I was thinking about my life, and thought How Much I was Grinding for the wrong reasons, and something had to change. I Rather Die Real Then Keep Living In Vain
lyrics
Hook
There is nowhere, I can be safe
From the Cradle 2, the Grave, I’m a Maintain
I’m a keep it moving, I know It sounds Insane
I rather die real, then keep living In vain
Verse 1
1 Simi,lar con,vo, on point, like ron,do
2 Figured out which way to go, so never, mind those
3 Aggravated, moments, I did it, so I owned it
4 Some liked it, so they cloned it, out here, so I’m roaming
5 The streets,
Compliments of the struggle
6 Thank yous from the hustle, Goodbyes from the trouble
7 It’s on me,
8 What was I thinking, (I’m running) 2x I’m running
I’m On E, uh
9 Empty of myself, do I know me well,
10 (Pause) Came out alive, out this living hell
11 Some said it can’t be done, and what if I fail,
12 No matter what, I’m dying, as an, empty shell
13 No regrets, I Maintain,
14 No love lost for the ones who caused pain
15 I was born dead in sin, since my birthday
16 I’m ready to die, but the world, can’t take me
Verse 2
1 My life is not my own, we live for other people
2 realization of this truth, is something lethal
3 ask yourself why you live, is it something selfish
4 We embellish our lives to disguise the pride
5 Not pointing fingers, at, anyone but me
6 But I believe we share in a dream we can’t see
7 Not a rapper or an artist, I’m a voice, in the wilderness
8 I die daily, So you can say I lost my will to live
9 I can’t just exist, I refuse to believe the norm
10 I’ll find myself in the midst of the perfect storm
11 Before I’m gone, or maybe, it’s when I die
Sing Rap
12 one way or another I’ll deny all of these lies
13 and all of my ties, to a crooked system
14 that creates victims from a perverse, jurisdiction
15 There is no where I can be safe
16 from the cradle to the grave, I’m a maintain

streets, he learned Life is not always what it seems. God grabbed a hold of him in the last months of 2005 and he hasn't been the same since. He learned through his transformation One Must die to live. Out Of Death Comes Life. DeathByDesign...more
