Six More Shots

"SIX MORE SHOTS"

[verse1:]
Six more shots 'fore I pass out
Living in my dreams 'til I wake up
Would've kept it all for an album, like Malcolm I'd rather say it now 'fore I'm x'ed out
What is it that I'm living for and am desperate to be a part of?
Ain't been trading words with the ones I love, we're too proud to talk certain things out
I promised myself to be frank in my ways
Deep in the ocean I'm diving to save
The memories of you I'd kept in a safe, that shaped me and made me the man I'm today
It's you that is hurt and it hurts me to say that I knew you at heart and used all that to play
With emotions as real as the death I inhale when I breathe in the smoke of the cig in my hand, I
Don't wanna mourn those days, I had my issues but you weren't a saint
So desperate for love, you would fuck anyone knowing who they were 'long as they made you feel safe
Yeah, but who am I to judge?
If anything, I am just like you, on a quest for love

[pre-hook:]
If anything, I am just like you, on a quest
For love

[hook:]
Things change for the better
Just a flower that grew up tall out of the concrete
And there's no other destined to be what I'm set to be

[verse2:]
Two more shots 'fore I pass out
Play my position, no pot to piss in
But disrespect me, I'm hot
Momma told me "one day you'll be a star" and I'm working towards that spot
Pops told me: 'member where you come from, tell that story cuz it's unsung
Went from an empty fridge, to college degrees, to being uncle to my sis' son
Back when mom was working three jobs
Now, she good and calling the shots
Pops sedated, on anesthesia, bet that surgeon made him some bucks
Me, I tried to figure out who I was and make all identities split
Grew up talking three different languages and you asking me to be Swiss?
It's like a giant's eagerly tryna squeeze into shoes that could never fit
Cuz they're owned by midgets that can't fathom the skill set he came with
Load your magazines but no hollow tips can get through to kill my lyrics
I fight for what I believe in, gone

[pre-hook:]
I fight for what I believe in, gone

[hook:]
Things change for the better
Just a flower that grew up tall out of the concrete
And there's no other destined to be what I'm set to be (2x)
