Tough Love

Brown ink hit the skin
Were the learning curve ends another begins
I’m given a second chance
Not gonna stray this time
I stay on the righteous path
Took a detour just to get out of debt
No blood on my hands maybe a little dirt
It’s the rebirth transform thoughts
From negative to positive and that’s my word
I take my time on this earth
Doubted most of my time but now
I never been so sure
One life to live so much more to give
I ain’t ready to die
Still working on my bucket list
Concentrate on the future and bury the past
Bad things I’ve done, man I can’t turn back
Hope you find it in your heart to forgive and forget
I am changed man with
Dreams and desires broken down to the essence
I just wanna be healthy and happy
Betta stay with me

So I’m back in the lab and do what feels right
Finish what I started but not by overnight
I take my time to analyze every rhyme
Beats & Rhymes needs to be cohesive
No interference no blunt earrings
Git more bounce than Spalding
Smooth like my baby bottoms
I enjoy local stardom but
When I’m at the gate
I hope to get pardon

Reality bites, sleepless nights with inner demons I fight
To see the light
It’s like god gimme a break
What does it take
For me to find balance and stay outta harms way?
I used to be young and wreckles now, I’m old and restless
Man, when does the hurting stop when does the curtain fall
When can I’ll be the man everyone expects me to be and stay at ease
I need to provide
I need to eat cause free oxygen is not enough to breath
I’m down on my luck I need to move up and never look back but still suffer the consequences from my past
I can give in I can’t give up
I need to treasure the small blessings that I got
And if you keep hating on me
I don’t give a fuck cause when I’m on top
I’ll be the last one to laugh

So I’m back in the lab and do what feels right
Finish what I started but not by overnight
I take my time to analyze every rhyme
Beats & Rhymes needs to be cohesive
No interference no blunt earrings
Git more bounce than Spalding
Smooth like my baby bottoms
I enjoy local stardom but
When I’m at the gate
I hope to get pardon
