Tobacco Leaf

Flaming up this tobacco leaf like the green make it healthy
I'm busy lying to myself quit tryna oversell me
See I've been crying out for help
But I be soundin healthy

Yeah I be sounding healthy

Met a few humans who helped restore my faith in humanity
Just to lose their life as a casualty

Got me right back to questionin it all
Back at this drawing board feeling withdrawn
No more room to write

Was it wasted l time?
All those moments when I couldn't help but over analyze
All of those signs
Right in front of my eyes
Kuz what you feel is the prize
COULD also be death up in disguise

The paranoia kicks in when I'm not high...

Like
Go figure

I'll send this song out to some blogs but I doubt they listen
Kuz I ain't got no label backing
I'm just a single dad rapping
Multitasking for the masses

Who's dodged enough caskets in the past to be thought as untouchable

I know there's no such thing

I Learned that shit at 17
When the cuffs got squeezed

Again at 23
When my 1st plug got killed for some P's
Quick to see There's No Q&A for those sorta things
Just empty homes and broken dreams
And a baby who never gets to hear just how his daddy speaks
While these pigs just glad another thug is off them streets

And YOU wonder why your "blue lives" never mattered to me?
Shit, I swear to God that shit'll never matter to me...

The realest one is just a title of perception
Kuz I seen that same type turn rodent under question

Guess that's what happens
When you just about the cheese
Belt got all them G's
But that's a code you'll never keep

Almost said fuck it till I saw the strings
Bunch of Puppets on a stage in a land of make-believe

While real angels walk among us unseen
With clipped wings
We stress things
Like makin sure the fit clean

How quick to forget
Not being on lockdown
Felt like being free

Now we Actin like we need everything
Or it's not anything
And I see that disease and know there's no vaccine

I've been asking myself what's value?
Personally Passing through hell I saw glimpses of heaven while in battle

I know there's something bigger that's at hand here
Lord don't let me take for granted
Even when I don't fully understand it
Lord
Don't let me take this life for granted
