Ugly Heroes – (Apollo Brown, Verbal Kent, Red Pill) – Me (Bonus Track)

I’m sitting, stressing bout this life I chose
I hope they see it when I’m up behind that microphone
I know they’ll look at me and wonder shit they wanna know
I start to question being real, did I just sell my soul?
And all I know is all I know, I’ve seen my past right
My father feeling lost and my mother read her last rites
Knowing nothing else but how to grab that glass tight
Thinking back on thoughts I was thinking bout just last night
Not sure I’m doing this for good reason
Start to think it’s a mistake, how would it look leaving?
Holding back and knowing that I’m better than
Everything I’m doing to myself, learned my lesson and…
When I’m painting that reflection
Can’t look back on it later, never leave a fucking question
You make yourself, nobody else
For better or for worse you paint that picture of yourself

Games we play

who’s keepin me from the top, me,
Yeah, it’s me
What keeps me punchin the clock: it’s me . yeah it’s me
Who runnin circles in place: me
-runnin the wrong way in the race: me
….In the end ill have to face, me:
…in the end ill have to face, me:

grinds not new to me: hustle like this day could be my
last, just consider this my eulogy back in school they
hoped they’d find a teacher that get trough to me, knew there wasn’t
Jack that they could do to me…until they booted me
I puff, puff..passed…asked to get my work in,
All I ever turned in were rough,rough, -drafts
got in with the wrong crowd,
None of us was on shit, despite,
learned to do some wrong shit
Right:
and no one told me stop Dan, no one had kahones big
enough to make me stop and, see where I was goin so
I owe it to myself, as the only one ashamed, and the
Only one who gave a fuck about who I became and,
life has a shape an it’s a circle in a square space-
-And it’s a race: to fall UP a staircase
clear case of optimism: I think I can fly fam,
Anything is mine, and who’s to blame if not: I am.
