Jacob Bell - Cheating

I'll murder the beat but it's murdering me
Setting the oven 350 degrees
Eating the dough right out of the freeze
Hand in the cookie jar caught by a sneeze
Now it's quacking as I try to pen
Look over shoulder no peers in my lens
Filling the bubbles as I try to guess
Popping them quickly with swords unrelenting
I'm scheming I'm scheming to get one leg up
Pats on the back go break it go bluff
Break through the cell door but I am not tough
Storm through the bank vault but I'm not a thug
Cheating I'm cheating to find my own way
Hatin' I'm hatin' who I have became
Improper grammar's a part of the game
If you don't like it then laugh it away
If you feel numb then laugh it away
Take all those drugs flush in the drain
Life's not a joke you can't laugh of the pain
Life's not a joke you can't cheat that's insane
Life isn't fair so everyone says
Life's not a fair get out of your head
Lines will be long you can't cut into place
Life will be short you can't cheat in the race

And I'm dreaming and I'm dreaming of these things that I'm conceiving
What's the reason of this season
This ain't Christmas whos to blame
And I'm thinking and I'm thinking of the things that I covet not sure if I'll even love it do I really want the fame
Selfishness inside of me feels like a shell outside of me that somehow didn't make a pearl but a reject of its shame
That pearl is down the corner can I meet it at the border know I have all I need but can I please just reach

Hands have been closed not ready to go
Reaching with fists flying to there and fro
-m back where I came from not ready to leave
But I keep eyeing those beautiful trees
And I keep eyeing those people I see
Gouge out my eyes force me to cry
This is lesson that I must retry
This is a battle and I cannot die
Pick up the axe strike from behind
Stay in the shadows you're harder to find
Do it in secret and you won't get caught
That's from the devil and you are the plot
Story's non-fiction and you are the diction
Your set on a mission that's all about fishing,
Casting your lines are like casting your lies
And the harder you try the tighter they pry
The harder you try the realer it gets
Once you get caught hold all your bets
Thought you were safe but its a façade
Can't you recall the all-knowing God
Can't you remember what you had before
Gripping the sand it continues to pour
Life wasn't perfect but it was enough
Faithfulness Faithfulness it is a must
Looking for love you had a lover
Looking for peace you had your comfort
I know you want more and it's only human
In this day and age we keep on zoomin'
Faster and faster and faster it goes
When it will end nobody knows
When will you stop nobody knows
Cheating I'm cheating I'm cheating my soul

And I'm dreaming and I'm dreaming of these things that I'm conceiving
What's the reason of this season
This ain't Christmas whos to blame
And I'm thinking and I'm thinking of the things that I covet not sure if I'll even love it do I really want the fame
Selfishness inside of me feels like a shell outside of me that somehow didn't make a pearl but a reject of its shame
That pearl is down the corner can I meet it at the border know I have all I need but can I place my

Idols are close blocking my view
Like totem poles their totaling you
Swervin and sskrtin around all the tracks
Leaving their mark with the pedal to max
I draw out the lines and come to a crash
Everyone passed me as if I was trash
Is this what I wanted I cannot relax
What have I started I'm stepping on cracks and I'm breaking my back as I get out the car
My legs are collapsing I'm stepping in tar
Under the weight of the pain that I've caused
Those that I've cheated were never this lost
How did I speed to a dead end so fast
Put up the white flag and cut down the mast
Walking the plank trying not to fall
Breeze keeps on blowing I've lost it all
I'm the Prodigal son and I'm risking it all
Got the Father on line and I'm ending the call
I've made my choices so what can I say
Cheating my loved ones and threw them in graves
Give me my money give me my wants
I'll speed to death if I want to or not
I'll cause some pain to get what I want
I'll cheat on them to gain more of me
But oh who am I to think of such things
I am but dust yet you are who's free
Shepherding souls like the best referee
Wandering sheep copied from me
Faster and faster and faster it goes
When it will end nobody knows
When will you stop nobody knows
Cheating I'm cheating I'm cheating my soul
