All On The Line

Verse 1

Everyday I’m waking the boy has got a heavy heart
Knowing what my talent is, I feel like demigod
Any given day, you could catch me up on plenty blogs
Yet I live uncomfortably, why I’m saving pennies for?
Anxiety’s kicking in so I got them sweaty palms
Cause I have a nephew I want to provide for
He’s my inspiration, the reason that I rhyme for
Hopefully the sunset is where we’re gonna ride off
But they keeping asking me, “where’s my next mixtape?”
Nigga, I’m just living life, trying to get my shit straight
Student loans over my head, interest at fixed rates
But they gon’ tell me bout success and what it takes
I’m questioning life choices (choices)
Searching for a job and feeling voiceless (voiceless)
The world is my ocean, where’s the oysters?
Can I go back and avoid this?

Chorus: 2x
Can’t turn back the hands of time
I’m come to far to turn behind
I put it all on the line (I put it all on the line)
I put it all on the line (I put it all on the line)

Verse 2

I don’t question if she’s got love for me, I question if she’s in love with me
Cause when she’s around her friends, she don’t show it publicly
Then I get to thinking that this whole thing is fuckery
Knowing that she’s hiding stuff, things she won’t discuss with me
Then I look into her eyes, it just starts digusting me
Cause she knows I’m hurt and allowing all the suffering
I thought you were the one, now I’m like fuck a ring
Because I’ve turned numb, I won’t discuss a thing
I opened up my heart to you
What’s worst is I still love every part of you
I put up with your antics like a carnival
Why do I feel insecure if my name is incomparable?
There is only one of me, there are like a thousand yous
I can find another pretty face that’s really down for dude
Investments of the heart aren’t like US bonds
You ain’t guaranteed returns less its the truest love

Chorus: 2x

I’m at the crossroads, that’s right at the crossroads
Opportunity had knocked, now all of them doors closed
But I keep on knocking and I’m hoping they know morse code
It wasn’t a soft blow, lost everything I fought for
But I keep on screaming til boy has got a sore throat
It wasn’t a grassy knoll. Somehow I went off road
First I’m seeing Mase stop. Then I see Kanye rock
Polo Teddy Bears, and all my friends saying, “that’s Shake’s spot”
Right under his nose, but Jay is co-signing State Prop
Fast forward on the blogs, now I’m seeing Drake pop
Asking, “Did I miss my boat?”, “Why isn’t my name hot?”
Going no where fast cause I’m standing in the same spot
Can’t go back, I can’t go back, sacrificed everything I had
Can’t go back, I won’t go back, won’t accept failure as my path

Chorus
