Verse 1: Landon Wordswell
I was born without a father
80/20 chance to be a criminal or a scholar
I straightened my blue collar for that all mighty dollar
With that comes power plus all I devour
My mom said I'd always have it harder than most
Because being black from the projects - that's how it goes
She moved us to the burbs - her vision was absurd
But I watched her make it happen so I listened to her words
Look, you can't and won't let it take you
Life is what you make it, just don't let it make you
Cause it's an ugly world out there
Best friends turn to enemies for girls out there
We still killing each other for them pearls out there
Sometimes I can't wait until it all unfurls I swear
Politicians killin us all and don't feel nothin'
Same shit, different toilet & we still flushin'

Hook: Landon Wordswell
Can't run can't hide
Doing my best just to try to get by
Stress got me vexed so of course I get high like
La la la la la la la la la la la

Verse 2: Landon Wordswell
Gotta soul search to search for your soul
Only to find that the ones you love will hurt you the most
Think about it - who else had you soaking in sorrow?
At a bar with a bottle and no hope for tomorrow
I'm not cynical - I'm realistic
Telling your mind that it's over, but you still miss it
Had the grip of a cobra on that meal ticket
But now you're drunk off that cobra and you still sip it
Look, picking up that bottle never learning your lesson
The reminiscent thoughts now turn to obsessions
The answers that you had - they turn to the questions
Reconfirming the stress & the anger turns to depression
The danger's permanent - yes - & the flame is burning ya chest and
The spark you had was a flash in the pan to learn for the next one
Don't run - you won't get far
Just take it and embrace it - because when that pain comes it's gon' hit hard

Hook: Landon Wordswell
Can't run can't hide
Doing my best just to try to get by
Stress got me vexed so of course I get high like
La la la la la la la la la la la

Verse 3: Landon Wordswell
Even if you survive
At the end of the day you'll never make it out alive
It's true - I got my ancestors as proof
Plus my Ma Dukes told me too when I was a youth
Said to watch out of the haters, negaters, sadists, inflaters, and greatest of all the fakers laying rhymes in the booth
Believers that turned to faders invade us later for data to play us close as tomatoes when assigned to the fruit
Plus them chicken heads too - that's why Im flying the coop
Get a clue - there's no telling what colonel mustard'll do
Catch up! & that condiment is for the kind of men
That claim to know it all & only knows what It kind of meant
See, ego is a dangerous thing
If deflated you gotta watch out for the pain that it brings creating art is a rat race But if life's what you make then we're all artist in that way
