Life and Times

{Talking intro]See alexander cried when there were no more kingdoms left for him to conquer…

Hook

I’mma be a failure surrounded by thugs, drugs, and drug paraphanial
Searching for benjamins all my folks lost in the tenements ah
Flow tight
I’mma be a failure surrounded by thugs, drugs, and drug paraphanial
Searching for benjamins all my folks lost in the tenements ah

[Verse 1]

The life and times of Michael Barber volume 2
I flew the coop, threw em throw a loop like producers do
Drag my name in the dirt, I still maneuver through
Caeser was killed by his own that Brutus dude
Read a bible to know exactly what Judas do
But that’s another story, or maybe my own nightmare
I know they coming for me and they won’t fight fair
See me at my very best yet I know I could be better still
Dark (k)nights trying to get high on Heath Ledger pills
I lost control like I can’t find where the remote go
I feel like I can’t breathe cops got me in a choke hold
All over some loose cigarettes (I can’t breathe)
To many haters and naysayers saying they could do what I do
Make a living off music but most of em tried too
It could be sheep or wolves or sheep dressed as wolves
They could still never do what the lion do

[HOOK]

[verse 2]

I don’t wanna be king, I wanna destroy the kingdom
Ya claiming your free but can’t define freedom
These coppers who beat em and then read em they rights
That’s why I disappear just like a thief in the night
Especially if I ain’t armed or at least armed with an attorney
It ain’t about the end or the start it’s all about the journey
So I’m in a hurry, eyes blurry, until the gurney and I see the pearly gates
Or meet the devil at the crossroads
This is just my thoughts so
Take it with a grain of salt, ah oh
It’s hard to think I ever lost
But if you got me you probably cheated
You think I’m not coming back?
I got the worst since of humor, I always get the last laugh
Here’s a penny for your thoughts see if you can coin a phrase
Because before you make a million you gotta make a million mistakes
Lesson learned on other snakes that I’m not revealing
Not feeling these fakes just hang by myself like Robin Williams
