Feed the Soul

Starve the ego, feed the soul

A little bit of hood and a little bit of backwoods
Mixed up with a pessimistic mindset and what do you get
Just a kid who moved from PA to Maine
Away from all the pain that lingers in that state
I'm no Eminem and I'm no G-Eazy
But I grew up on 50 Cent, Busta Rhymes, and Eazy-E
With an alcoholic path, that shit went by way too fast
Living life in the fast lane drinking away my pain
But no pain no gain, every day is the same
I feel insane, I swear to god my life's a video game
Pancreatitis for the third time, I'm way too young
I should be in my prime, outside, living my life
I don't feel like working today
Maybe Platinum 7X will take it away and make me feel okay
I'm glad I got past that part of my life
Past my pride and being drunk all day and night
But now it's all good, I thought I'd be dead by 28
But now I plan of dying of old age
I've seen the light more than once, maybe twice
But that was back then, now it's nowhere in sight
I found my niche, I'm surprised it's not in a ditch
Beautiful renovations, before and after pics

A little bit of hood and a little bit of backwoods
Mixed up with an optimistic mindset and what do you get?
A pyromaniac who went to college for a chemistry
Now in carpentry but got a grant that paid for my degree
Now that was sick, bought me my first whip
A blue Altima straight off the lot of the dealership
It was an '06 but that car was a beast
Got me from point A to B in one piece at least
My mom told me that's all I need in a car
But that was way back when things were simple
Now I got no time for things that are fickle
Through the death and pain and the pouring down rain
Through the darkest nights and the brightest days
I remember my favorite thing that 50 Cent would say
"Sunny days won't be special if it wasn't for the rain
And joy wouldn't feel so good if it wasn't for the pain."

A little bit of hood and a little bit of backwoods
Mixed up with a realistic mindset and what do you get?

The light at the end of the tunnel is a train
There couldn't be honor if there wasn't any shame
There couldn't be happy if there wasn't any pain

You know what I'm saying?
