Alrighty, since I haven't made anything in a while I decided I needed to drop one more single for the EP mixtape, so here it is!

Lyrics:

(Hook)
I know it's a hard life, we in a recession
But look to the stars tonight, and count these blessings
Keep your head up, keep your head up
It'll be a tough road, just keep your head up
Never let up, and never give in
Just be thankful that we all still livin'
So keep your head up, keep your head up
Our time is short, so just keep your head up


(V1)
The nights are gettin' longer, but my sleep's not
Fallin' out under the sunrise, heat flop
Dreamin' hard about cash that he's got
Call it jealousy.. I call it need socks
This is real life, no one gets an easy path
Too many live without water when they need a bath
I think need to crash.. Eyes are gettin' heavy
Haven't slept all week and I been sippin' Henny
Every night the same thing, I'm an insomniac
So screw it, crack a dutch, where the bomb be at?
Smoke underneath the stars on my Pontiac
Then the zombie's back, I BEEN smoked silly
Barely back in house, but BEEN rollin' Philly's
Who's totin' milli's? Ha - Not me
But I know I'm no saint like Shockey
So for now I'll just be thankful no one's shot me

(Hook)

(V2)
There's no jury in the streets, but they holdin' court there
Just executioner's, there's no oars there
In shit creek, cats get killed if they bricks weak
See 'em peel through these sick streets
They ridin', and not just cuz there's metal stuck inside 'em
They runnin' from cats like them that might find 'em
It's crazy, I guess I should be thankful I don't do it
I wanna to shed a little light so they'll get shown through it
Damn.. To think there's millions that all stuck in it
Steady holdin' keys when they put in locks, don't fuckin' fit
It makes me fuckin' sick to see the ones that climb out
Still get shot up in drive by, not the right house
It's lights out forever, he did it all right
While his homies pitchin', he studied all night
He was gettin' straight A's till the K sprayed
So for now I'll be thankful I ain't laid to fade

(Hook)

(V3)
Back to my path, I barely I know it myself
It's lined by high grass, growin' over my belt
The pain that I've felt, ya'll probably couldn't handle
I crash and burn too fast like a wooden candle
And I'm left dismantled, fallen in a rut
Callin' out for help, but ya'll don't give a fuck
So I just stand up and walk it off by my lonely
Catchin' glimpses of the past, walkin' by the old me
The one that died slowly, that one resides only
Inside the rear view when I'm in the ride homie
I hear the echoes of the sounds of a past verse
I'm tryna let go but I'm bound by a vast curse
I gotta turn my life around, goin' last first
So I'm goin' in, evil mind is flowin' sin
Knowin' everything I'm showin' you cannot be showed again
I hear the blowin' wind, shit, I guess it's over then

(Hook)
