(4) Freestyle #4 Going in circles 02.22.2024 @ 4:09pm


Six in the morning and I’m straight fucking dashing.

On these fucking damn streets, damn streets.

Feeling the heat, police chasing me!

The demons they laugh from way underneath.

 

Hoping these voices go away someday.

I refuse to obey to what they have to say.

They couldn’t brainwash me yesterday.

They won’t be able to get through to me today.

 

I’m drunk right now, but grateful.

Hoping my family forgives me for being hurtful.

It was never my intention to grow up resentful.

Now I try my best to enjoy life with them, peaceful.

 

Anixety takes a hold of me when I’m overthinking.

Dealing with stress will have you reconsidering;

Life and its purposes.

Here I deal with the consequences.

 

Still shall I fight;

Towards the blessings to live through another night.

To awake above ground without feeling freight.

To feel pure serenity and feel the sun on sight.

 

I’m making money so I guess life is alright.

It’s hard to complain when you’re this high.

All I can do is turn up the music and vibe.

Smile and try my best to fucking survive.

 

Especially now, I have reasons not to pursue suicide.

Life is hard but so am I and I’m in this for the ride.

Watch me smile real wide.

‘Cause I’m overriding these motherfuckers when I glide.
