Thin Air Lyrics by Dice Raw

Jimmy’s Back

2013

[Verse 1]
I reached my lifetime limit on lies
And I reached my lifetime limit on tries
And I'm running low on hellos and goodbyes
So I'm here to stay baby, you know you can wipe the tears from your eyes
Heard your [??] take so many years thought I'd never see the morning sky again
From hearing grown men cry in a cell, that kind of makes it hard to pretend
When you been close to winning it kind of makes it hard to give in
It makes it hard to throw in the towel and that's never been my style
And around here we still take a beating for our pal
And old ladies when they see us they don't ever smile
They shake their heads from side to side, look us up and down
But I know where that frustration come from
They look at our generation like a bunch of dumb-dumbs
And I don't know if that's wrong or right
But is it wrong for me to just want something different in life
For my family who's only ever saw poverty
And deep down inside that shit bothers me
I wonder if I'm being the proper man I can be
Don't leave the drugs alone start working break my back
Til my knees start hurting for five bucks an hour with a boss that's a jerk when
I can get a brick, flip it and get paid that's for certain
But if I get caught with a brick, it's the curtains

[Hook
They say that things are different and it ain't like it was before
Any young man like myself in life really should want more
Maybe I never knew what's out there
Maybe I never even cared
Enough to find myself one day pull something out of thin air
Thin air, thin air thin air thin air

[Verse 2]
Niggas shootin every night can't hustle on a war block
Baby two weeks old and they sleepin on a warm cot
Hand to hand [??] rock only way on top
Hundred and fifty dollars that I need that's a long shot
Out on the ave. you know it's swollen with cops
One said, up against the wall routine stop
Fifteen dimes on me and a sixteen shot
Now I'm upstate with a shake and a slingshot
Gangs run you inside so I'm running with a crew
Niggas from the other side boys saying fuck a truce
They put me in a box they should put me in a noose
Ropes still around my neck even though they cut me loose
A barefoot negro running through the jungle
Every man's equal try to be humble
So everyday of my life filled with struggle
So everyday of my life I'm gonna hustle
And I can do a hundred pushups trying to push thru
Slice another brother through even if he push you
Fuck what you would do
On the outside no compassion, no questions asked on the inside

[Hook]
