lyrics
how many prescriptions can fit up in this system
tryin’ to find a balance in between enlightenment and madness
the tragedy is beautiful
what would jesus do if he was stuck up in this cubicle
the animal in me is getting anxious
gotta make a change soon
make a list of “thank you’s”
for when i’m on the television
runnin’ through the bank you
better believe i’m leavin’ with a couple g’s
doin’ this for steady b
and every nigga that ever figured they didn’t have a choice
a collective yell so i’m collectin’ from all the tellers
i’m tellin them they better not be pushin any buttons
i’m passed the point of reasoning the pigs ain’t doin nothin
cause i got nothin’ to live for
money is a mystery
family is dyin
and i’m swimmin in the misery
all the television shows is niggas drinkin hennesy
i can count on 3 fingers who has been a friend to me
2 of them are long gone livin on the other side
1 of them is in the mirror starin’ with the wild eyes
anchor man workin’ hard tryin to make his point
he don’t understand about a person’s mental breaking point
i feel like i’m in the ocean treadin water
and no matter what i do i start to sink a litter farther
i never thought that i would put the steel in my hand
aim it at a man’s head and ask him for 11 grand
but when you look around and don’t see many options
doesn’t seem to matter you’re surrounded by the cops and
screamin all these orders tellin you to drop your weapon
sayin that they’ll kill you if you take another step
and it doesn’t seem to matter if we make it out or not
even though the pigs were yellin my weapon was never dropped and
i can think of somethin that’s better than bein caught
all my worries go away when i let the bullet pop
