I got ‘em thinking it was somethin’ that it wasn’t
Stars is cheap, they come a dime a dozen
Look up, get an eyeful, there’s a sky full
I make it crack like a shot from out a rifle x2
You need false hope to fuel ya fake dreams
I can only suggest one thing — go and get you a Bible
Take notes, notice fact is fiction
Turn ya back on the real, truth still tower like the Eiffel
Success is failure’s number one rival
Pain’s the only thing that can break this vicious cycle
You can’t cure this kind of sick with no NyQuil
Got ‘em out here producin’ salt water by the eyeful
This is real life… this my life, fool
You can ask my wife
I stab, shoot, and fight
Don’t believe in wrong or right
Only time I ever feel right
Is in the darkness of the night
My life’s path lit, illuminated by the moonlight
I keep my game too tight
[Verse 2]
Twice a week on that afternoon flight
I’m in the zone, I remember
When I had to beg to get a loan
Used to talk to myself and sit alone
A lost soul on the roam, wit no home
So close to death, a ghost
A soldier standin’ post, I remain afloat
Wit no hope, I struggle to cope
Constantly I’m takin’ mental notes
Never accept nothin’ short, I want the most
Fasho I ain’t the average Joe
Not ya regular type
More like the risin’ sun, I’m shootin’ stars
I’m out this world like the planet Mars
But you can call me Alcatraz
‘Cause I’m overflowin’ wit bars
I don’t do shit else but go hard
Got an old soul covered in scars
Came so far since I discovered the art
Power surge in my mouth, I spit sparks
Whip sick cars
Slide nothin’ but black or platinum cards
[Final Chorus – x2 again, maybe let the beat ride out on the second repeat]
You need false hope to fuel ya fake dreams
I can only suggest one thing — go and get you a Bible
Take notes, notice fact is fiction
Turn ya back on the real, truth still tower like the Eiffel
Success is failure’s number one rival
Pain’s the only thing that can break this vicious cycle
You can’t cure this kind of sick with no NyQuil
Got ‘em out here producin’ salt water by the eyeful
This is real life… this my life, fool
You can ask my wife…
I stab shoot and fight don't believe in wrong or right
wut I do believe is
only time I ever feel right
is in darkness of the night
my lifes paths lit
illuminated
by the moon lite
I keeps my game too tight
twice a week on that afternoon flight
I'm in the zone I remember
when I had to beg to get a lone
used to talk to myself and sit alone
a lost soul on the roam
wit no home
so close to death a ghost
a solider standin post
i remain afloat
wit no hope
I struggle to cope
constantly I'm taken mental notes
never except nuttin short
I want the most
fuhsho I ain't the average joe
not ya regular type
more like the rising sun I'm shootin stars
I'm out this world like the planet Mars
but you can call me Alcatraz
cuz I'm overflowing wit bars
I don't do shit else but go hard
got a old soul covered in scars came so far since I discovered the art
power surge in my mouth I spit sparks
