Man Vs Self Lyrics by Marcaux

Cedar Creek EP

2020

[Verse 1]
I was raised to believe that I was a king in the making
The world is mine for the taking
I see that nothing’s changed
If I pray till knees
The only reason I’m prayin’ is either time or for patience
There ain’t enough to waste
Short kid, short temper singing life is short
Who could do right, what is right, and has the right support
I was taught who to fight but not who I’m fighting for
I guess man versus self is still a type of war

[Chorus 1]
I guess man versus self is still a type of war
(Still a type of war, still-still a type of war)
Still a type of war
Type-type-type of war
I guess man versus self is still a type of war
(Still a type of war, still-still a type of war)
Still a type of war
Type-type-type of war
Still a type of war
Type-type-type of war
Still a type of war
Type-type-type of war
Still a type of war
Type-type-type of war
Still a type of war-war
Still a type of war

[Verse 2]
I was raised to believe all of my dreams are provision
I think it into existence
And look at what I became
If I pray from the seams
I’d leave my heart in these stitches
Of open wounds I’ve been given
I know that life is pain
Short kid, short temper singing life is short
The underdog of the game decided to tie the score
I fight the world, stand alone, and then I fight some more
I guess man versus self is still a type of war

[Chorus 2]
I guess man versus self is still a type of war
(Still a type of war, still-still a type of war)
Still a type of war
Type-type-type of war
I guess man versus self is still a type of war
(Still a type of war, still-still a type of war)
Still a type of war
Type-type-type of war

[Verse 3]
I feel music and prostitution is one in the same
How we pimped ourselves out then got bucks from the brain
Pause, I’m a dime a dozen because my circle is the smallest
While y’all with the quarters makes sense nothing would change
If they ain’t fucking with with me fuck em, I’m in love with complaints
They just aren’t use to artist having something to say
Shit is crazy when work the is just as fun as the play
So the Perc I set was no vacation, I’m just numbing the pain
Look four flows on one sixteen with three verses
Twelve tracks on two albums with one purpose
Selling 80 tickets to open for one person
That’s a hundred-twenty reasons why Marco puts them in hearses
Look
I ain’t nervous
I shake em without shakin’
I make em to my creation
I’m quakein’, I’m groundbreaking
And I got hight
Hit rock bottom then found Satin
And made him sell his soul to me like we switched places
Short kid, short temper singing life is short
A bright future let them stare ’til their eyes are sore
I’ve never backed from a fight I’ve needed to fight before
I guess man versus self is still a typ-

[Chorus 3]
I guess man versus self is still a type of war
(Still a type of war, still-still a type of war)
Still a type of war
Type-type-type of war
I guess man versus self is still a type of war
(Still a type of war, still-still a type of war)
Still a type of war
Type-type-type of war
(Still a type of war, still-still a type of war)
I guess man versus self is still a type of war
(Still a type of war, still-still a type of war)
Still a type of war
Type-type-type of war
(Still a type of war, still-still a type of war)
I guess man versus self is still a type of war
(Still a type of war, still-still a type of war)
Still a type of war
Type-type-type of war
