I'm in my mind again
Lost up in my thoughts
I gotta find my pen
I gotta find some piece
Roll it up to find some peace
I just hope my bro stops backing beef
I pray he gets a salary
I pray for no more casualties
Our focus should be family ties
Cuz I got yours and you got mine
I just wanna feel love like in my mother's eyes
I just sit and smoke a spliff and think how time flies
Like
Will I make it in this life?
No CVs just EPs
Will I make it out in time?
No date nights, just late nights
Will she read between the lines?
While we move between these sheets
Can you say what's on your mind?
Can you?
Can you feel what's on mine?
Cuz this weight up on my shoulders
Got this feeling that I'm dying
Tell me sis that she's a queen
Tell my mother that I love her
Tell my bros to stay clean
Cuz we'll always have each other
In this life
But who am I?
Just a guy with some flows
Who thinks he knows the roads
But carries himself differently
He's just gotta to set examples
Get awards up on the mantle
It gets too much to handle
Same photo, different angles
Same cards. different gamble
This life it gets a handful
But I'm thankful
These lights
Have guided me to safety
This life
Always brings pain
I realise that nothing's ever
Promised to us
That's why I just can't live here in pain
These lights
Have guided me to safety
This life
Always brings pain
I realise that nothing's ever
Promised to us
That's why I just can't live here in pain
Someone grab the wheel
I'm having convos with my demons
Over red wine and linguine
They said they'll never need me
Why they belling off my line now
I clock it all the time now
Lies up on my timeline
She says she'll never leave me
Only needs me when it's night out
The lipstick that she's wearing
Got me losing my composure
Age has made us colder
Man I see it in their eyes
And I feel it in the room
Too scared to tell the truth
So they holding back their tears
In the hopes they fade away
Like waves upon a shoreline
I wish that we had more time
But life is like a cycle man
A series of decisions
With many different outcomes
Sitting on an island
With my family taken care of
Brothers living healthy
Living out their passions
Like look we made it happen
We celebrate the night
As we drink away our sorrows
One step at a time
The vision is these lights
And I see them in my mind
These lights
Have guided me to safety
This life
Always brings pain
I realise that nothing's ever
Promised to us
That's why I just can't live here in pain
These lights
Have guided me to safety
This life
Always brings pain
I realise that nothing's ever
Promised to us
That's why I just can't live here in pain
Enlightened in unusual places
Hurt by familiar faces
Fake stress and loose lips
Will sink ships
If the captain is not aware of the wave he is riding
Drifting into unfamiliar places
As the crew members disappear
He lives in fear
That he too will be ship wrecked
On the shores of an island
Where even the sweetest fruit, is poison
