Only He Can Hear

Everything in life seems repetitive
That's why we're competitive
We all feel the confidence
Flowin' through our veins
But we can't find the competence
To make it without screwin' our brains
All we think about is the money
It's glued to us like honey
Don't mind me if I think its funny
That's just my personality
But I'm bringing you to my reality
I'm minutes from a fatality
Or am I on the verge of immortality
Soarin' with the angels way above the hood
Not' talkin' about the substance
That makes everyone feel so good
All I work with is natural
Cuz I like to keep my world factual
But don't get me wrong, my view is casual
If it pleases you to lose your mind
I won't judge your bind
But I just don't feel like that kind
Tired of being the portal
Between this world and the wannabe immortal

Debt to the ceiling
The best friend feeling
But you're over here kneeling
Prayin' to the skies
That you never break those ties
But only god can hear your cries

It shames me to watch these kids overrun by weed
Don't get me wrong, I have a want just not a need
Increasing your knowledge?
Only way to make it through college?
Living life on the edge?
Weed seems to be the wedge?
Fuck outta here with all that chatter
I'm on deck, your heads the ball, I'm the batter
Don't worry I'm not trying to flatter
Been there done my share
Livin' life without a care
But gets a time where you lose the urge to dare
Because one day I'll have a girl to bare
My first born child
I want it to have some wild
Just can't bare to see them have a stack piled

Debt to the ceiling
The best friend feeling
But you're over here kneeling
Prayin' to the skies
that you never mess up those ties
But only god can hear your cries

I'm trying to relate
While there's hella people tryna create
A world that never existed
Unless they were drunk and twisted
The time has passed, and I missed it
I overcame when the majority was vast
Everyone tried so hard to make it last
They always thought about the past
I'm here to tell you whats next
The light at the end of the tunnel
I don't want to see you crumble
Y'all are my boys, but you left me hangin'
Except for red 'cause he's bangin'
But I'll always be there...
Because you weren't aware
When I was alone in that cold, hard chair
I was afraid of the time
When all you thought about was the crime
Couldn't scrape a dime to use
No more food... It's physical abuse

Debt to the ceiling
The best friend feeling
But You're over here kneeling
Praying to the skies
That you never mess up those ties
But only god can hear your cries
