They say my life is no fun, and I’m so plain

Because there’s no Sun, yet there’s no rain

I tell them that I’m so numb, I feel no pain

There’s just an empty shell (There’s just an empty shell)

They say my life is no fun, and I’m so plain

Because there’s no Sun, and yet there’s no rain

I tell them that I’m so numb, I feel no pain

There’s just an empty shell (There’s just an empty shell)

(Well) To summarize it I'd probably compare my life to a bullet

‘Cause looking back I guess I didn't live it quite to the fullest

Took too long to take my shot. I was too frightened to pull it

Even when I had the target lined up in my sight, I just couldn't

Sit back and listen for a second. This is my confession

Once a week I'm lookin' up the definition of depression

‘Cause I'm never sure if I fit the description, but I'm guessing

If I even have to question, time to vent to my reflection

And admit my imperfections. Revisit intersections

Where my story could've gone in so many different directions

I feel more and more indifferent every time I press rewind

Most visions that left my mind are memories of better times

But I've got this lock on my chest

So it's hard for me to treasure mine

I gave the key to my heart away, and I severed ties

Staring in the mirror trippin' off the life I left behind

Then walk away from it like never mind

They say my life is no fun, and I’m so plain

Because there’s no Sun, yet there’s no rain

I tell them that I’m so numb, I feel no pain

There’s just an empty shell (There’s just an empty shell)

They say my life is no fun, and I’m so plain

Because there’s no Sun, and yet there’s no rain

I tell them that I’m so numb, I feel no pain

There’s just an empty shell (There’s just an empty shell)

These crabs tried to pull me back inside the barrel

All they got was an empty shell, so this is more or less about apparel

I was staring down a barrel of two shooters that were armed

Extended clip straight off the hip, no room there to run

But I had plenty room to think

And my life didn’t flash before my eyes

But it went straight to the manufacturers

Who designed the bullet

And sold it to the black boy on the black market?

Who pursued in the tan car and then parked it?

Three hours prior before they sparked it

They gathered loadin' ammunition in a project apartment

Then hit the streets bending corners ‘til they spot us

If it wasn’t for adrenaline they would’ve got us

I don’t know about their motives or nothing about them

All I know is that I made it home safe without a scratch

Now I’m thankin' God I get to see my kids’ faces

Look in their eyes, but all I see is empty shell casings (Dos)

They say my life is no fun, and I’m so plain

Because there’s no Sun, yet there’s no rain

I tell them that I’m so numb, I feel no pain

There’s just an empty shell (There’s just an empty shell)

They say my life is no fun, and I’m so plain

Because there’s no Sun, and yet there’s no rain

I tell them that I’m so numb, I feel no pain

There’s just an empty shell (There’s just an empty shell)

Somebody hit the liquor store and get a case of Monday

Placin' money in your sights, money over mundane

Catch me at a local venue probably watchin' Monkh play

Or tryin' to have a conversation with a bunch of junkies

I’m overqualified and often times misunderstood

I often fantasize of all the things that come from good

But then I realize the world revolves on dollar bills

And doin' too much good unfortunately gets you killed

I like to reminisce on simple times with simple rhymes

Back to when I was a kid and had a simple mind

And back when me and Gifted used to record at his momma’s

Back before our little problems and the silly drama

Ay rest in peace, dear Denise. You’re a part of my heart

Me and your son are like brothers, been that way from the start

So the day you died, I felt I lost my mother as well

I know you’ve got to make it to Heaven from going through Hell

I’m saying

They say my life is no fun, and I’m so plain

Because there’s no Sun, yet there’s no rain

I tell them that I’m so numb, I feel no pain

There’s just an empty shell (There’s just an empty shell)

They say my life is no fun, and I’m so plain

Because there’s no Sun, and yet there’s no rain

I tell them that I’m so numb, I feel no pain

There’s just an empty shell (There’s just an empty shell)
