c.o'd. - solo (the life i live) lyrics
[verse 1]
this is the story of a n-gga with a vision
in the corner, never talkin’ only listenin’
fantasizing ’bout arms and neck glistenin’
that’s how he landed on the bullies’ hit lists and
freshman year it wasn’t gettin’ any better
smokin’ herbs with the burnouts, spoken word when the term’s out, addicted and it turned out
that the best thing that could happen was to let his mama down
to get caught while smokin’ weed would lead his life to turn around
but who would’ve thought-
that a loner could upgrade to writing/riding solo/s.o.l.o
with a goal to let the people see the pain so that they’d all know?
and the sh-t he went through was probably the same as you
same thing different view
different man same truth
in every single thing he do, remembers the place he came from
kicked his true addiction, in another way he gained one
made a few mistakes but that’s expected when you play young but
[hook]
d-mn right i like the life i live
cause i went from negative to positive and it’s all (yup!)
(2x)
[verse 2]
sobriety only, love only
hear the music, see the struggle faced by the old me
get to know me, respect the man, love od
my new state of mind is more rich, gold rollie
and now i gotta watch what i say. cause i might end up rapped behind the bars like a parolee
no probation, no break, constantly waiting- for my rendezvous with hova or for my parlay with satan
in my mind these thoughts linger on for most of the time
like i’m in the middle of the pit and still fearing the climb
petrified of decline, leaning more and more toward the line
that’s my mental, believing otherwise’d be a lie
and now you realize that i’m more complex than i seem
tryna strive for success, so potently i don’t dream
anything i set my mind to will happen no matter what
cause i know what i’m capable of doing when i’m in a rut. what?
[hook]
[verse 3]
it was all good just a year ago
or so i thought and now i’m seeing much clearer so
i’m no longer ashamed of what’s in the mirror
but left the memories of screaming when they can’t hear ya
but i ain’t going back to that
tryna fit in by whatever means without seeing the aftermath
you can look and see how depressed i am
and if it wasn’t for rap, there’s no doubt that i’d still be trapped
17th century mentality, a slave to my time frame, either escape or i’m a casualty
nothing i can do to help it or can do to try. all i can do is live according to mine
and now all that’s left is to expel negative feeling
through this tape and in turn it’s self-fulfilling
the villains attempt to win by orchestrating my demise
but yolo never did have any real truth in my eyes. can ya feel me?
it’ll take much more than drugs to k!ll me and it’ll take much more light just to reveal me
color outta darkness, the whole room shines too
talkin’ 2012 epidemic, no swine flu
now back to reality. they say that mary can’t take control of you, that’s a fallacy
yeah, cause i’d have needed rehab for my body and my whole mind
and what’s worse, wasn’t aware of it that whole time
off one, still hungry with them heath bars
see now, he’s smart despite actin’ a r-t-rd
caught up in this role i’m tryna play, became the joker
give my own performance 2 thumbs down, never mind roeper
the only thing that’s not black on me now is my lungs, but i’m a smoker
a stoner too. a young thug no love
now i’m off drugs, so i see that they’re right
figured this out one night, and now i’m riding/writing s.o.l.o./solo
