16raheem - Cut em' Off

Fell asleep on the couch and now it's 5am, I'm wide awake
I can't lie, I'm livin', I'm just grateful for them brighter days
You know they be snakes, I play it smart, know they got hateful ways
Used to skip my class, but nowadays I miss them simple days
I can't visit bro, up at his school, cause now I hate that place
Fight internal battles like I'm tryna pray five times a day
I know when I die, I face it all, I don't just fly away
She play with my heart, she squeeze and tear it like it's made of clay
Told bro come outside, we finna slide, I'm like a block away
Gotta watch my sin away, it's time to pray
I can't lie, way back in the beginning, I was lead astray
Lost some people around me, focus up, cause they ain't fit the frame
When it come to music, you can see, no, I can't hide the pain
Ask me to express it in real life, but I cannot explain
One thing that'll make me feel alive when I be switching lanes
It's a dirty game, yeah it's a shame, they say it never change
Pray to God that I ain't livin' wrong
No time for problems, I just cut them off
I speak my mind, I fight my demons off
You don't lead, so you no type of boss
I think we cut up from a different cloth
My heart was metal, but you made it soft
I was winning, but you made me lost
It cost to be alive, so I just paid the cost
Gave my bro my scale, so I just taught him workin' in and out
Gave my bro a plug, I told him he gon' cop them big amounts
Hit the other plug for the qp, this all go to the face
He threw extra in the bags too, cause I'm his favorite play
Every time I catch my feelings comin', I want run away
Every time you wanna get into it, I want run away
Seems like every time you felt my love, you want try run away
It be grown man, try backdoor me, I was underage
I can't do the beefin', I'm not crashin' out, yeah
Cause I just use my pain as somethin' to rap about
Life I seen is crazy, sometimes I think shit is not real
Used to rap with, bro, he got killed
I smoked with bro, he got killed
I hoop with bro he got killed
This shit give you a dark feel
Dude got licked by someone, he call brother, I say no deal
I know people laced, they ain't look back cause it's a tall hill
My dreams so damn vivid, gotta tell myself it's not real
I still see your face around my room, but you are not here
I been changed my life I'm choosing the peace, but I did not heal
I still see your face around my room, but you are not here
I been changed my life I'm choosing the peace, but I did not heal
It be shit I wanna say in music, but I fight feels
Restless, I'm so anxious, I be ragin', I can't sit still
You bring war and peace, I still had loved it I don't know why
This shit ain't the same, look at the clock, with days that go by
Pray to God that I ain't livin' wrong
No time for problems, I just cut them off
I speak my mind, I fight my demons off
You don't lead, so you no type of boss
I think we cut up from a different cloth
My heart was metal, but you made it soft
I was winning, but you made me lost
It cost to be alive, so I just paid the cost
