Scrape V.2
Posted: Sat Aug 28, 2010 10:04 am
Audio comin soon.... thought I'd refresh this shit and add a verse to it.
Feel like I'm cornered, what more can I afford to lose/
And the weeks are long when there's nothin to look forward to/
I'm sore and bruised, sweatin to earn these slave wages/
Nowhere to place blame when I'm making these late payments/
I hate changes, and I don't want no one to suffer/
And I'm bummed that my talent could go undiscovered/
My tongue is tougher from spittin all these bars and rhymes/
My heart is blind so music helps me through the hardest times/
Keep a sharpened mind and every day I take in stride/
To stay alive but I'm a dull razor, I'm just scrapin by/
But I may decide to say fuck it and risk it all/
Slowly inch and crawl to my dreams so I don't slip and fall/
I could be optimistic, at least I'm not in prison/
Never been shot and we always got a pot to piss in/
If I'm not persistent, then I'll never excel in life/
And if I can't do that, shit, I hope that 2012 is right/
Its like success is out of reach no matter how long you chase it/
Wish I could add up to somethin but I used the wrong equation/
Stay strong and patient, ready to jump when the time is right/
My mind is bright, but the world has it distracted like a blindin light/
Its hard to focus and the future is faint and blurry/
Waitin for my big break, wishin I could take it early/
I'm chasin 30, its only a couple years away/
So now I question if I can start a career this late/
I fear the day that I'm too old to hold a pencil/
And I wonder if I'll ever reach my full potential/
I'm close to vengeful, I feel like life is holdin out/
What you know about havin a cash flow like a frozen spout/
Hope and doubt has my attitude in a constant back and forth/
I want a piece of the pie but I don't even have a fork/
This is my last resort, but even if I don't earn a mill/
Until my urn is filled, I'll ensure that every verse is ill/
