I’m at the bar and I’m sippin on a Jack & Coke
I’m in the corner where they allowing you to a smoke
I had a smile but in my mind trynna cope
I swear to god any other day I wouldn’t toke
But…tonight seem different
Still shaking cold sweats from my last night vision
I was 40 years old and never made it
And couldn’t write single song cuz my talent faded
But hold up! It’s just a dream better wake up!
You’re ten feet away two seconds from the breakup
You’re staring at your shorty
Like honey
I know this sound funny
But I cannot love you
Cuz I don’t really love me
You look surprised, I suggest you find another guy
Who can do more
Than just survive
Still scratching on the surface of the Devil’s pie
Was greed and pride
The only thing that’s in my eyes?
Damn…
