By Any Means

Yeah look around you Everybody staring at the green blind to the red Listen close Wake up at 4 AM body aching spine cracking Clocking ninety hours just to keep the roof from collapsing Sweat dripping on the concrete trading blood for a check Putting years on your life just to earn some respect But the bills keep piling and the stomach starts to rumble That’s when the honest man watches his whole morals crumble Now he’s looking at the corner where the shadows get deep Trading sleep for a package that he’s promised to keep Desperation is a beast it’ll eat you alive Make a good man do some bad shit just to survive Some will kill some will sell we live through hell no telling what some will do sell their soul sell their friend tell on their loved ones for rich and fame Look at the monsters that the paper is breeding Brothers turn into leeches when your pockets are bleeding They’ll smile like a Judas while they’re pacing your floor With a Trojan horse waiting right outside of your door Your day one is a vulture with a calculator mind Circling your casket for whatever he can find They’ll plug an aux cord straight into your chest Stream your whole life to the feds and steal the rest Flipping on the stand trading names for a breeze Leaving skeletons behind just to live at their ease Washing blood off the money but the stains are eternal Signed a contract in blood now they’re burning in hell's journal Hustling backwards digging graves for a check Putting a gold chain around a guillotine neck They’d sell the sun just to buy a cheap lighter Watch their whole family burn while the flame gets brighter Yeah a crown made of dirt for a king made of glass They’ll blow their own brains out just to make the cash last Some will kill some will sell we live through hell no telling what some will do sell their soul sell their friend tell on their loved ones for rich and fame Yeah get the bag right At any cost But look at what it cost you Nothing but ghosts left No telling what they'll do
