off the dome

just trying to make it through life with a heavy heart ever since I was young was left in the dark swimming through a sea surrounded by sharks. I needed a start but the car was in park. standing still. working the corner selling pills praying for a deal just so i can chill an not worry about the feels of going to bed hungry bec the pack didnt sell. almost had to kill they tried robbing me thinking I didn't have that ricky Bobby with me. the shake an bake watching out for snakes that try taking your cake. ita not what you bake but it's all on what you make. making a living for god sake trying to feed my soul but my heart grew cold an now that im old I got more bold. snitches out for blood showing the cops love without giving a hug. locking me away when all im trying to do is feed my daughter an stay away from the slaughter but it's the life we live the shit we dreamt as kids sitting on the block drinking a fifth not really knowing what life is. this is the life i chose standing on ten toes falling down an getting back up to blossom like a rose someday be playing shows speaking the truth to the youth so they don't lose momma addicted to boose all i wanted to do was cruise chasing them blues thinking I'm cool when really who knew one step forward ten steps back selling smack blowing up my jack just to reup the pack fiends never had my back so quick to snitch to get me off the map i lost track whos real an whos fake trust no one they all snakes thats the fate its you against the world unless you find a good girl that keeps you in line helping you shine just remmeber to wine an dine if she fine bec she all mine.
