Halo

[Verse 1: Q Strange]
I got the heart of a saint but I'm living like a sinner
Sittin' sippin' liquor as I'm waging war against my liver
Not a winner and I'm bitter and a little bit a liar
I'm an angel with no halo and the whole wing in the fire
In denial of these trials and the constant tribulations
I'm debatin' if I'll make it and I'm praying, I'm forsaken
I got Satan and his demons and they swimmin' in this bottle
Every swallow that I take to fill a void just leaves me hollow
And to follow on the path of righteousness ain't always easy
People greedy and they seem to be deceiving
It's so sneezy, it's a seedy snake from hell that dwells inside my private Eden
And its fruits are always sweet and true, indeed I ain't no demon
I be dreamin' of the day I make it home
But then I wonder if the life I'm out here livin' only drags me deeper under
When it's done and said and over for a halo I be hopin'
'Cause I'm holdin' onto this one even know my halo's broken

[Chorus: Q Strange]
If you do the right thing, things turn out right
But it's hard when you need to live the past life
So I pull my brakes and try to slow my roll
'Cause I'm hopin' for a halo when it's time to go

Fast life, fast cars, fast women
And I know that the way that I'm livin'
They ain't gon' let me into heaven
Lord, I pray that my sins are forgiven

[Verse 2: Rehab]
I just put the 409 on the right on the side of the my Nike flights
I'ma roll on the tires at the traffic lights
Some sell green, others swing the white
Or the yellow, whatever another fellow might like for the right price
Nights like these are priceless, I hang a right
Windows rolled down 65 Fahrenheit
67 black on a Dark Nite Ford F-100 with a 390, good Lord
Some people call it sellin' drugs
I call it government work
'Cause there's no way to honestly play the Monopoly game properly
In reality, people get hurt
Street bums sleepin' on the steps of the church
We got wars out the yin-yang
Accordin' to the King James version, it can only get worse
Let's get rid of all the weapons, who wanna go first?
Uh-huh, that's what I thought, welcome to Earth

[Chorus: Q Strange]
If you do the right thing, things turn out right
But it's hard when you need to live the past life
So I pull my brakes and try to slow my roll
'Cause I'm hopin' for a halo when it's time to go

Fast life, fast cars, fast women
And I know that the way that I'm livin'
They ain't gon' let me into heaven
Lord, I pray that my sins are forgiven

[Bridge 2x: Rehab]
Thoughts in my head swirl like a tornado
Smoke another J, try to make it go away, though
I find it hard to take it slow 'cause there another day goes
Hustle like hell, but I'm hoping for a halo

[Chorus: Q Strange]
If you do the right thing, things turn out right
But it's hard when you need to live the past life
So I pull my brakes and try to slow my roll
'Cause I'm hopin' for a halo when it's time to go

Fast life, fast cars, fast women
And I know that the way that I'm livin'
They ain't gon' let me into heaven
Lord, I pray that my sins are forgiven
