"On My Way"
  by texascity
listen to soulcast


Smoking on a swisha,
driving down the highway,
my mind so fuck upped,
I need some stronger shit,
to ease the pain.

Life got me twisted,
which way shall I go,
I only have one love for this game,
to see how much my paper grows.

Raised as a g,
I did my share of dirt,
when the bullet took my brother Kenny,
the Lord left ya boy full of hurt.

I cant sleep,
because the hate is running through my veins,
when you live for nothing,
you cant die until you stop counting change.

The streets are watching,
the hood needs a hero,
when I die,
I want to be known for making those zero’s.

I been to the pen,
and it aint nothing nice,
it’s death before dishonor homeboy,
or you pay the final price.

Fuck the police,
they only going to put you down,
I got stop snitchin on my arm,
so you cowards need to move around.

I pray to God,
hoping for better days,
He tells me to head for church,
so I grabbed my glock,
and I was on my way.

Tears in my eyes,
how could I live so long,
I only smile when I did something so wrong,
Lord send me an angel,
because ya boy needs to stay strong.

I cant take it,
I’m bout to lose my mind,
my heart is like a time bomb,
it’s bound to go off at any given time.

Been dreaming on how I was going to make it,
until I woke up,
screaming fuck that shit,
they force me to take it.

I aint going back,
the fed’s are on the chase,
they gonna have to kill me first,
before I stand before a judge to plea my case.

Here I am lord,
take me as the sinful man,
I won’t turn my back on you for nothing,
because I know I can’t.

I played the game,
with the cards I was dealt,
not once did anyone offer any help,
I stay cold inside,
I only know how it felt.

I done it my way,
aint nothing going to fucking change,
I kneel before you lord,
help me understand
The game.

They keep on lying,
I hid the pain long enough,
I think they can see me dying,
I got to go lord,
please keep my angel flying,
forgive me father for the hurt I caused you,
but I got to keep on trying.
