If Luck Was A Lady

They say that if it bleeds it's alive, and God created all of us

But right now at this point in time, I'm feeling discarded

As the sun hits the shades, and tiger strikes my nightmares

I'm finding all the feelings I've been searching for, alright

Here in the moment, look into my soul

Break that boundary that's empounding me to forfeit what I hold, and move past it

I keep my dreams wrapped in plastic

Retrack my past steps to catch it with my last breath

So, who wants to know what it's like,

To feel the things I touch and wipe the blood off of my life

Cause it's all broken bones here, open wounds that don't heal

Chokin on my own fears, drowning in my own tears

Human; and that's the way that I remain

Fuck fighting my beliefs and limiting what I should say

Fuck standing with my arms out, hoping I'll be saved

And fuck screaming at myself tying to make it through the day

I write life down, and it's coherent when I speak

Raise the hairs up off the back and the neck like a static cling, go

I said if luck was a lady, she'd never let me buy that drink

The tongue slipping in my eyes won't blink, and if your

God was a woman, her boyfriend would beat her kids

Now I got more scars than teenagers' wrists, and if the

Time was my father, he'd missed all of my birthdays

Drinking with his friends and now it's hurting in the worst way

And, I can say it just the way that I know

They say the pain sticks with you, I'm training to let it go

So, hold onto this one, and save it for your bad days

Open up that passion in my words to make the glass break

And, I don't know if my written words can affect you

But listen to my heart and every single breath I stess through

Come on! This is not a note to hip hop

All I'm trying to do is make that quiver on my lip stop

And, chase out the bad scent

Purpose thinks he's got me figured toward science now and I ain't even ass-checked

Tell, meet the treading water champion

The other side of happiness, the most that y'all are standing in

Raise up, and try to capture the trust

Cause I move with all my passions and extract what I must

And I move with all my people and I act when I must

To take a con-honored stab at them, peeling the rust

Now despite all of my efforts, I'll always play the low

Now, if something in this catches you, you best to let it show

I said if luck was a lady, she'd never let me buy that drink

The tongue slipping in my eyes won't blink, and if your

God was a woman, her boyfriend would beat her kids

Now I got more scars than teenagers' wrists, and if the

Time was my father, he'd missed all of my birthdays

Drinking with his friends and now it's hurting in the worst way

And, I can say it just the way that I know

They say the pain sticks with you, I'm training to let it go
