[Verse: Braidz]
The other night I couldn't sleep, I was rested in my bed
Saw some shit that made me think of everything I am
It's been a long hard road - gotta get this off my chest
'Cause when I look in the mirror starting to see reflections of my dad
I never would have fathomed that I'd grow to be this
I used to be against this life - the 'Dro and Speed hits
Guess it all started at 7, when I broke to pieces
Got booted to Dad's joint, seen smoking, needles...
Mum was 'gonna drown me that night in a dam
I remember pulling over she was crying and mad
That's a confession I never thought I'd write in my raps
Then I had to go and live my life with my dad
I was in a house with no rules, man it was so cool!
First time I smoked weed - stole it out of his dope room
I was 15 hitting speed with my folk too
Acted Lower Class, then eventually - No School
My apologies to all the kids who failed it too
I'd sit and make a fool 'cause shit it made me cool
But nobody would learn 'cause they were busy with me
All they ever learnt is what a fucking dickhead I'd be
Looking back now those were horrible moves, shit
As a youngin' doctors said I'd be an Honor Roll Student
I let that A.D.H.D better me, I faded out at seventeen
And aimed for rep on every street with a mate who deck's amphetamine's
Then paper found the pen it seems - I strayed from the Graff
Always known to Beatbox, that changed into Rap
Posted up on Forums while Developing Threads
That's where I met a dude named Hop' who wasn't relevant then
I started battling and made my way into the Aussie Scene
Realized I sounded shit unrehearsed and not on a beat
The first dude I flopped against's the first dude who fucked with me
Shout's to Gen RhYme ain't gotta Ask we though we were sick like Allergy's
Really in the shit like Felonies, I though I got my Bars Locked
Started to craft songs that went fucking hard - Not
Dropped New Years in '08 and they hated my tracks
I used to be "the shit", now I take that shit back
But it got me off the streets like a sewer flooding
I never really held a job it felt like I was finally doing something
I'd get hate from heaps of dudes above me
Shaken, like that juice ain't bubbly
Put myself in a Coupe, like I had a fucking Clue or something
Acted like a living legend now I cannot mix with any-
-Body in the scene I made a rookie move and hit a dead end
Now a bunch of people want to kick my head in...
Shit was 6 fucking years ago, Kid's forget it...
But I had the nerve to shit talk brethren
Cold burns - Like winters heavy
All that talking big got me in lots of shit, Pathetic
I'm forced to pave my own path from that intersection
Now I've come to the realization Hip-Hop has turned me Schizophrenic
I used to blame this disease formed in my head on the dope buds
Guess I kept my friends close, and my enemy closer
I don't even know why I'm letting you know but
I had to get this all out or else my ending was over
A few months back I wasn't handling this shit
Ran away from home, cops found me standing on a bridge
I was totally deluded, they dragged me off of it
Perfect, they wanna lock me up again got C.A.T Teams on the kid
And I just lied my way out of it - like I usually do
The shit the doctors said? The only truth in the room!
I've always tried to hurt myself there's bruises to prove
But I never thought the worst would come from music I do
I had the biggest of balls - for the neutered-est dude
And it made the scene hate me, I'm a loser to you's!
Made all the stupidest moves, ended up losing my crew
Now my friend count ends out fewer than few
Best mates all started beef I'm left to pick up the pieces
I'm ready to say fuck it, throw this Jigsaw and leave it
So there's not much in life that I'm living to be with
Whenever I'm feeling down I just think of my Nieces
I guess that I'm just feeling tired of this shit
Whenever I go out I think people eyeing off the kid
At least every day you live it's like you die a little bit
I don't even know why my fans admire me, I'm sick...
So don't cry a little bit if you hear I've splattered my brain
I'll be doped up when I go because I'm out of the pain...
