Roses And Razorblades

I'm a simple man all I want is lifes gold

But I never wanna leave, not until my life's told

Through a pen and a pad I write ministries

Frustration with these suicidal tendencies

I can't blink cause if I do it might pass by

Just leaving me, once again I only ask why?

I'm waking up in the morning just to fight work

Trying to figure out where I fit in this tight world

I'm living proof you can hustle for your life's gold

Struggle with the muscle of a knife in your minds soul

I never thought I could express what the real was

Till I understood what the phrase 'keep it real' was

Does it mean loyalty or does it mean hate?

Cause most of y'all do the latter just to instigate

I don't really care cause I be own man 'til the night's out

Fighting in the blind till the lights out
