FIFTHS AND SHIFTS

Ayy, I used to drink a fifth a day,
Poppin bottles like it's fuckin play,
Damn, I was lost, but now I'm found,
Spinnin in circles, like a merry-go-round.

Drinkin liquid courage, drownin the pain,
Fuck that life, I was losin' my brain,
Cloudy vision, but I saw the light,
Swapped the fifth for the grind, now I'm takin' flight.

Damn, I was wild, livin reckless as hell,
Pourin shots, ringin that damn bell,
But the demons chased, tryin to claim my soul,
Now I'm breakin chains, yeah, I'm takin control.

Used to stumble, now I stride,
Fightin' my battles, with passion and pride,
Drownin my fears in the bottle, it's true,
Now I'm spittin' fire, breakin through.

Fuck the past, I'm here to stay,
Standin' tall, ain't throwin it away,
Damn, I was trapped, but I found the key,
Rappin' my truth, now I'm finally
me.

No more fifths, just a vision so clear,
Fuck the struggle, I'm shiftin the gear,
Damn, I've risen from ashes and grime,
This is my moment, I'm takin my time.

Let em talk, let em say what they may,
I'm a warrior now, in this lyrical fray,
Used to drink a fifth, but I've come a long way,
Fuck that life, now I'm slayin the day.

So raise a glass, toast to my fight,
From the depths of the dark to the heights of the light,
Damn, I'm alive, and I'm here to convey,
That I used to drink a fifth, but I'm livin alright.
