Zoned Out - Fresh C

Been walking on the tightrope between life and death

Fighting these inner thoughts for so long almost forgot who I am

You only know me for what’s on the surface

My purpose and my goals

I’ve never been shot but my heart is full of holes

I’m disappointed

I ain’t get to be the man my grandfather wanted me to be

Can’t say one of my damn family members know me or V

I say V, cause that’s my son, they left him too

History repeats itself something I promised I’d never do

Devoted my time and earnings everything to the stu

Some people think I’m out my fucking mind for what I do

If you don’t believe in yourself who the fuck gonna believe in you

Zoned out

I’m drink til I pass out

Zoned out

I’m smoke til I pass out

I’m zoned out

Find out what this life’s about

I’m zoned out

I’m drink til I pass out

Drowning my sorrows in a bottle full throttle

Doubt I’ll make it to see tomorrow

Grandma clutching on the bible saying prayers for me

While I’m hitting them high notes

No telling where I’ll go

It’s hell or the high road

Product of my environment grew up in the ghetto

Momma said let go

But how can I let go

When I witnessed the devil in the city of angels

Enemies cocked back

Bullets ricochet off my halo

Never will I let go

As long as the pain flow

Leaking through my lyrics I’m always gonna let the blood show

For some it’s motivating for others it’s painful

I speak for the have not’s the shooters and slum lords

Terrified when they gotta meet up with the landlord

Fathers never came home

All we had were some headphones, broken dreams and empty wallets

I still never lost hope

Remember eating my thoughts for lunch, sleep for dinner

Porky said rehearse your bars so your delivery better

That was my dawg and they put 6 in his sweater

12 years old holding my dead friend saying it’s gonna get better

Ain’t a damn thing you can tell me I done been through that

I survived the flames of hell you can see scars on my back

42nd & 3rd that’s where the dried blood be at

I promised from that day on I’m moving forward I’m never looking back

Tell me what the fuck you know about that

Zoned out

I’m drink til I pass out

Zoned out

I’m smoke til I pass out

I’m zoned out

Find out what this life’s about

I’m zoned out

I’m drink til I pass out

I’m zoned out

I’m drink til I pass out

I’m zoned out

I’m smoke til I pass out

I’m zoned out
