[Verse: Marcus Lee]
Yeah
Frustrated, mind is racing
As I am pacing, trying to find the strength to face this
Uphill I'm facing, I've been casing out this newfound life
Think I'mma make it, only thing that I have newfound strife
Saying "I'm wasting away", saying "I'm nothing, but just adjacent
To basic, I'm phased!". Misshapen, my view is just skewed
I stay in a daze, so do I don't go overthinking the whole scenario
Like "If I fail, then silence has been with people I barely know"
There we go, my brothers lift me up when I need a boost
Probably why I keep the Juice handy as if Lee could lose
Still I wrestle with the fact that wе could lose
Frankly I've been feeling kind of weak for 'bout a week or two
Working mysеlf to the bone, barely to survive
Something's got to change, my surroundings and my frame of mind
Just look at different angles, God, see how I just change my mind?
I know the tools to use but I don't use 'em, I just stay in mines
[Bridge: Marcus Lee]
I just wanna, wanna know where I'm supposed to go
When I feel my back is stuck on the ropes
I can't help but think of when I'm gonna go
Depression is a lesson, am I, am I gonna go?
I just gotta take it one, one day at a time
All I have to say, I just play in rhymes
That's all I have, all I have, it's all I have to give
That's all I have, all I have
[Chorus: Both]
(I just wanna make it out)
Watch 'em kill a man for a little
Bit of paper, get a gun, there's some blood in the street!
(But they keep pulling me down!)
Watch the people crowd around like they're doing him a favor
Until later when the fuzz says there's nothing to see!
(I just wanna make it out)
In a couple months, watch 'em write it in the paper
Nothing major, just an accidental ceasing-to-be!
(But they keep pulling me down!)
One we had enough of them covering the danger
Take the wager, teaming up with our brothers in need!
[Verse: The Thought]
We could call their bluff if we playing off their nature
Treating labor to the scraps that they cut from their meat
We could throw some cuffs on the hands of the Mayors
That don't stand for their neighbors that's just trying to eat
We don't have to trust all the corporate invaders
Orchard acres getting torched at a hundred degrees
I don't have to love you to show you my Maker
He's a stranger to the faithful of capital G
I won't wear no gloves when I show you my layers
I ain't ashamed of the way that I be
I don't mean to rub you the wrong way, wrong way
I'll take the blame for the failures of me
Even on closer examination, I deserve your patience
'Cause my display is unique, decay the speech
[Bridge: The Thought]
You don't got the struggles of the youth on your radar
You just in the tunnel and the truth has an Abar
"I don't want no trouble, I just wanna watch from afar"
Headass, you would watch us double-up the graveyard
And never do a thing 'cause we to you do not compare
So when the fat lady sings know that you will not be spared
It's a culture that we bring, that of focusing your stare
And our movement glistening in the future if we care
[Chorus: Both]
(I just wanna make it out)
Watch 'em kill a man for a little
Bit of paper, get a gun, there's some blood in the street!
(But they keep pulling me down!)
Watch the people crowd around like they're doing him a favor
Until later when the fuzz says there's nothing to see!
(I just wanna make it out)
In a couple months, watch 'em write it in the paper
Nothing major, just an accidental ceasing-to-be!
(But they keep pulling me down!)
One we had enough of them covering the danger
Take the wager, teaming up with our brothers in need!
