Vices

[Intro:Tom Schulman & bV]
''law, business, engineering, this a noble pursuit, necessary to sustain lifePoetry, beauty, romance, love
This what we stayed alive for"
Yeah, stay alive, stay alive
Always alive, we never die
"I don't know what to do with conflicted souls, man including me myself, yeah"
Yeah, stay alive, stay alive
Always alive, we never die
*vocalizing
I think all the vices surrounding, can't you see (woah, woah...)
They sugarcoat everything, so misleading
In a sense, they make bV a victim
I can't help myself
Cuz the vices taken all over me

[Verse 1]
Put my hope in the sky, put stars on the roof, cuz I'm a superstar
Audemar on my wrist, I still don't got it, thats why I manifest
I come straight from the jungle, minimum wage when I'm grinding, oh what a struggle
Ay, I put that hit on my list
She ask money so I'm gon dip
Oh no, no, there's no dispute ay
They know who's the realest
Pulling up at the function
I keeping all my cool yeah
I know Sol been watching me
She said that she proud of me
IG live when I made this beat
It's glow time, let me speak

[Verse 2]
Ay, hold up, hold up bout this
Been war with demons, vices tempting me
I gotta lot of reason, burning heart in my soul, preserve the flame
"Audemar on my wrist", that's the term they saying, they just flex the same
But I keep it real, purpose to fill, there's bigger reason to be here
They said words for affirmation, so long flows grant wishes
They said "Boy, you a Golden Child", but I chuckled from a distance
Cuz in reality, could ended me, the vices on me, that I can't rid
Emphasis I need, for the problem is, the vices is, to deal it just by myself
Yeah, just to be myself
Took a long time just to be myself
Reflection of mirror, who you see?
Let me paint the picture, vivid clear
Know I'm the Big Stepper
My affiliate said he hate rappers
Stompin a bitch like Akkimwaru
He acting fool like Hagemaru
And she can't pronounce my name
She just want me cuz my fame, sadly
I really want to be heard lately
This lifestyle, part my vices, sadly..
The vices taken over me
The state of high that I can't reach
I be one of the greatest
My girl be the baddest
Evolve the latest
Never do it in a safest way
Stay alive.....
