Life on the Line Lyrics by Tonton Raymond

Life on the Line, Vol. 1

2019

[Chorus]
I put my life on the line
I put my life on the line
I put my life on the line
I put my life on the line
I put my life on the line hoping you put it in rewind
I put my life on the line hoping you put it in rewind
I put my life on the line
I put my life on the line
I put my life on the line
I put my life on the line
I put my life on the line hoping you put it in rewind
I put my life on the line hoping you put it in rewind
[Verse 1]
I put my life line on the line
Every dream is a title match
It could no longer be mine
If I lose myself inside of the ash
Of all the things that have burnt around me
Or the flames that are still engulfing
Tried to eat up my own burning
The smell of napalm in the morning
I put my life on the line
Like wet clothes clipped at the throat
Like my step brothers ghost, clipped at the throat
Maybe he'd have lived in UniPort
Know loss could write you a report
And I swear to God it hurts
But I've been stubborn from my birth
When life busts, aboy I retort
We grew up where the guns gone clap
We have hands but we didn't clap back
But that didn't mean life didn't stake a knife straight into our backs
So you see these freaking verses
These words are therapeutic
I put my life on the line, each lyric is a bit of my existence
*Inhales deeply*
Breathe deeply and smell the burning
The grave be calling
I'm yearning for something deeper
Finding meaning to this life that is nothing
Death steady reaching
So I'm also reaching for everything as long as my heart still beating
[Chorus]
Life on the line
I put my life on the line
I put my life on the line
I put my life on the line
I put my life on the line hoping you put it in rewind
I put my life on the line hoping you put it in rewind
I put my life on the line
I put my life on the line
I put my life on the line
I put my life on the line
I put my life on the line hoping you put it in rewind
I put my life on the line hoping you put it in rewind
[Verse 2]
Bet it all on me, bet it all on me
But sometimes I choke under all of the hope that they put on me
I love to live my life for me
And for those I love
And those like me, those who share similarities
I put rage to paper, I put love to paper
I'm sharing out pieces of me
How much do I have before I run empty huh?
Imagine every piece which I release takes away and slowly kills me huh?
The art is a hocrux that's holding my soul
Each one weakens me more than before
That would mean that I ain't normal
No wonder I dish out all of these magical flows
Spit larva ash diamonds and coal
My belly is an active volcano
Flying though I ain't solo
I got features with whom I coast
I get stressed and I do the most on a verse 'cos I bleed over my notes
Put my life on these lines to cope
With my folks I lost
Bros in the dust
And obstacles rear up
I see them chasing
Demons see them reaching
Death I hear you calling
But while I live Imma go all in
There's no stopping at this point
Already broke out of the cage
Already addicted to laying my life upon the uncertainty of a page
[Chorus]
I put my life on the line
I put my life on the line
I put my life on the line
I put my life on the line
I put my life on the line hoping you put it in rewind
I put my life on the line hoping you put it in rewind
I put my life on the line
I put my life on the line
I put my life on the line
I put my life on the line
I put my life on the line hoping you put it in rewind
I put my life on the line hoping you put it in rewind
[Outro]
Life on the line like a backed up boxer
Back to the ropes but I come back tougher
Cope with these lines like coke
Need to rap to cope so I keep it dope
Digging up these buried dreams with hope
Breaking through the dirt uh, I'm a hoe
Flip it like a pancake, when you think I'm done the other side had just begun
There's fire to both sides of the tape
I put my life on the line
There's fire to both sides of the tape
I put my life on the line
