[Intro: Skylar Grey]
[Verse 1: Spitfire]
Let's go and take a trip down memory lane
Back into the past before I rapped before I ever went insane
Before I wrote these lyrics from the thoughts up in my brain
Before I entered the ring still reading rules about the game
I was a youngin' living happy and carefree
Never had no worries couldn't hurt me I was fairly
Satisfied with my life we'd run up the block
I was 10 years old felt like I was at the top
But it seems the best things end in the worst ways
Fights and arguing would lead to be the worst days
White clouds but now the sky's turning grey
Pause all the negativity and let's just play
Keep reminiscing 'bout the happier times
Now embedded in this book of my rhymes
You are the one true decider of your fate
This my warning embrace it all before it's too late
[Hook: Skylar Grey]
[Verse 2: Spitfire]
Now what we got in the present
Box full of coal cuz the hatred you reppin'
Anger and the fury sadness alike
Filling hearts with suffering so these kids take flight
Taking all the drugs to wash the pain away
Addicting to livin' in darkness I say
Murder for money and raping for gold
Starving for smiles but no one has a soul
Yeah no one has a sole
Everybody be walking around on their tip toes
Sneaking and stabbing and ripping and clapping
Applauding the victims of permanent napping
These deaths adding up so the toll is too high
I'm stuck here remorsing still paying the price
Question my ethics what's wrong and what's right
Never giving up hope we still put up a fight
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Spitfire]
Future can't pursue it's filled with hatred and greed
Darkness fill our hearts all the people are in need
The past we reminiscing the present is cold
The future set on fire all the souls is sold
My head is spinning spiraling to my demise
In a perfect world like a phoenix I would rise
But in this terror I fear to be alive
Tonight I'm leaving this world good-bye
