...Dark Times...
I sit back and relax while they pass on me...
I give these girls the world, and they just dash on me
The truth hurts... they never stick around for me
They're good at breaking me down... but never down for me
So what can I do?
I'm Married to the music, I stick to my roots...
I need to see another person walk in these shoes...
Cause they don't have a clue, all this mental abuse.. and yet I...
Choose to stay on my own...
It's all a mind state and I stay in my zone...
They got perfect aim when they're throwing those stones...
Ha... but these people, they could never know
I gotta keep my composure...
I keep the blood close... and keep my enemies closer...
Thinking of the times when I couldn't stay sober...
And even though it's over... I still need closure...
Playing for keeps, rinse and repeat, I never sleep...
So give me a beat, I never let them get to me
No need to compete, I give you boys the cheat sheet...
Bon Appétit, excuse me if overeat
Buffet style, got me going the extra mile
I see 'em watching my steps, but we in different aisles...
I had to take a break from the game for a little while...
But now I got myself together, it's a lifestyle...
Look around... it's dark times... look around...
Look around... it's dark times... look around...
Look around... it's dark times... dark times...
Look around... it's dark times... dark...
Heritage Hill... someone take me back to that...
Taking walks to food fast to grab a snack...
Or making sure that that the TV dinners last...
Cause with a family of six, we hit a rough patch...
I'm not embarrassed to say it, no shame in it...
God gave me life... I made a name with it...
Yeah I made mistakes... but change came with it...
Never remained the same or placed blame in it...
That's not me... I can't resort to that...
They love to publish opinions but can't report the facts...
I'm used to it... never needed supporting casts
So I just press record... And leave it the past...
I don't got time for these wack dudes...
They could never take a chance like I do...
They play it safe... straight opposite of my views
I'm good at taking the risks And paying my dues...
Look around... it's dark times... look around...
Look around... it's dark times... look around...
Look around... it's dark times... dark times...
Look around... it's dark times... dark...
