CunninLynguists - Heatstroke lyrics

[V1 - Grieves] I said the lights don't help these days Chances are that if you're 10 rows back, I can't even see your face I've been hidin in the only thing that ever made me safe Long enough to make me addicted, turn it into my cage Who the f** wants to drink my wine? Put the last drop on hold, honey, I don't think I'll make it in time This whole game's got me fakin a smile And tied down to the tracks I laid down tryna gain an extra mile This is all of me, another thorn-stem apology Writin in the heat of depression, dyin for harmony Lost - til they find me with a bullet with the cross in it Hung around my neck like somebody told me there's God in it Yeah, I guess I got a problem with reality And never look to Heaven when the devil in me flashes his teeth That's the part of me I'm tryna change And swing hard now, I'm breakin the chains Now get away from me [Hook - DTV] I said the road's so hard and rough Said I'm tryin not to lose my way In a world so cold and tough So disheveled that it digs my grave What's holdin me down? Down, down, down Down, down, down What's holdin me down? Down, down, down Down, down, down [V2 - Natti] From time to time Like Bryan, I'm a shell of myself If I was a weaker man, I'd put a shell in myself Either ballin on a budget or fallin on a deficit Plenty of self-worth with no means of investin it The blessin's get few and far between, so I'm stressin sh** Lady Luck is celibate, she ain't f**in wit me Hidin behind a habit, starts to lookin mighty temptin Hurtin behind a image, I ain't pimpin I'm just limpin Tryna walk it off or walk it out That's just what the south's about Handlin adversity whenever I step out the house Whether the weather sunny or nastier than sauerkraut Every endeavor takes bits of faith until you left with doubt No tears for fears, but I swear I won't shout Kick, scream, and strain but that ain't gon change a thang Big screen the game, you see but don't feel the pain A junkie is a cripple but he won't show you the cane [Hook] [V3 - DTV] I got this restlessness in me, and I don't understand There's no measure to this man, but I keep sinkin in that sand How will I ever be able to grow? Feelin like the Last Dragon and I'm searchin for the glow Days darker than the crow, fly when the sky's night Can't get caught up in the lows, tryna keep my eyes white, but I smoke Strive to do right like them flight brothas And not just cuz them red and blue lights love us I'm scared to live, not afraid of law sh**, I ain't scared of n***as that ain't scared at all But I am scared of fate, hope you hear my call And ain't no crabs in that bucket, none will share my fall I got shackles on my feet, hands bound to my chest Convicted of bein a victim of self is my best Just livin life tryna end up on Heaven's guestlist Or living life, do what I f**in feel til d**h It's hard [Hook]
