Good Times and Dead Brain Cells

Good times and dead brain cells

YEAH

Someone told me that life is what you make it
So I'm not gonna settle for surviving on the basics
The trails and tribulations of everyday life
Bad memories about the wrongs I never made right
Grew up seeing things that I knew nothing about
The loss of family members, violence and drugs in the house
Weren't much money around
Had to get it on my own
Three kids raised by a single parent on the dole
Nothings changed much
Still living in the same town
I've been around the block and got to know my way round
I've got nothing to prove and nobody to make proud
I'm a problemed child and the world is my playground

It's like my best is never enough
Never been a quitter though I'm anything but
I just know I gotta look out for me
Nobody else cares about where we end up
Were gonna mess up
And I wanna know that its all my mistake
If there's nobody else fucking up around me there's nobody I can blame
I don't need fame
I'm not greedy I'm cool as long as I'm eating
These dudes are dumb were not doing a song
Just move along your flows weak
And I don't find all them bars about your jewellery appealing
I'm off the chain I'm not dependant on these weak links

They say better the devil you know
And you should keep your friends close and your enemies closer
I tell 'em when I get old I'll end up living alone
Cause I'm selfish and cold like pregnant women that smoke
I'm my own worst enemy I'm lost if I beat me
Angry at the world
I don't know how to stop I'm just being a product of my environemnt you could probably see
But most of my problems are a product of me
I don't need no more friends I only role with select few
Heads who have got my back and know that I got them too
Otherwise empty promises start to turn into excuses
And a new relationship could turn into your next feud
Trying to endure monotony till its pay day
If I want something better then I gotta be on my A game
Many have failed I'd have probably gone the same way
But pride made me do this shit properly just to save face
