Trial By Fire
[Verse One]
In a city full of pawns
I see joke, joker, deuce, deuce
I'm like Dark Knight - Bruce, Bruce…
With a few more screws loose
In a city full of frauds
Where nobody tells the truth
I’m too honest for my own good
No matter what I do
[Hook x2]
Cuz I been hiding
In the clouds right behind the silver lining
Can't get out, so much weighing on my mind it's
Burning up, it feels like a trial by fire
[Verse Two: dopeSMOOTHIES]
Judge, jury, executioner
"DON’T MOVE!" that's the solution
I'm extraordinary, people treat me like a
Morbid-scary-ether breather, might…
Bore the very reaper he keeps, might…
Flourish lift the people 'neath me, I'm…
3 for 3 from 3, I'm beasting, I
Complete the 3, eternal eating, that's…
"8" you late the buzz is leaving, I'm…
Macy Gray – I TRY, I TRY, I TRY, I TRY…
But we all die sometimes, we all cry sometimes
And we all wish we could have some time
Where you won’t come find
[Hook x2]
Cuz I been hiding
In the clouds right behind the silver lining
Can’t get out, so much weighing on my mind it's
Burning up, it feels like a trial by fire
[Verse Three: dopeSMOOTHIES]
They took Tookie, yea…
I’m no rookie, yea
God put me here, hard lookin' stare
I don't live in fear
Cuz I don't flippin’ care
If I flipped the years
I could drip with tears
Cold as shit, holding cell thinkin' holy shit!
If this lil pinch gonna stick
They gonna ban me quick
Hit my granny quick, come and grab me quick
'Fore I'm in here sick
I ain't eatin' shit – I ain't with this shit!
It's a shame, it's a disgrace
How every time you show your face
Somebody gotta die
If they don't die
Then they gonna fry
That ain't no lie
It's no limitations to demonstration or innovation
Led astray when the pennant race looked a lil vague
Hella hatred when elevations the way
Separation from every slave ship I stayed
In the matrix my destinations a pill away
I ain't made shit, my patience is still the way
Get away if the only way you can feel ok
Is to make others feel the same way as you
You lame, that's a draining pain
That I can't explain
Nor will I entertain!
I stayed in my lane and aimed at…
Whatever came, I came back!
Riding to "My Way"
*Sirens* – hit my brakes!
My time arrived
Fate let me stay alive
Straight gotta survive, pulled me aside…
Flashed my life before my eyes
[Hook x2]
Cuz I been hiding
In the clouds right behind the silver lining
Can't get out, so much weighing on my mind it's
Burning up, it feels like a trial by fire
