The Dead Rappers Society - Life Lessons 2

Up early in the morning at the foot of the bed
I got the hammer cocked back yeah its aimed at my head
So many thoughts
That are racing through my brain I'm trying to hold it all together
But right now I feel the pain because the debt got me stressing
While I'm gripping a Smith and Wesson
I'm trying to the lessons from the lyrics of Life Lessons
But my depression
Yeah it's in the wrong direction
Man I'm staring in the mirror
But the vision ain't clear
Cold water on my face
Clenching the sink I feel disgrace
Because the man I know I am shouldn't be in this place
The rat race of life
It got me thinking twice
About doing anything and everything nice
Man I'm dark
But I'm trying to be the light
To steer you down the right direction down this road of life
Never had no there
Guide or make it clear
That this life could be lived with love and not fear

So I un-cock the hammer
And put the gun down
And start to think about it the sun coming up wow
I got another day to be a better man
I'm doing what i got to do to understand that plan
But can
I ever figure it out
Without a doubt I'm so filled with doubt
Cuz I've lost the compass am I even head in the right direction
I'm trying to foresee my demons coming
But alls I'm seeing is my reflection
I'm trying to go North but I feel I'm going South
East to the West man, I'm looking for the route
My wife is my center point, I'm trying to figure it out
You know the way I live for my daughters you know there's no doubt
So I roll one up and I blow a big cloud
Knowing that I'm going to figure it out
It's time to knuckle up with due diligence now
The weed and the beat got my demons simmering down...

I've been trying but I'd be lying if I told you that I've been doing my best
Debt got me stressed, the nightmares and night terrors got me dripping in sweat
Just look at my nails, I'm a fucking nervous wreck
I used to pop Percocet's, but now I grab that Zig-Zags
And a big bag of Sess
I take a deep breath, I just decompress
Immediately feel the relief in my chest
While trying to find substance in something
That's ultimately meaningless
But I can't stop these demons from screaming from deep within
And I'm tired of just trying to maintain
In the words of Koop
I'm out my mother fucking mind frame
Wondering if this 9 will finally get rid of this migraine
But I always snap back like a 51-50
No time to mourn throw on beat time get busy
Life ain't Disney
So I break up the weed
Koop splits up the Swishy
