Dallas / Balance

Verse 1:
I know I been gone for a while
Had to refocus
And get it together
I lost who I was
Found and then lost it again
Feel like Atlas with all of this pressure
The weight of the world
On my shoulders
The human condition
By this and my life Imma measure
That's why imma never
Stop working
Until it's for certain
That I cannot do any better
(Til Im the coldest out)
Cold as the soul of the reaper
That's me
What a scandal
You come like you sick
But you leave in a coffin fit
Mainly for chain smoking packs of them camels
See
Music is everything
All my emotions through lyrics I channel
Cuz even though all of these songs that I make really help
This here ain't even half what I handle
And I'm just

Chorus:
Tired
Can't you see that I'm working?
The fire that's burning
For you
But do you deserve it?
All of this time
When you sold me these dreams
And I thought they were true?
Now imma question
Investigate
Rest
And then meditate
Think on whatever I do
Because that's the final time
Anyone breaking me down
With a chance just to play me a fool

Hook:
Not Again
No feelings
No
Not Again
You care for em?
Not Again
Until I see that something changing tonight

Verse 2:
Not a day goes by
I don't wake up and think of you first
Trust me
This all really hurts
A letter to music
The product is pain but it works
That's really a gift and a curse
My gift is my curse
The best of my qualities
Really does less than it's worth
Put me in a hearse
Moving to sleep under 6 feet
Where I should be in the Earth
Stop
Just stop
Dezzy
Not Again
I'm trying to make it apparent
That all of your demons will hate you
If through all the odds
You find something or someone to cherish
But when I should care it's
Like finding a diamond in rough
Its a miracle
But mainly so rare it's
Just making a point
Invest in a cause that'll give you returns
In your efforts
And merits
So I'll be alone
A wolf in the woods
Whose a King
And that title I'll share it
Cuz everyone knows that the king in this life
Is really the one who don't need to declare it
Ain't it ironic
The man who will lead you to light
Been in darkness
With vision much clearer
Than most of you think
You see through the pain like a window
Be thankful with you that I'm sharin
This

Chorus 2:
This a balancing act
Between my own thinking and feelings
This a balancing act
I'm feeling like neither one tipping
Wait Am I the villain?
Tightrope walking
The audience gasping
Watching me shifting
The Fall of a man
25000 feet up in the air
The impact is killing

That's why we need balance

Verse 3:
After all of this time
The only thing needed was balance
God
What was I thinking? (Pause)
Seems like the answer is simple and valid
I look on my shoulders
An angel with horns
And a devil that's sipping from heavenly chalice
They Saying we got it
And now is the time to display it
They drown in this well of my talent
Revive and repeat it
You see it
I can't be defeated
You feeding my anger
I've had it
I'm here to explode
Burning the core
Only to rise from the ashes
A Phoenix
Believe it
It's magic
The way I can snap on a track
And the bunnies come out at a hat
Really attracted
But that ain't my meaning for rapping
Through all of my lyrics
You'll notice a love and a hatred
About it
A pro and a con
A yin and a yang
Opposites
Key that I keep it emphatic
The good is enjoyable yes
But the pain to achieve it
Just matters
In when you can reach up and grab it
Now climb up the ladder
You'll see where you stay in the scheme
In the coldness
You're mainly a chatter
So
From here on out it's the story
The love and the pain
And the lesson
The reason I am who I am
Failings and flaws
Why I still keep the faith in my blessings
It's simple
Listen on and on
And you'll gain a lot more than the message
The knowledge
The mind of a man
That lies in the pen
This is me
This is Dane
This is Dezmond

Verse 4:
There's always pressure
When trying to change a part of you
But
These emotions
Came quicker
And stayed much longer too
The pain came quicker
And harder than I would want it to
I'm airing these feelings
Cuz I'm fearing for what I'm gonna do
(Pause)
(Wow)
And I get mad at myself
For having answers to these questions
That I'm asking myself
For feeling love for people
Who don't mean the words that they tell
For bleeding for people
Who never need it
Killing myself
But

Chorus:
I guess I'll cry later
Over All this pain that's built inside me
Like a skyscraper
Top of it
Tears fall
Follow em
Guess I'm God's traitor
Doing this for me
Just a plus that the shit Provide paper

But man it's deeper than that
This feeling in me
Have you doubting
Not believing in facts
And if I
Follow through
Like Curry shooting threes at the rack
Learn about me
From the secrets that I keep in these raps

Hook:
And find balance
Even when the scales uneven
That's the time when all is tested
The weight of what you believe in
Find balance
Mind and soul create allegiance
What currently goes for balance
Was usually grounds for treason
Find balance
Become one within the world
Or be gone without a question
The answers will then unfurl
Find Balance
Find Balance

Even if it means losing yourself
You’ll find balance
If all it takes is being mad at the world
You’ll find balance
But anger comes from the soul
There's Nothing else
Find balance
It’s all they know
They must believe what they heard
You’ll find balance
Find Balance

Verse 5:
Find balance
No underlying motives or purpose
I know the pain
True pain
Not like shame when you curved its
A different pedigree
Dog
Foods different beneath the surface
Even if I tried to explain it
You wouldn’t learn it
See
Ive hit rock bottom
Still falling
How do i word it?
This the wrath of a man
All bars
Without the service
Thinking angers all he got
Thats the final gate
Through to worthless
Shit
I’m halfway through it
But anger shit I deserve this
