I was barely hitting seven when you froze behind the gates
Guess you never really felt like hitting earth little bro
Coming head first would have just been the start of all your pain
I’m glad you never cried but sad you never saw no place
Yeah there’s beauty here to see until suddenly it’s demise
You can blossom to a flower, but overgrow they cut your lights
Reality is advertised on every corner every sign
See how bad we’re in disguise to want vr to pause our lives
Yeah, i could tell you everything is great
But every place i’ve really stayed was all made up inside my head
Take a trip inside a train, see faces looking estranged
Nine to five we fake a smile, then keep lying to ourselves
In making memories we do our best to forget
Say it’s the greatest night they lived then couple shots or hit the (co)caine, woke up in the morning, couldn’t remember anything
A few weeks later they told me “she got pregnant with his kid”
Both nineteen, around the same age you would have been and he want to abort calling “fail mission” to his ship
But the only thing he failed was in relation to his chick
Who wanted no abortion, so the kid raised as his father did
Growing up until he realized daddy ain’t around to teach him
Ain’t no doubt his mother raised the bar to get him what he needs
But the greatest night they lived back then put their child in abyss
He thought he was “the man” until one day he laid on the streets
I wish that was the only kid fixed with that script
But i could fill up all my sheets with real life oliver twists
That’s not everything, go back home to middle-east
Five year olds sell anything just to scrape enough to eat
Loyal to commodities we mostly let the devil in
Blood macbeth you in your sleep if they ever hear you win
It ain’t all smiles and peace but it’s the world we’re living in
And there’s beauty here too, i just wish that you could see
What if we could find how to rewind life
Would you wanna pullback on the hands of time
Tired of the sidelines
Give me rain, got the window pane in sight
Always stuck in our ways
Different day but its all the same sh#t
Up and down this pinball machine
Its life how its goes, are we gone be okay
We gone be alright
We gone be, okay
We gone be, alright
We gone be, more (x2)
Always stuck in our ways
Different day but its all the same sh#t
Up and down this pinball machine
Its life how its goes, are we gone be okay
Please excuse my depressions i’m a mess, all oppression makes a menace out of pain
All my demons in perspective and they all know where the hell i’m heading but hell for them ain’t hell for me their hell for me is heaven
The only time i feel relieved is writing all these letters, if you crack the code hidden within i’m trusting your discretion, back to where we left the beat go home to see the wreckage; won’t let girls rock a bikini but they make them plastic faces
Man i don’t really know if i should carry on, you might think it’s hell we’re in, but nah, we got fire alarms
It’s just the pinball machine’s ups and downs before the calm
You can find all that you seek if you can weather all the storm
I’m talking to you as if you’re really here and you could hear me
Guess i just needed to get this off my chest before it tears me
Mum and dad are well but i can tell they’re deeply hurting
I’ll make right to all my wrongs, i write so i could buy them mercy
Sorry you had to hear paze, tell you how it is
Ain’t fair of me complaining when the earth is meant to be a gift
I tell you for myself, i seen beauty in its beast
Even when it tears me down least i see how sharp its teeth
Angels’ here too but i don’t know where they’re all hiding
Though a few watch over me else you and i would reunite
This hole you left in me is getting bigger every night
Oh little bro, if only i had you here chilling by my side
But it’s life
You can find all that you seek inside the pinball machine
And it’s life
There’s ups, downs and peace and there’s pain all in between
Yeah it’s life
So don’t get run up out of time!
What if we could find how to rewind life
Would you wanna pull back on the hands of time
Tired of the sidelines
Give me rain, got the window pane in sight
Always stuck in our ways
Different day but its all the same sh#t
Up and down this pinball machine
Its life how its goes, but we gone be okay
We gone be alright
We gone be, okay
We gone be, alright
We gone be, more (x2)
Always stuck in our ways
Different day but its all the same sh#t
Up and down this pinball machine
Its life how its goes, but we gone be okay
