[VERSE 1: Sto-ik The Poet] Walkin' through the city, never felt so alone Wanderin' under the moonlit sky with no place to call home Nothin' but a head full of troubles, with an empty stomach to go along No money in my wallet either but my Momma taught me to be strong Starry skies above my head, solid concrete beneath my feet Wishin' for a blanket and a pillow, so that I could peacefully sleep Cussin' at myself again because I'm in way too deep If life is a b**h, then I'm sitting in the front-row seat Reminiscin' the past All of the tears and the laughs All of the years that have gone too fast in a flash All of the peers that we lost in the last couple months that just pa**ed, with All of the fear inside, so sincere, about losin' the ones we love so dear, but are still lucky enough to grasp Somebody please tell me that the paranoia's natural I'm just a poet, a regular person, a king searchin' for his queen and castle Am I supposed to be afraid of d**h even though my soul is a time-capsule? Nobody wants to go, but I guess I'll hold my breath, because they said that we have to [HOOK: Sto-ik The Poet] So I wrote I wrote this song for you, for you I hope I hope it gets ya through, ya through From all of the pain That follows my name It's never gonna change the blood inside of my veins It's true So I wrote this song for you, for you [VERSE 2: Sto-ik The Poet] Yea To whom it may concern: For the ones that are soon to bloom and learn Dedicated to: The wombs a**umed to loom for doom & burn Another tomb of wounds to zoom for The Moon & turn This is for you For the ones that are against all odds For the ones like me That are sick of feelin' like they must've pissed off God I just can't stand seein' the sight of my own heart Ripped out of my chest & placed over the flames of a barbeque pit, on the tip of a shish-kebab rod
Cause that's all I got to give and that's a lot to offer Before I'm taken off the grid, I just wanna live a little longer And let the positivity balance out my daily battles with these deceitful monsters Liftin' my spirit higher than the propeller of an Apache Helicopter Cause I'm possibly a future father of a son, or maybe even a couple of daughters Who knows, but hopefully the happiness doesn't have loopholes It could turn into a tragedy if you're not prepared for the noose and used to havin' blue toes Cause the truth, is quick to wrap around your throat and lock it's jaws like a blue-nose When you're overdosing on the lies and choking on a spoonful Where's the hand above the water makin' sure that you don't drown? Nobody ever has your back when life is turnin' upside-down huh? I know the feeling, and it's sad enough to put a frown on the face of clown Like watchin' the tears of an angel impatiently waiting to grace the ground Time is of the essence, especially when the days feel like seconds Trapped in a daze and things don't seem to be too pleasant But ultimately every moment is a blessin', so go ahead and use the pain of a broken-heart as a lesson To build a stronger foundation within yourself and solidify your legacy an everlasting impression [HOOK: Sto-ik The Poet] So I wrote I wrote this song for you, for you I hope I hope it gets ya through, ya through [Yea] From all of the pain [From all of the pain] That follows my name [That follows my name] It's never gonna change the blood inside of my veins It's true So I wrote this song for you, for you Yea I wrote I wrote this song for you, for you I hope I hope it gets ya through, ya through From all of the pain That follows my name It's never gonna change the blood inside of my veins It's true So I wrote this song for you, for you Ha, life's a trip...
