War In These Streets

Verse 1: Vessel
We cross oceans in the hopes of finding something new
Never noticing the beauty right in front of you
Tight bonds are coming lose, it's the ugly truth
Been a machine for so long, I lost a couple screws
And I ain't salting wounds just to fuck with you
But I ain't tryna play God with demons that trouble you
I think it's time to catapult with knives to each other's throats
It's casual, but it's hard to let bad habits go
Going into panic mode, hoping I can stand alone
But I've never needed crutches in fact, I've never broke a bone
Never broke a sweat, no fear lack the pheromone
Never ask for the crown they still sat me in the throne
Strength of the name's good wherever spoke
Las Vegas veteran, I couldn't pick a better home
If streets were paved with gold with tar in feathers would be in fashion
All roads lead to home, I'm back tracking

Hook: Vessel
But I ain't feeling stressed, fuck all of that talk under your breath
You think I'm looking at you like a threat
Guess you must've lost your mind
Look at me without you I'm just fine
I stand on my own at all times
I promise I ain't losing sleep
Keep battling those secrets that you keep
But now you got me thinking what's beef?
Had to go and wake the beast
Competition is what I'm picking from my teeth
Fuck peace, there's a war in these streets (there's a war in these streets)

Verse 2: Vessel
How does someone who's down from day one turn bitch
Guess there's some shit I'll never get
Ride or die for my fellow ship, tie off the bitten arm and sever it
Poison in the blood on that forever sick, catch my drift
I'm breezing by breathing fine with the wind in my face
They talk shit it's just spit in my face
Facts get out of line so I'm getting shit straight
But star fucking up my book of life and getting erased
Point blank ya'll point blame, I've never been the type of judge
I'll let my maker be that man when my time is up
So keep fucking up your life so you can call it fun
But don't come looking for life like I ain't tryna show you son
Disrespectful motherfuckers I swear
You can front all you want like my ass wasn't there
Snakes acting like brothers spare the family affair
Now my backs against the wall cuz ain’t no stabbing me there
Fuck it, bridges burn cuz the nights get cold
I'm pouring liquor for the victim of an ignorant soul
It's hard to swallow so I forgive if some choke
But this is for this listening close, cold as winter snow
They sneak dissing but I keep the vision crystal clear
And I ain't tripping cuz the homie keeps the pistol near
So miss me with that bullshit don't come tripping here
Or minus the smoke and mirrors, I swear you're gonna disappear
Straight up

Competition's is what I'm picking from my teeth
Fuck peace, there's a war in these streets (there's a war in these streets)
