[Verse 1]

I write my gospels

Tobacco smoke blowing through my nostrils

Fly chicks n cologne

High level testosterone

Bumpin mad bass and blast treble

Fully on the gas pedal

Perhaps several bottles in the trunk

Two of them drunk

Weed smelling like skunks

Girls is fucking like some catholic nuns

Taking thirties when we snatch and run

Passing blunts

As least we having fun with it

Cops keep running in to stop us

Corrupted youths, cups of booze

We gotta choose between

Living straight or bottles

We give n take from both models and follow

Only what isn't fake

It's like we're living in a prison

Thats making all the rules

Id rather die in solitude

And swallow truth

Instead of lies we getting into

It's simple

We only kids handling biz

Fuck friends that only know what family is

They're part of my team

Sometimes I think it's hard to succeed

With all this trouble goin on

Bitches puff weed

No such thing as innocence anymore

Let the henny pour

Cause we think there's plenty more

That's just how we do

Kush clouds at every session

Few of them coked out

I hate to have to see this shit

When I scope out

Get to the dope house

Fucked up and weeded

I thought the good life

Blessèd with breath

Is all they needed

But now I see a missing piece

A trip to my epiphany

And hope that one day

Things will change

When I'm looking Through the Scope

[Hook] (2x)

Life Through the Scope

Lights, buddha smoke


[Verse 2]

You learn a few things

From a corrupted lifestyle

See them rolling up the white owls

Middle finger iced out

And flossing it

Inhale some oxygen

Mixed with the smoke aroma

Ripped up diplomas

This is what the scope will show ya

I'm sitting on the moon

A quarter million miles from earth

Started as a child at birth

It seems wild at first

Then we've grown to better things

Some will turn fiends

Young souls will turn to ghosts

And I've learned this from the scope

Hold it tight

Keep it close to my mind's reach

But time keeps slipping

So I'm wishing for all my people to listen

Watch through the broken, stained lenses

And you'll see

A shattered state of being

Lifestyles and living dangerously

We all claim to be something other than ourselves

But we closet it

Putting this persona on the shelves

Stay positive

Recognize the wisdom that it tells

Something else

With a different approach

Looking Through the Scopes

[Hook] (2x)

[Outro] (2x)

If time make me blind

Then I'll see

A missing piece

Of my design that let's me rest in peace

A trip to my epiphany

And hope

That one day

Things will change

When I'm looking Through the Scope
