Clarity/Street Lights

Street lights, another city night
Strapped tight, tryna keep my sanity tonight
I'm overcome by suicidal tendencies
I Been searching but ain't got no friend in me
The devil and god rage inside my mind
It feels so familiar, like I've said these lines
Watching my life slip away as the sun rises
Could have walked another path but chose my vices

And I know that I'm the one to blame
Was I meant to carry this shame
I'll bear the burden if it relieves the pain
The hurt, the lies, all done in my name
I just wanna know if I was cursed from birth
Destined to fail, to rot in this earth
Maybe I sound dramatic, a little theatric
But feel like I'm in a matrix, if I can just crack it

Street lights, another city night
Strapped tight, tryna keep my sanity tonight
I'm overcome by suicidal tendencies
I Been searching but I ain't got no friend in me
The devil and god rage inside my mind
It feels so familiar, like I've said these lines
Watching my life slip away as the sun rises
Could have walked another path but chose my vices

Or they chose me, cause it's written in the family tree
A couple generations of broken men
Now I have a chance to bring it to an end
I'm breaking cycles of trauma, a new life begins
There's so much on the line, but I'm running low on time
Too many to let down, straighten up your spine
I do this for me, and for my nieces and nephews
Just Remember, nobody got your back, except you

Street lights, another city night
Strapped tight, tryna keep my sanity tonight
I'm overcome by suicidal tendencies
I Been searching but ain't got no friend in me
The devil and god rage inside my mind
It feels so familiar, like I've said these lines
Watching my life slip away as the sun rises
Could have walked another path but chose my vices

God tell me this isn't the end
Is this where I pay for my sins
