Track 4 from the Heiruspecs collection 'theskyisfalling'

We always seem to go the path we know
And no one notices
The other path below is lined with gold
That's where my focus is (x2)

Record over still spinning listen to the pops.
Every body say they winning gunning for the tops
While I'm not
Steady chilling
Watch me get the props
Dues paid
News made
Knowing I don't got a lot. ----
But I'm good with it
Drive around the hood with it
Stood with my kin
Colors of skin like Joseph's jacket
Exposed to racket
Know the bracket that I'm in
Blend the rich and poor, the middle.
I'm just trying to hack it. ----
Earth spinning, 20 years of my rhymes
Bomb hard when you know it's your time
That's how to shine
All about mine, you all about yours
I'm curious George
My flame to the forge.
On 24/7 like a lottery sign. ----
I'm on my mind expanding grind
Learning all of the time
Ignoring all of the bullshit, really all of us fine
Restoring all the hood shit. Really not on my mind
know you're hood rich when you can leave any time /---
I'm looking at my timeline thinking this was supposed to be about fun
Now it's all about guns and money
I'm looking at the news thinking that the blues go against the colors like they gangs and it ain't funny.
The first 48
My first 16 a harbinger for sure
For the dollars and fame we endure
The allure of the life
The mic device I hold stole control right
Still, no sign of that brand new rolls.
My brother doesn't have a license or a car
My wife doesn't ride a bike man that just too far
My son my world spinning and I'm looking at the stars
Maybe cause I've been drinking like I passed the Barr
I need a jar of that good shit
A can of that heat
A man on his feet
Stand and defeat
Hand in the street
Foot in the office
All this good
I'm small, just stood
That's all you can do
You be a man, not defined by the hood.
My heroes were cartoons and business owners
The sense of good and evil it controls us.
Role models were my parents for better or worse
Shit is deeper than what I put in a verse.

We always seem to go the path we know
And no one notices
The other path below is lined with gold
That's where my focus is (x2)

When the going - Is rough
You better - be tough
Come on - Get up
It's never - Enough
And it's all for what?
Just ball, just ball, ball, ball
Get all - the stuff
It's never - enough.
