Is there Tomorrow - Will Tell

My bills are backed up and I can’t keep track of a dollar

Each one’s fake, create more drama with my baby’s mama

I stay traumatized, contemplate on suicide

Sit alone in my room at night, sometimes break down and cry

In search of light, but I’m just being scarred by life

Trying to stand and fight in these days where we await Christ

Things are moving fast and it’s hard to maintain my grip

Cats I’m hanging with want to get drunk, act insane, and flip

Precious minutes now slips from the hourglass

I’m devoured from stress and in a process to perish fast

Can’t remain focused. I’m just a paycheck from homeless

Days of darkness feeling heartless, visions of hopeless

Losing my mind—no one can find it behind four walls

I’m in it raw for life, but don’t want to hear death call

But the halls are narrow. This world, I’m on your shadow

Put on your war apparel. We got to crumble the walls of Babel

(Is there tomorrow?) If you continue to strive

(I'm tired of suffering.) At times, we all must swallow our pride

(You feel my pain?) Got to rest, find a way to be strong

‘Cause the world is cold and the road is long

(See, everything seems hopeless.) Can’t let things keep you down

(I'm scared to death.) You’ve gone far to turn back now

(These skies are quick.) Now how it feels when your heart’s in flames

It’s tears shed, wash away the pain

I’m on the path of war, but always search for the righteous path

I might just flash—don't know if tonight’s my last

Time I’mma be alive, I was surrounded by fake friends

With fake grins who forsake they kin to make ends

Pressure of the world on my back. Refuse to fail

Ruse to prevail. Can’t break, bend over, send dudes to jail

It’s a continuous struggle in the land of bloodthirst

The youngs cursed, but what hurts: the streets are a thug’s hearse

The world has no mercy, operate on zero tolerance

Heroes' violence, the Slytherins up the serpent’s ignorance

Bitten with venom, poison flows through our vein

Infrared to the brain like game

You can’t press «Pause,» replay, or take a timeout

Put a quarter in slot, come back again when the 9s shout

When a 9 bark, a slug could penetrate any spine and heart

Lying in the dark, torn apart when his mind is sparked

(Is there tomorrow?) Only time will tell

(Don't think I’ll make it.) Living life in this living hell

(Will I be strong enough?) You’re king, done paid your dues

The ways of the world got you singing the blues

(I fight to keep my head up.) Sky’s the limit—you can have it all

(Am I born to survive?) I got your back, won’t let you fall

(I'm trying to hold on.) And even when the end is near

You must live your life without no fear

When the sun rise, will it be a… nother day of torture?

Forgive me, father. I feel I’m on the sacrificial altar

2000's coming. I heard the prediction’s Armageddon

Strong-armed and let in enemies when my palms are my weapon

We’re in the last days. The beast release plagues

Blood flows like kegs, the weak fall on they knees and beg

For mercy. I beg for sanity, through tragedies

Loads of casualties. They never captured me

Like they captured those with no identity and trapped in time

Brainwashed, made ‘em content with clothes and wine

Drinking bowls and floss, but your soul’ll be lost

Foes’ll grow in force in preparation of a holocaust

The war is on, so be careful of Satan’s spies

He’s taking lives and killing off all our allies

Visions of life: we fight to death for paradise

It can’t happen to you, but they can crucify Christ

(Is there tomorrow?) If you continue to strive

(I'm tired of suffering.) At times, we all must swallow our pride

(You feel my pain?) Got to rest, find a way to be strong

‘Cause the world is cold and the road is long

(See, everything seems hopeless.) Can’t let things keep you down

(I'm scared to death.) You’ve gone far to turn back now

(These skies are quick.) Now how it feels when your heart’s in flames

It’s tears shed, wash away the pain

(Is there tomorrow?) Only time will tell

(Don't think I’ll make it.) Living life in this living hell

(Will I be strong enough?) You’re king, done paid your dues

The ways of the world got you singing the blues

(I fight to keep my head up.) Sky’s the limit—you can have it all

(Am I born to survive?) I got your back, won’t let you fall

(I'm trying to hold on.) And even when the end is near

You must live your life without no fear
