[Intro]
Everyone needs an outlet n this is mine
[Verse]
Lyrics are my meditation n medication
So I hopped up on that train before it left the station
My destinations unknown but not my motivation
My Mind traveling dark roads to find salvation
contemplations got me lost in a maze of questions
N I know it's been awhile since my last confession
So I'm on my knees praying for a fucking blessing
From the rap gods as I try to battle this depression
Redemptions on my mind as I walk that fine line
In between the spirit world and the one I left behind
They say it's in your mind, they say it isn't real
But no one else knows the agonizing pain I feel
Got to provide for my family that's the fucking deal
But in spite of all the work I still can't pay the fucking bills
I know my shit can kill when I put that pen to paper
But fucking stage fright ain't never done me any favors
[Chorus]
I'm tired of trying ,I wish that I was lying but the grinds got me beat up, it's feeling like I'm dying
Trying to swim and keep my head above the water
Trying to earn a dollar but all I see is a quarter
I'm tired of trying ,I wish that I was lying but the grinds got me beat up, it's feeling like I'm dying
Trying to be who my family sees But the more I try I still cant see the forest through the trees!
[Verse]
How do you combat a past full of trauma
That you can't get past
When every bone in your body says that you won't last
I get asked ,why you hide behind that dark ass mask
Well If you understood the struggle then you wouldn't of asked
I'm completely gassed out by the end of the day
And all I get in return is a fourth of my pay
They say that money is the root of all evil
Well being broke sucks too so shit I'm
Knievel
Stunt jumping n heart pumping my minds running
At a pace u wouldn't believe cuz its mind numbing
An over thinker in every sense of the word
Take a peek inside of my mind you’ll see it’s all blurred
I've made a lot of mistakes n fell at every turn
But every single time was another lesson learned
So in return I'm just looking for some good karma
Trying raise my bank account numbers like it's big Pharma’s
[Final Chorus]
Im tired of trying ,i wish that was lying but the grinds got me beat up , it’s feeling like i’m dying
Trying to swim and keep my head above the water
Trying to earn a dollar but all I see is a quarter
I’m tired of trying ,I wish that I was lying but the grinds got me beat up, it’s feeling like im dying
Trying to be who my family sees but the more I try I still can’t see my fucking destiny!
[Outro]
I’m tired of trying ,I wish that I was lying but the grinds got me beat up, it feeling like I’m dying
Trying to be who my family sees but the more I try I still can’t see the forest through the trees.
I’m tired of trying!!!
