i'm going CRAZY

DYING SO SLOWLY IT SO

EASILY SLIPS MY MIND

MISTAKES, REGRETS, APOLOGIES

ARE WHAT WE ARE SO OFTEN DEFINED BY

I PRAYING THAT YOU SAVE ME

SAVE ME

FREE ME FROM MY CHAINS

BEFORE YOU LAY ME DOWN TO DIE

BABY I’M GOING CRAZY

CRAZY

I’LL MAKE IT TO THE OTHER SIDE

JUST MAKE SURE YOU PUT COINS ON MY EYES

I CROSS THE RIVER MAN I’M FRESH OFF OF THE BOAT

THE GOAT

FLOAT LIKE SOAP

CROCODILES IN A MOAT

MY MOTION AT A HIGH

AND EMOTIONS AT A LOW

THE POTION IN MY BLOOD

NOT WORKING IT’S A DUD

A GHOST COVERED IN MUD

WEIGHTS CHAINED TO MY SOUL

MY HEART GOT LOTS OF HOLES

SWISS CHEESE WITH SOME MOLD ON IT

I DON’T SMOKE LIKE CHIMNEYS

MO MORE AND I FORGOT HOW TO ROLL CHRONIC

ONLY HOW TO MOLD PHONICS

YOU TOOK THE HIGH ROAD

YOU GOTTA PAY THE TOLL

THE FERRYMAN IS SCARY

AND HE VERY FOND OF GOLD

CURRENCY’S A CURSE

YOU’RE DEFINED BY YOUR PURSE

HOW MUCH IT HURT TO CARRY

IS YOUR WALLET FILLED WITH DIRT?

HILARIOUS

DO YOU SHARE

DO YOU HOARD?

IS IT EASY TO AFFORD

THE VARIOUS OBJECTS

NEFARIOUS ODD JOBS

FOR VERY LARGE CHECKS

A CHERRY ON TOP

EAT IT WHEN YOU DROP DEAD

WHAT GOES UP

MUST COME DOWN

I KNOW PLENTY OF PEOPLE GETTING LOST IN THE SOUND

POWERFUL VIBRATIONS SHAPING YOUR PERSPECTIVE

TRUTH AND DECEPTION

POLLUTING YOUR PERCEPTION

I KNOW THERE’S SOMEONE OUT THERE WHO FEELS LOST

AND THEY’D PAY ANY COST TO BE FOUND

BUT I WON'T BE FREE TIL I’M SLEEPING UNDERGROUND

UNDERSTAND?

OUR SOCIETY IS BUILT ON MOUNDS OF QUICKSAND

QUICK RUN!

THEY COVER UP THE SUN

THEY MURDERING OUR SONS AND OUR DAUGHTERS

AND SLAUGHTERING OUR CULTURE

OUR SEPARATION MAKES US EASY TARGETS FOR THE VULTURES

BUZZARDS

HOW CAN WE DO ANYTHING IF WE DON’T GOT EACH OTHER

I HEAR MC’S PREACHING SEPARATION RACISM AND HATRED

I GOT LOVE FOR EVERY COLOR AND FACE

I’VE BEEN PLACES THAT YOU MIGHT NEVER SEE

I SIT FOR HOUR MEDITATING IN THE SHADE OF A TREE

I GOT A FIRE IN MY HEART I LET IT BURN

I FIGHT FOR LOVE UNTIL THAT FIRE PUT ME IN A URN

AND YOU AIN’T WORTH MORE BASED ON HOW MUCH YOU EARN

SOME OF THE WEALTHIEST SOULS IN THE WORLD DIE BROKE

WITH BARELY ANYBODY HEARING A ONE THING THEY SPOKE

WITH BLOOD LEAKING OUT THEY THROAT OR HANGING FROM A ROPE

I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL KEEP CREATING TIL I DIE

IMMA TRY IF MEAN I'LL BRING A SINGLE PERSON HOPE

HOLD ON HOLD ON YOU GOTTA HOLD ON

HOLD ON (YEAH YOU GOTTA)

HOLD ON (DON’T LET GO NOW)

HOLD ON (AHHHH)

I WISH YOU COULD SEE THE MAN I’VE BECOME

I WISH YOU COULD KNOW THE THINGS THAT I’VE DONE

I WISH YOU COULD HOLD MY HAND ON STAGE

IT’S BEEN A WHILE SINCE I WENT TO YOUR GRAVE

I WISH YOU COULD BE THERE TO MEET MY CHILD

I WISH I COULD ONE TIME SEE YOUR SMILE

I KNOW THAT YOU’RE PROUD OF ME

AND THAT YOUR LOVE IS SURROUNDING ME

THROUGH EVERY TRIAL

I KNOW YOUR LOVE IT SURROUNDS ME

BUT I'D STILL KILL EVERYBODY IN THIS CROWD

IF IT MEANS I COULD HAVE YOU BACK

ID BURN EVERY RACK AND NEVER MAKE A TRACK IF IT MEANT I COULD SEE YOU AGAIN

MY BEST FRIEND TAUGHT ME HOW TO BE A MAN

YOU LEFT AND NOW OUR FAMILY IS LOST WE PRETEND IT’S ALRIGHT

BUT I KNOW GRAMMA CAN’T SLEEP AT NIGHT THE SAME WAY AS BEFORE

MY HEART IS SO COLD

I CAN'T HELP BUT THINK ABOUT

HOW IT WOULD BE IF YOU STAYED

WOULD THE MEN IN MY FAMILY HAVE A ROLE MODEL

WOULD I HAVE DRANK THE WHOLE BOTTLE

WOULD I HAVE A TATTOO ON MY FACE

WOULD I CRY

WHEN I SEE A PICTURE IN A FRAME

WOULD MY OWN BLOOD BE SO QUICK TO PLACE BLAME ON EACH OTHER

WOULD MY BROTHER HAVE GONE AWAY

I REMEMBER SEEING DAD AT CHURCH

ON THAT DAY HANDS CLASPED TOGETHER

TRYING TO PRAY

AS I GROW OLDER MY MEMORIES FADE

SAT IN THE LIVING ROOM PLAYING WITH TOY TRAINS

I REMEMBER WHEN YOU DIED

I DIDN'T FIND OUT FOR THREE DAYS

CUZ MY MOMMA DIDNT WANNA GO AND RUIN THE VACATION

I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG I COULD SEE IT IN THEY FACES

DINNER TIME EVERYONE BUT ME WAS WEARING BLACK

WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME

THAT WAS THE DAY MY HEART SNAPPED
