giving you real, that's what you get from me
So if you payed a fee, you know what to expect
Everyday's a struggle, I pray I see the next
Who am I judge, knowin times hard
I could never judge, that is God's job
Heaven seem so far away
I'm just blessed to see another day
As I take take another sip of the liquor
Damn I wish you saw the bigger picture
