Soul on Ice

Hardest battle I done witnessed was my heart against my head
Blessed to be alive but inside I'm feeling dead
Heard Lil Jay up in that box and now I'm wishing that was me
But a week before I told him ain't no love in them streets
Hit the books and go to school, make it home in time to eat
I'm trying to make it to the top around the corner from my peak
Seen the blind lead the blind its ironic I can see
Cause I done cried so many tears its like I'm standing in the sea

I was dealing with some things I had to fix on my own
I was fighting demons, end result I ran away from home
Went to play in the jungles with the lions and gorillas
Before a butterfly, you must be a caterpillar
I can't forget who I am
Pressured made personas, I was in it for the fans
New state of mind best believe I'm chasing bands
Diamonds cut precious just to flip it by the gram
I made my money clean, but you know I got it out the mud
Niggas really in it just to get up off your funds
And to keep it real, I ain't really have no one to trust
I broke the law and made a choice to put my faith in a gun

Started running with them niggas who was bout that action
But the money came between and broke them down like fractions
I would never sell my soul for a piece of change
I put my soul on ice and ever since I never been the same
It's understood we never questioned how we came up
When things got hard, I gripped the stick and switch my lane up
I know they envy bout the way a nigga came up
Influential niggas paved the way to get my bank up
Lack of morals by young women shaking for the gram
Spent nights in the desert drawing symbols in the sand
Tried to go to sleep but it's hard to sleep through the pain
As a kid without a coat, I still played in the rain

This ain't Nike, you cant do this
I know my niggas ruthless
I'm moving like I'm booted
And I'm praying like I'm Jewish
Never lied when I said I came from the bottom
But the bottom different for every nigga that started popping
Now they wonder why I'm cold
They can't wait to see me fold
Lane switch but I'm still on the road
Lean sip and I'm still in the zone
