SCARS FOR LIFE.

old myself I wouldn’t do this
Told myself I’d get through this
I sit and fall when I’m excluded
I exhale when I’m fuming
Started using again, drunk as fuck momma calling me an addict, that’s tough
But it ain’t the end
Slit my arms till I bleed and I hear cries of my relief
I hear him talking my sleep, I feel her hands avoiding me
I’m rolling in the deep, seeing visions of times that went extinct
I let my trauma control me
Ten years of age seen three dead in my face convinced this my fate
Pastors turn to dope fiends, brothers cope with coke or lean
Did I tell you about my child?
Baby momma had a miscarriage I was in denial, whether being a parent would ignite my fire
I’m powerless, she cut ties with me never saw her again
If I had a son I’d name him after me, Tobi was on the list
Hence why I changed my name to it, in honor of my kid
Who wouldn’t see the light of day, only shine I get is when the lighter get lit
I found a lover, April Twenty Seventh fell in love and never put anything above her
Got kicked out, sent to a ward there she was suffering in hunger
Too needy, conception of love ruined cause my heart started beating
She needed time, she needed support and I couldn’t handle a nickel or a dime
And who am I?
I gave up on this long ago
Made Smile for you yet I wasn’t transformed
I swore I wouldn’t let go, but the blues had me
And tragedy struck me deeper into a hole
Are you happy?
Tempt me, I asked how could I ever use you?
I know you’ve been abused too
So come back, I swear I’d could prove, I’m better than what your used to
But diamonds ain’t forever baby

FUCKIN' ALCOHOLIC.

Stars fall and rocks collide
My mother cried same day I was brought to life
And when I die, five albums and two EPs keep that in mind
My arts for you and me there’s no room to deny
What a great emcee I’ve grown to be through time
Fuck a Valentine, fuck the garden of Eden when it’s gestures turn into weaved jesters in the grapevine
In 09 I lost my innocence, three sentences into life and my daddy hitting it
Expected to serve a nickel and a dime, more like a quarter or a five
Momma working a nine to nine for my sake
The verbal led to physical till my heart ached
And my bodies veins broke pace
I switched lanes so quick I shifted the crime rate
I broke bread till I had to pay fake change
Lost love for my body as of late, having sex won’t lead to change
Hold me down and hold me close until my time is up, or make me frown and give a dose until I’m done
Or, break my crown and give a shot of chronic until I lust more
Sipping all the bottles, at school I’m drunk most
Became exactly what I hated and grew addictions times four
Eighteen the limit then I’ll cut course, can’t blame it on any image cause within it I am worse
My liver yearns for health but I can’t bring myself to get up and find help
I am hell, I am self destructive and delve deeper into the hole I fell

TEARS IN MY EYES.
01:23

Made my own peace, made works of art for the world to see,
had the power invested in me I’m not made to be discreet
Spent time recollecting my thoughts, spent time reflecting and directing my moves on the board
Tears in my eyes when I sing it to my soul, tears in my eyes when I lost my source
Revere myself, vision getting clear
Helping myself to steer and circle back to my little sphere,
I’ve always been here to tell ya, remember seeing brothers pushing paraphernalia
So deep in my heart, try to be the one to not be a failure
I entail the dreams of the lost, I exhale the screams of the lord
I excel when my pains growing with the moss,
Scars riddled on my chest in the form of a cross,
Closed curtains, delivering me to y’all
In the end, remember who I am
Sincerely yours

All my problems i contorted
Still aborting old feelings from a cold bitch who had me soaring
Now she boring touring using others for courses
They should feel extorted
According to some sources I should help the pain with a portion of a gain contorting my proportion of blood flowing
From my veins and keep growing for it till I can’t contain
Foreign prophets flooring monsters of a hidden closet
I forbade any son double sworded with a molded brain
I could do this shit for days
I got the order in my trays, I could sort it in for flame
I could sell my soul in vain, wrapping traces of faces that coexisted with my lame heart
Grew apart on purpose, seen your eyes lurking with the same art
You gave me in May ain’t changed a bit you still the same part you was
And the same bitch I love, it’s insane I gave you more than a chance to change but
A witch is who you was, and leech is who you are
So before you go too far just know I loved too much
Tough
