The wide awakening

The wide awakening Where all that attitude comin from All that anger in your eyes but your numb We’re all lookin through your soul lookin dumb There’s a life out there to live, but only once Here’s to watching another one leave by the gun Another soul caught up, forgot where they from Man it’s so tragic These fools really thinkin they Magic Like burnin out quick Makin they ass an instant classic But it’s just a mentality Nothin other than erratic Youth leavin this earth As if they actually carrying Some seriously heavy baggage But they ain’t holding nothin Other than some fear that’s makin Them think savage since birth Where all that attitude comin from All that anger in your eyes but your numb We’re all lookin through your soul lookin dumb There’s a life out there to live, but only once Here’s to watching another one leave by the gun Another soul caught up, forgot where they from Man it’s so tragic These fools really thinkin they Magic Like burnin out quick Makin they ass an instant classic Man all this defensive mechanism Is a cataclysm Causin irreparable damage What a tradition of death And final breaths filled up With pistol smoke Like this life is nothin Short of a fuckin joke It sends a chill up a spine And a shrill ass pain In the back of a fathers mind Where all that attitude comin from All that anger in your eyes but your numb We’re all lookin through your soul lookin dumb There’s a life out there to live, but only once Here’s to watching another one leave by the gun Another soul caught up, forgot where they from Man it’s so tragic These fools really thinkin they Magic Like burnin out quick Makin they ass an instant classic Especially remembering The smile of that same 16 month Old boy shine While he lies in a box gone far before his time That’s the sight of a soul Takin away merselously Before his prime Where all that attitude comin from All that anger in your eyes but your numb We’re all lookin through your soul lookin dumb There’s a life out there to live, but only once Here’s to watching another one leave by the gun Another soul caught up, forgot where they from Man it’s so tragic These fools really thinkin they Magic Like burnin out quick Makin they ass an instant classic Fuck all the shame and the pain And the pride and the street Minded grind, where we so often find A soul meant to shine Burnin out in the rain as the Lighting strikes like a knife In the night Too cool to feel fright, so fuck it just Risk it all right? There’s kids runnin in fear for they life Yet they never once learned what it felt like To choose to be safe for one night, Cuz that ain’t cool right? Naw they gotta fuckin grind cuz respect And that papers all that ever mattered right? Then that when god says fuck it man And shits out the lights And that’s life right? And that’s life right? And that’s life right? So fuck life right?
