Dice Fall

Times change, people drift apart
The memories engraved, put in my art
Love turns to hate, jealousy and envy
I wonder why some resent me
Try to curse instead of bless me
I filled them up, yet they try to leave me empty
But I guess it's just the way the dice fall
Going through life and its cycles

See I would die for them, but they lie on him
I would ride for them, they tried to slide on him
I took the chains of them, they tried to cage me in
Word cold got hotter than a Cajun damn
I tried to lead them to the light, wanted long kiss goodnight on my life
Said I'm slick, I just shoot up off the hip on sight
Gave them a clean slate, they tried to me dirty
Showed them their worth, then they said I wasn't worthy
Home in the sky, they tried to leave me under earth V
I-C the lies every time I pull the rug
GOD on my soul they drained my energy
More than a few, dealt with this since elementary
Said I'd see young death - Be a wandering ghost, a lost soul
Or I'll be locked in penitentiaries
The scapegoat, no forgetting they remember me
Into the good night, they thought I would go gently
I shared my vision, now they're out of sight
I had to detox off that toxic diet, now I'm alright
Doing better moving clever - Reign forever
Whatever weather you just know that I'm on
King not a pawn, shining like the Sun golden
Stand tall, wont fall - Feel the pressure
Get a grip and hold on
Stay strong, the saga goes on

Times change, people drift apart
The memories engraved, put in my art
Love turns to hate, jealousy and envy
I wonder why some resent me
Try to curse instead of bless me
I filled them up yet they try to leave me empty
But I guess it's just just the way dice fall
Going through life and it's cycles

Told them I'm headed to the top they said I'm fated for the bottom
Thought I'd be left for dead and forgotten
I was coming of age, they thought I was rotting
While I was strategizing, they were plotting
Scheming trying to steal my dream and
I was on fire, they were just steaming
Weight heavy on my shoulders, they kept on leaning
I saw the sky, while they only saw the ceiling
I built the throne, now they want the crown
Spread my wings, then they tried to pull me down
More than that, they want to see me drown
Then I found my second breath under water
We cast lots, always seem to get the shorter end of the stick
Still I stand didn't split, did my math on it, put my stamp on it
The last laugh always seems to last the longest
Watching time pass through the hourglass
Dalit - damn they said I was an outcast
Bulls eye, somehow always hit the target
Thought I was behind them, then they got lapped
Thought they had mad bars, and then I rapped
Jealousy hate and envy intensified the habitat
Guess it's just the way the dice fall
Going through life and its cycles

Times change people drift apart
The memories engraved put in my art
Love turns to hate, jealousy and envy
I wonder why some resent me
Try to curse instead of bless me
I filled them up yet they try to leave me empty
But I guess it's just the way the dice fall
Going through life and its cycles

Times change people drift apart
The memories engraved put in my art
Love turns to hate, jealousy and envy
I wonder why some resent me
Try to curse instead of bless me
I filled them up yet they try to leave me empty
But I guess it's just the way the dice fall
Going through life and its cycles
