if i ever take the time

to control my laughter

they will see my body fly

swaying from the rafter

if this pain does not subside

and if this is all there is here

let me fade into the night

watch me as i disappear

another day, another dollar, but fifty percent is gone in taxes, i see a quarter if i am lucky and that is all expenses, grinding through the day, head held high, i refuse to show weakness, but as the time flies by, all i am is weakened

never got the fair chance, to control my future, one step ahead of the law, trying to bribe a juror, and if they to take me alive, a surprise i’ll give them, i’m not going back in there, they can keep their prison

if i ever take the time

to control my laughter

they will see my body fly

swaying from the rafter

if this pain does not subside

and if this is all there is here

let me fade into the night

watch me as i disappear

sometimes you have to take the time, to contemplate the goals you’re after, and then you must determine, can you slay your masters, everyday an uphill climb, is this the time to just subside, or will you seek to save your soul, no one else can help decide

as my life blood is draining out, and i lay here on the ground, it is just another bullet scar, tossed into the lost and found, and if i ever get to my feet, knuckles clenched in pure rage, i will burn this world of lies, together we will break the cage

if i ever take the time

to control my laughter

they will see my body fly

swaying from the rafter

if this pain does not subside

and if this is all there is here

let me fade into the night

watch me as i disappear
