Snake Skin

I was overlooking a mountain view and smoking on a balcony

Feeling like nobody’s looking out for me

I’m in your view but just out of reach

You know where I’ve been but not how I’ve been

I kissed my girl then went down to the beach

The price you pay for everything you’ve always wanted

The price you pay for staying real and staying honest

Me myself and my first world problems, I know

Sink or swim but what's the cost of the boat?

All I see is sheep telling man they're the goat

It’s sink or swim but did you learn how to float?

The demons never leave, we just learn how to cope

It's been a while since I've written, man, I think I need some practice

Long hair, long beard, feeling like John the Baptist

She don’t love all my songs, she only finds me attractive

Treat every wall like a canvas, madness

Good hearted bruddas who found our way into badness

It’s been long time, I know it’s been looking glamorous

Standing with my lions, protected by black panthers, I know

I know it’s looking better than it feels

I got it all, I hope I still got it when I heal

The pain stays concealed, the birds eye view is getting lonely, for real

Boom bye bye, right inna him head

Pain in my heart, baby, I cannot pretend

Imma call him snakeskin 'cause he's chatty with the feds

War is in the air and somebody ah guh dead

Mi seh boom bye bye, right inna him head

War is in the air and somebody ah guh dead

Pain in my heart 'cause I lost so many friends

Baby, how life sweet when you're beginning in the ends

Mi seh boom bye bye, right inna him head

Pain in my heart, baby, I cannot pretend

Imma call him snakeskin 'cause he's chatty with the feds

War is in the air and somebody ah guh dead

Mi seh boom bye bye, right inna him head

War is in the air and somebody ah guh dead

There's a pain in my heart 'cause I lost so many friends

Life ain’t sweet when you’re living in the ends
