“Scary Hours” was the first song I wrote for the tape. It was named after the tape because I wanted to have a title track for once. I also wanted to speak on some world issues but not in a way that would criticize or lecture people by sounding preachy but rather opt for an observation in the first v...
"SCARY HOURS"
[verse1:]
In a world so cold, make it to the top of the totem pole or get cut off
They'll never let you know you steering a whip that's about to lose control, need to wake up
So here we are, ready on curricular, gotta brace yourselves for the end, scary hours
Scary hours, there won't be suvivors
The sky is falling, the earth is crumbling, the winter misses the snow
Meanwhile, we out here, our vision focused on screens that's caging our souls
Julio up in Acapulco is busy slangin' his coke while lil Rashad in Al-Aswad is seriously wounded, 4 seconds ago he got hit by a bullet and to be honest in a couple more minutes a bomb will drop about 1-42 meters away from his block and wipe off all the houses
His - and those of his 23 beloved cousins
A woman is shouting, reminding us that she used to be worshipped like a Goddess
[Bridge:]
God, forgive us for we do not what we're doing
As bad as we act I know deep down, at the core, everyone is good
Yeah, according to reality
It's getting harder to believe
[Hook:]
Scary hours, brace yourself for scary hours
Scary hours, brace yourself for scary hours
Scary hours, brace youself for scary hours
Scary hours, scary hours
[Bridge:]
God, forgive us for we do not what we're doing
As bad as we act I know deep down, at the core, everyone is good
Yeah, according to reality
It's getting harder...
[verse2:]
My footsteps in ashes, why do I burn everything I touch?
Why does it hurt so deep, after so long why it means so much?
Failures keep layering up when I dodge
The voice in my head that I know I should trust
Cuz lately I've mostly been leaded by lust and emotions I thought too enticing to flush
Got sin in my flesh but keep faith in my heart
And fuck rapping, I'd much rather be erasing my scars
The more I'm writing these verses the more I seem to notice just how close the hearse is
But all I ever wanted to do was to carry the ones that I ever loved but
Depressingly admitting that at the most demanding times I just couldn't
What the fuck did I do when my mom and my sister were getting beaten?
Where the fuck was I at when my bestfriend got raped and was on the floor bleeding?
If you felt my pain, would you feel the same? yeah
[Hook:]
Scary hours, brace yourself for scary hours
Scary hours, brace yourself for scary hours
Scary hours, brace youself for scary hours
Scary hours, scary hours
[Pre-hook 2x:]
God, forgive me for we do not what we're doing
As bad as we act I know deep down, at the core, everyone is good
Yeah, according to reality
It's getting harder to believe
