This is the first day, of the rest of my life this is the motion, the potion, to help me survive this is the remedy, the energy, i sweat while i strive to catch a breath of fresh air, i'm a thief in the night Blood On Beats This is, all i never did this is real life music, feed it to the kid help him grow, only thing that changes is change i'm an animal, a cannibal closed in a cage Blood On Beats Expression, opened my eyes turned the depression into motivation straight from the heart aim and run, you feeling me? i'm telling you son sky's the limit, my mission's to connect with the sun Blood On Beats Life is but a quest, better give your best before you put your bones to rest still i must confess, i lost a lot to get to where i'm going that's why i'm hungry and my teeth are showing Blood On Beats On another level i be living in the darkness for too long i'm so close to settle god be thy name but i only saw the devil stuck in the same shit press the pedal Blood On Beats Eat, sleep, fuck, live, die blind, deaf, dumb, cry love, hate, breath, lie it's the circle of life and it can't be stopped now the Blood dropped... It's the circle of life and it can't be stopped Blood On Beats Blood On Beats now the blood dropped Blood On Beats now the blood dropped Blood On Beats now the blood dropped Blood On Beats it's eat, sleep, fuck, live, die

The Void 03:18
I'm the face of disgrace lone wolf that defines me it's the ego that blinds me sadly... but it's true Reminiscing of them old days so stuck in my own ways same outcome always, always the aggression keep me on top it don't soothe me, it hides me still trying to find me, it's always about me listen to the voice man, answers never come easy words never make sense, somebody please heal me they come close then they leave me so disappointed when they see me, the real me i built a wall cause i'm selfish, surrounded by envy and spite feel the weight of the world on my shoulders no solution in sight you come close then i byte, i'm a wolf i just might see me howling at the moon, stress keep me up all night what you wanna do? where you wanna go? what you wanna change in your life? happiness a problem, stuck between wrong and right why you gotta choose? what you gotta lose? left or right? learned this the hard way, life is more simple it's not black or white man truly a shame, took a trip down memory lane the confrontations, the pain that i gain the pain that i cause make me suffer in vain no situation's the same the people that you love be the people you blame do it all again the mistakes be the same just saying...still looking for the remedy know all the ingredients but never learned the recipe i'm caught up in the fumes hard to focus on the melody i got hell on me, first you give, then you take, then you live then you try to make a difference thinking you can get a win, that's the goal i just wanna save my soul, ready set go do i care? that's an issue, truth is i really don't know what the fuck man? i don't need love? i don't need pain? i don't need life? i don't need directions? i don't need affection? an end to this endless fight? i just wanna save my soul, ready set go
