On That Day (Five Years Ago)

It seems that I'm trapped, with no shield, no sword
The unbeaten path got my soul so sore
Allured by the lust, something gil can't cure
The devil want me as he is, but god wants more

Ever wish you never was born
Threat coming but you know that you can’t weather the storm
Sector 7 outer heaven where I seem to reside
Trained to kill but I don't really wanna another homicide
Everything I thought was the real, it turned out to be a lie
A product of my pride I don’t want us to die
Eithеr outcome is horrible of course
But if wе both go I'd say its par for the course
I think about the slums where I'm from, folks are out there fighting over crumbs
And running guns
And I can't do a thing to assist
I'm John Stockton, without a ring, and the gist is
It's broke and I can't seem to fix it
Earth out of control like scientists predicted
While I read, struggle to find the truth
And the more I learn I'm even more confused
Out here I'm searching for who I think is the enemy
But every day he reminds me more of me
So to anyone I ever did wrong
Imma wish you well and pray that you live long

As for me my choice was made
5 years ago on that day
And it ain't been the same way
Since 5 years ago on that day
Since 5 years ago on that day
Since 5 years ago on that day

Ever wish you didn't have to wake up
Can lay in bed, eyelids could stay shut
That's exactly how I'm feelin' now
But I know I can't cuz that's not my style
Everything I shoved in my closet is now fallin' out
And makin' a big pile
And if I don't believe I can achieve
I need to quit it right now
Either outcome just another let down
So I think about the past and what it did to me
Those who passed on who now live through me
I hesitated to take action
And living like a coward just ain't crackin'
The more I know, I get more frustrated
I must press on cuz we must make it
I'm searching for who I think is my true friends
And trying my best now to tie up these loose ends
So to anyone I ever loved
Sometimes you gotta go through hell to reach heaven above, man

For all of the times I didn't listen
And all the friends I lost man I miss them
The only medicine for suffering, crimes and the woes of mankind is wisdom
I heard a man say the mind is a prison
Possessed on a quest still tryna find religion
Just too much heartache
Lead em to the water but can't make em partake
808s autotune and of course the heartbreak
Heart race like the moment right before a car chase
Feelin' like Biggie on midnight of March 8
Top of the world till you starin' in god's face

As for me my choice was made
5 years ago on that day
And it ain't been the same way
Since 5 years ago on that day
Since 5 years ago on that day
Since 5 years ago on that day
