Pushing the Barriers


I'm  driving  home  alone  

Just  read  a  sign  "Stay in Lane",  but

How  am  I  supposed  to  stay  in  lane,  when  

something  called  fame  makes  me  go insane

Trying  to  get  the  paper,  one  way  or  the  other

I  can't  believe  was  betrayed  by  a  friend,  used  to  call  him  "brother"

 

Victim  of  betrayal  but  I'm  not  yielding

Feeling  like  "King  Kong"  climbing  the  Empire  State  Building,  

Or like  a  group  of  zebras  crossing  the  bloody  river,

While I'm  trying  to  avoid  this  trembling  stress  shiver 

 

Still  driving  on  this  car  all  alone,  just  read  a  "Stop"  sign

 but  my  mind  says  the  opposite

If  I  stop  I'll  find  myself  lost  in  pit

Burning  inside,  but  my  outside  reflection  shows  no  fear

When  this  life  journey  slaughters  worse  than  spears
