Battle With Myself (Radio Edit) Lyrics

I'm trying to talk me off the ledge but it's hard

I pray to God (Pray to God)

Wished for this life

Now second guessing getting involved (Kinda)

They see the moves I'm making and thinking that I be caking

But I struggle 'til I make it

You fakers must be mistaken (Maybe)

Barely scraping and all they saying is keep going (That's all?)

But when I break and run out of gas

Then who's towing? (Who)

A mistake to assume I'm fast and you slowing

Cause at the wake when you hear I passed

Then who's showing (Who's coming)

My stronger side is like stop ********

You ready to get out? Real ****** thrive in the hot kitchen (They do)

In worse circumstances, with less chances

And keep advancing (Uh huh)

And now you all hurt

Cause you feel like you ain't got the answers (Man up)

But shit life ain't fair, so suck it up

You got a chance to really be that ******

Don't fuck it up (Don't fuck it up)

Most ****** that come from where you come from don't amount to nothing

And you still putting work in so that's gotta account for something

You got a point but I'm still stressed (Still)

They say I'm real blessed, honestly I want real rest

Even if in peace

Then at least I would feel less deceased (Maybe)

If I cease to compete with a still death

I'm not suicidal but a liar if I said I ain't wonder (A little)

The devil try you

Like a rival who working to bring you under (He working hard)

I try not to become a statistic

As I'm smiling through the pain like I'm sadistic

How can I fix it

Look, I replied, we all dealing with this ****

Everybody battle demons

This ain't only some Chris **** (It's not)

No need to bare knuckle by yourself

With the hand you was dealt

A grown man, hat in hand not too prideful to ask for help

(So ask for help)

He gon' do whatever is necessary to thrive

At some point your instinct gonna kick in to help you survive

And it's not only 'bout staying alive (It ain't)

Gotta release the inner beast to feast

Then you'll come out on the other side

Look you can preach motivational speech

And try to reach, try to save, if I am by the bell

I feel like Screech (I can't win)

Always the underdog in this Cold War (Yup)

They see the brochure

And clueless bout what go on behind the closed doors (Always)

And I know you know that it's code for

Skeletons in my closet

Bet you stay away like a cold sore (Watch)

Feeling trapped, only thing missing is the parole board

And the ****** that did me dirty the ones I rode for (Damn)

Look, then they the opps

Don't give them another thought (Don't)

Don't get caught

Out here fighting these battles that can't be fought

(So just stop)

Filling the wound with salt while you hold it in like vault

Then outlined in chalk

All cause you trying to not be soft (So let it go)

Don't think that it's just talk

For miles in these shoes, I walked (I walked)

And I stalked a better life

And swooped down on it like a hawk (I did)

Never said it was easy

Make sure your soul can't be bought

If you take my advice

Watch your problems come to a halt
