Lyrics:

Seconds turn to minutes my days are old im at my limit
This life that ive been living makes me question my existence
Been walking down the right path but every night I pass is no different than the last I’m giving in I’m giving in x2

The hourglass shines blurred lines surprise the mind I’m fine at times
When I wine and dine food for thought I’m losin sleep over confusing speak I wanna bruise the speakers
Abusive deliveries I’m given the men from the tip of the pen out for the dividends what’s your incentive
Pinch your skin I’m lynching my brethren over medicine I’m as dope as heroine but not as popular as that is in Maryland
unplugging the cord starting the war even though I’m that word backwards
I take another step another breath it seems I’m done there’s nothing left
Except a feeling in my chest that keeps me going like the beat of my heart I’m speaking in parts hysteria
Chilling in urban areas Americas corruption makes the fucked up function what’s this world that I’ve been dumped in
I’m bobbing for apples hoping to be freed from these shackles but it’s such a hassle
I stayed chained by the ankle and pray that I stay thankful until the noose strangles me dead
Look at the animals on my mantle it’s such a handful to be upset
When my two cents earns me a penny I will be ready eyes still heavy from the lack of sleep
I’m keeping track of all the sheep I’ve gotten to a thousand but that’s right, I’m still countin its astoundin
I wonder when this world will come crashing down and
I guess it’s up to me to be whatever It is i want to be
I count in threes to make the time pass reality’s in your grasp
If it’s the questions you ask it’s the answers you will be receiving
The clocks deceiving I watch its grimy hand as its reaching
Towards the eight erase the days I know we’re just naked apes with racist ways chasin papes
The truth cuts like razorblades and I can’t ignore it
 god is snoring above the people
I heard that shit at the steeple a place breeding evil
Religions just another sequel another reason to get into a war another reason to draw our swords
We want more than we ever knew we bite off more than we can chew
I grab my throat I slit it to pour into what I’ve written I think I’m given in I think I’m given in

It’s easy to say money doesn’t matter when you don’t pay the bills
Like it’s easy to ignore the blood splatter when you don’t see the kill
I’d rather sleep all day then get up in the morning
I’d rather skip school cause that stuff is boring
I’d rather smoke a joint then deal with cancer
I’d rather not take a test then try to find the answer
I’d rather be rich than get rich
I’d rather see shit then eat shit
It’s better to do it natural than it is to take shortcuts
That’s easy say because sentences are short enough
It’s easier to say what you feel
Than feel what you say
It’s easier to be a coward than it is to save the day
It’s easier to hit it raw than it is to put on a jimmy hat
Like it’s easier to tell lies than it is to spit the facts
It’s easier to come down than it is to get high
Just kidding that was a lie I fake a smile just cause I don’t want to frown
This life’s not simple and it is hard to define but I’ll keep doing me and taking it
One day at a time

Seconds turn to minutes my days are old I’m at my limit
This life that I’ve been living makes me question my existence
Been walking down the right path but every night I pass is no different than the last I’m giving in I’m giving in
