Straight Inappropriate - 36 (feat. Shannon Ziegler)

Grow strong young warrior grow strong grow tall
The Earth shakes with your war cry
Impressionistic expressions
Trying to hide my depression
With my flow so impressive some call it perfection
No tension I smile at em
Offer suggestions as questions
Like what’s the message you sendin
Are them pills prescription
Would it matter to them if one day you wound up missin
I keep persistent like a torn Achilles heel
Like doin work at the club gridin on the feel
Noah told me you might just blow up
So to all of ya’ll that hate keep your fuckin mouth shut
Closed lid I feel I’m steady losin oxygen
Detox again hear my friends are going places
Only oxy and gin could let them go
Chasin the feelin with heroin
Another overdose who knows shit
Whatever happened to HarCo my home of fuck you know me
One day running my mouth is gonna get me in trouble
But I put in double
Double the work they ever could fathom
Like the drummer boy I rat ta ta tat em
Steam roll flat em
Try to stay optimistic but I’m sad lookin at em
Cover the land in a shroud of smoke
Grow strong like all men do
Grief and ashes mark your passing
Black ashes and grief for you
The chip on my shoulder can’t hold the wait of the world
Impatient retaliations make me seem too bold
Just take me I feel old
The rope around my neck is freedoms fierce choke hold
The tip of the icebergs the birth of change
Mind mindful of it’s own nervous rage
Feel like nothin but we want something
To lean on to run to to stand for to show you
We they him myself her them I’m by myself
I deny the innocence of a naïve child
Thoughts like weeds our yards old dirt mound
And all the while death sounds so sweet
So momma get some sleep I know that you’ve been staying up late lately
Dad I know we argue bout daily but be strong take care the baby
She needs you more than ever really wish I coulda met her
She’s your angel little girl
Hey guys I’m begging here don’t cry
The only thing I ask of both of you is tell her I said hi
Just because I’m leaving now it doesn’t mean I’m sayin bye
I know it’s hard to understand but I hope that you two can try
See I’m not hurtin anymore
Grow strong
Grow strong
Grow strong young warrior
Grow strong grow tall
The Earth
The Earth
The Earth shakes with your war cry
