Cookie Crumbles

I've heard Life is but a dream
But maybe it's all a bad spell
More like nightmare on E
Shout out DC and fat trell
Cause I went thru mad hell
acclimating to Baghdad's smell
And painted them streets pastel
Just weeks after my dad fell
And I remember my first kill
An how sad that felt
But I masked it well
That was the first notch add to my belt
Talking it thru with strangers
Before I read Malcom Gladwell
Revising my history
And convos had with Scott Van Pelt
And I chuckle when I think damn I made it to that NFL
I just fought for I wanted inspired by Nelson Mandel
And maybe I gave my best, truthfully I can't tell
But I do believe I fill my cup up from that same damn well

Cause I'm from VA baby Pusha T and Pharrell
I'm Getting paid by that VA cause I've been shocked by them shells
And when that trauma hits deep it leaves the bruises that swell
And It'll show you what you're made of, guess it's time to unveil, ay
And that's that way that cookie crumbles
You got that bag, but no guarantees you wont fumble
Or be a top 10 done dirty, Laramie Tunsille
Now that's that real talk in sports with out your man Bryant Gumble

I was raised on knuck if you buck
And young man go and rumble
Its hard to walk in this world
And not become disgruntled
At times your boy may stumble
While running up in this jungle
Them cross-roads can leave you jumbled
Responses start sounding mumbled
But its hard to weed out that
which now's begun to tumble
So I just remain humble
And slightly buzzed like a bumble, yeah
I'm dwelling in my Mary -Land, like Anne Arundel
Bullet proofed my home an auto
State farm don't offer that Bundle, naw
Now exercising my lobes talking the frontal
While living in California
Hair down, like I'm Rapunzel
Vision staying on that tunnel
Cause there's more cake left to funnel
Just because you got that bag
Don't mean your ass ain't gonna fumble

Cause I'm from VA baby Pusha T and Pharrell
I'm Getting paid by that VA cause I've been shocked by them shells
And when that trauma hits deep it leaves the bruises that swell
And It'll show you what you're made of, I guess it's time to unveil, ay

Now that's that real talk in sports with out your man Bryant Gumble

And I'm just speaking from experience
thought I was dreaming or slightly a bit delirious
She's looking at me, like joker, you can't be serious
And this is where the fury is because I can't get furious
She doesn't want to keep it
And I'm asking what the worry is
She said she's done the thinking
And she doesn't want to Hurry this
But aren't you slightly curious
We'll hold on thru all the blurriness
I know you're scared, and so am I
But that's what half this journey is
My words' become impervious
I'm too hurt just to burry this
The world revolves around my son
I'm something Like Copernicus
Why do I feel to burden this
No say to what the verdict is
Yet all the wrong I've done in life
I guess now that I've earned this shit

Cause I'm from VA baby Pusha T and Pharrell
I'm Getting paid by that VA cause I've been shocked by them shells
And when that trauma hits deep it leaves the bruises that swell
And It'll show you what you're made of, I guess it's time to unveil, ay
And that's that way that cookie crumble
