Brighter Day

I put my life onto the page when I wrote this Blood in my pen drip a drop for every sin Heart on my sleeve wear a smile though im hopless Walk a mile through this life Im livin' in They say its better all you gotta do is choose right Ill take the path If i can only find the way Battle demons as im creepin' through the moonlight Tomorrow mornin' live to see a brighter day Cough and choke Everyday went up in smoke i was Goin broke slippin down them frigid slopes Now its bigger hopes take the shot Need bigger scopes stay awoke Now they quote the realist shit I ever spoke Cough and choke Everyday went up in smoke i was Goin broke slippin down them frigid slopes Now its bigger hopes take the shot Need bigger scopes stay awoke Now they quote the realist shit I ever spoke Close your eyes and focus on the plot and situation Every plan we put in motion Circumstances that we face Case in point case the joint And get up out like its whatever Hit the block make a drop We been in this shit for years together Pitchin' a brick catchin' a lick Cheesin' and laugh about bitches we hit Money on books plenty of crooks Stuck in the system and mentally shook Mothers on ice fathers on coke Nobody works and everyones broke so Im thuggin' and strugglin' hustlin' dope Connect wit my crew when its too hard to cope Brickin' the shots life isnt fair Put in the work but nobody cares Built up aggression about to implode Duck and take cover before I explode Whats all the point when your kickin' up dust Weight on your shoulder with no one to trust Pain in my body I cope with a crutch They have an opinion but never say much Talkin' is cheap its easy to do But walkin' the walk aint a walk in the park On a line that ya cross when you step on a crack And your facin' the karma thats headin' to you Blood of my blood flesh of my flesh Love is a battle we fight to the death Walk it alone for so many steps Live and let die im not holdin my breath Wait I can see that look of hate on they face That tired sigh when I left and started pickin' up pace Its all the same in my lane now they all givin' chase Play the game dont let it play you stay in your place Time is of the essence so i established a presence The crowning of a king as i rose from a common peasant Will they acknowledge the monologue of a prodigy A feather from a pheasant to ink in my final prophecy Look in the mirror like this is what I was meant to be The spirit is eternal im tryin' to create a legacy Through all the struggle i feel like a soldier mentally Listened to every lesson a hustler ever said to me So whats destiny over time it has tested me Diamonds are really coal its one of natures complexities A street scholar slangin' outta necessity Turnin' powder to liquid then back to solid like chemistry Heart and motivation important parts of the recipe A universal soldier born to the purest pedigree The game changes and fame is only temporary Legends live forever so what im doin is legendary Cough and choke Everyday went up in smoke i was Goin broke slippin down them frigid slopes Now its bigger hopes take the shot Need bigger scopes stay awoke Now they quote the realist shit I ever spoke Cough and choke Everyday went up in smoke i was Goin broke slippin down them frigid slopes Now its bigger hopes take the shot Need bigger scopes stay awoke Now they quote the realist shit I ever spoke Oh lookin for a brighter day Oh gotta find a better way Oh better than yesterday Oh lookin for a brighter I put my life onto the page when I wrote this Blood in my pen drip a drop for every sin Heart on my sleeve wear a smile though im hopless Walk a mile through this life Im livin' in They say its better all you gotta do is choose right Ill take the path If i can only find the way Battle demons as im creepin' through the moonlight Tomorrow mornin' live to see a brighter day
