Lyrics

I don't have much time, so listen
Not much breath to speak, so brevity is given
Give ear and hear the last words of a pastor
I'm not the definition, but I fit the description
Been living on the edge, thin line between Heaven and Hell
So ain't no half-stepping on this scale
Life employed whole death notes
And Death knows I've been avoiding
"Boys will be boys," but I've learned not to toy with it
It's real and, like bail, true life is hard to get
Ain't no bartering for it
Play your cards and earn your keep
Earn your sleep throughout, ain't no sleeping in
Build good habits and weaken all the weak within
Calendar mark your Sabbath
'cause Life is meant to take your breath away
So you can breathe in on the weekends
I seek ends, I'm after them like new beginnings
You can get it if you're swift to miss the tempting from the Serpent
Who serves ends to all good workings within you
And leaves you with addictions that can end you
Tell the Lord the truth about your struggle, no fronting
Just keep it real, you keep it to yourself and don't say nothin
'Cause all I want in life is to be deprived
Of appetites toward vices that lead to strife
Holla at me if you feel me
Too many nights, I've lost sleep from dreaming
Aspire to what is higher to beat your demons
'Cause all I want in life is to be deprived
Of appetites toward vices that lead to strife
Holla at me if you feel me
Too many nights, I've lost sleep from dreaming
Aspire to what is higher to beat your demons
Spawned in a world, abhorred, a born sinner
Porn my drug of choice, most boys' voice would differ
Porn ain't a drug like Ex or malt-liquor
With external effects, but porn is more inner
In a world where pornstars is award winners
The shelves in the stores of the triple X deliver
But I believe sex the award itself
And it ain't the same thing when you reward yourself
The inherent definition of reward is it's given
Inherited before by the hard work put in it
The natural effect when committed to the vision
A feeling living in man and for man stands within him
Decision by decision, it's my mission to let go
The rhythm of this soul's tempo is different
I'll tell the world the truth about my struggle, no frontin'
I'll keep it real, you keep it to yourself, we all say something like
'Cause all I want in life is to be deprived
Of appetites toward vices that lead to strife
Holla at me if you feel me
Too many nights, I've lost sleep from dreaming
Aspire to what is higher to beat your demons
'Cause all I want in life is to be deprived
Of appetites toward vices that lead to strife
Holla at me if you feel me
Too many nights, I've lost sleep from dreaming
Aspire to what is higher to beat your demons
Real World
Real World
One day, I'mma live in the real world
One time, One day
I'mma live in the real world, real world
One time, I'mma live in the real world
One day
One day I'mma live in the real world
I'mma live in the real world
