One

I heard this record growing up We get our influences from all music So, I wanted to put my twist on what this song means to me One There's a soldier in the trenches of the streets No Bowie knife, no weapons Stood defenseless, hopping over fences Evading criminals, trying to do right by his What type of life is this? It's no way to live, so he strapped down Running headfirst to the drama, refused to back down He clapped back, now, he was viewed as weak Now he's viewed on these motherfucking streets A source of heat, set fire to a motherfucker You know right not to try, motherfucker Keep the heat in the tucker Won't hesitate to pull out, bring the beef to the bunker The way of the soldier Trapped in my mind All of these memories, just (fade away) Seems like this life's getting darker (every day, never lies) Camera action (fade away) I can't get away from this Darkness, imprisoning me Darkness, imprisoning me Darkness, imprisoning me All that I see, absolute horror Darkness, imprisoning me Darkness, imprisoning me Darkness, imprisoning me Darkness He embarks on a new tour He was cased up, rumbling Him and his cellie was tussling No money for a lawyer, got stuck with a PV No money on his books and his Brody and cheese Old head told him don't take no plea He fucked around, spanked out on technicality Now he think he invincible cause he done beat a body Til they caught him in the party, shot him in the gut He locked up and only got shit bagged up But he lost a lot of weight trying to get back up Now he rethinking his life and all his bad decisions Got his shit together but the streets ain't forgetting Trapped in my mind All of these memories, just (fade away) Seems like this life's getting darker (every day, never lies) Camera action (fade away) I can't get away from this Darkness, imprisoning me Darkness, imprisoning me Darkness, imprisoning me All that I see, absolute horror Darkness, imprisoning me Darkness, imprisoning me Darkness, imprisoning me Darkness On the streets he a veteran now, he done with that But there's a couple victims trying to get back He on the run, lost his legs on a train track And now he numb below the knee, where the pain at Wheelchair bound, no money for prosthetics Plus found out that he was a diabetic Stressed and depressed, homie wasn't eating right And last summer lost his sight in the heat of night Caught an infection in both of his arms Doc put him to sleep, when he woke, they was both gone Back in the day he was known as a super soldier Now we call him shampoo, head and shoulders Trapped in my mind All of these memories, just (fade away) Seems like this life's getting darker (every day, never lies) Camera action (fade away) I can't get away from this Darkness, imprisoning me Darkness, imprisoning me Darkness, imprisoning me All that I see, absolute horror Darkness, imprisoning me Darkness, imprisoning me Darkness, imprisoning me Darkness Darkness Darkness Darkness
