Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Bloody lips, she always bites when we kiss
But I bite what she writes, life with a bad bitch
Kiss this, the gift been missin' from your wish list
Witness the bliss I'll get when I get rich
Or dig the ditch, they'll pitch when I get lynched
Poems all red like I wrote with a slit wrist
Dead broke on dope in the show business
And I'm the only name still written on my hit list
[Verse 2]
Cold weather, supposed to get better
Goose bumps bump through my Polo sweater
The artists that won't starve grow into go-getters
Burnin' my last coal, carry a gold feather
Roast a bag of dope and wrote myself a letter
Sayin' I gotta get it, get it before I'm deader
Blood couldn't trickle any thicker or turn redder
Wouldn't write another riddle or even one letter
Till I finish this one and bundle the all together
Give 'em back to the tribe who's followin' where I'm headed
Hopin' to find a land where I can leave behind my weapon
And walk out the house and still feel protected
[Verse 3]
Rose out the stone, all alone with no cry
Chosen to roam every road to get mine
Rose out the stone, all alone with no cry
Chosen to roam the globe
I gotta get mine
[Verse 4]
I gotta get mine
I gotta get mine
I gotta get mine
I gotta get mine
I gotta get mine
I gotta get mine
I gotta get mine
[Verse 5]
Rolling another penner, joints is gettin' thinner
California is cold,  but we never have a winter
Ain't warm enough by the stove, I'm out here gettin' dinner
I'm hungry and I'm skinny and I'm only getting thinner
Sweeter things in life just makin' me feel bitter
A promise to my love that I can't deliver
Oh, sinner, but no saint, just a bucket of paint
Everything that I lost, what I got to gain
No woman no crier
Just a liar on fire
Hanging from shoelace strings from a telephone wire
[Verse 6]
Is there breath left? I'm makin' good on them death threats
Sobered up, and couldn't get an eyeful of bed rest
Revenge for my early 20's livin' in excess
Wish I could've quit or at least just bet less
But wishes are a motherfucker like incest
Chin checked by the fact I'm still livin' in debt
[Verse 7]
Rose out the stone, all alone with no cry
Chosen to roam every road to get mine
Rose out the stone, all alone with no cry
Chosen to roam the globe
I gotta get mine
[Verse 8]
I gotta get mine
I gotta get mine
I gotta get mine
I gotta get mine
I gotta get mine
I gotta get mine
I gotta get mine
