Next level lyrical insight is a moment away.
Lyrical Analysis of...
Monsters
- They say there's a monster inside all o' us.
- Always fillin' our brains with these dark thoughts.
- O' course, it doesn't help that we were taught just
- To accept that it's all right for good moments to have gone wrong, plus
- Our psyche's keep droppin' these emotional bombs on us.
- And there's no solution that any doctor can offer us.
- While we tryna find our way, gettin' tangled on the way thru all manner o' life's prolems.
- That's all we are, an intricately delicate web woven by monsters,
- That abide by strict codes o' lawlessness.
- Some o' the monsters are darker than others.
- Mine is terrifyin, there's a big chance that it'll gash yours,
- With nothin' to remain but marks left from slashed claws,
- Collapsed rubble n' blood splattered on bashed walls.
- Damn, I wish I knew what made it possess me, 'cuz it ain't as if it lacks cause.
- Wish I could escape it, but it seems that it can beat fast cars.
- Wish I could fight it, but it's so one step ahead of me that I can't even act smart.
- Sometimes feels like the only option left is clickin' my life icon 'n draggin it into the trash slot.
- I did ask for help, asked so much that I'm atheist and I even asked God.
- Still, the first thought in my head every day is what it'd be like to be alone with a gun gettin' my blast on.
- The colors of the world fade, spent so much time deep in the mind I'm gaspin' as I drown in the doldrums.
- The people I trust developed hate and I traded my heart beat for a chip on my shoulders.
- I even lost my will, my passion, my drive, and all o' my motives,
- I ain't a soldier, but at all times I gotta keep my hands where my weapons are holstered,
- The thoughts going through my mind are chillin' my spine n' my back's burdened by boulders,
- N' you expect me to perform at my best when I find it hard just meetin' society's quotas?
- N' my "friends" do nothin to deserve 'em gettin everythin' I ever dreamed of, man this rigged system is bogus!
- You gotta be cautious to not end up as another heartless victim o' the monsters who control us,
- Too distracted 'n sad to notice that a piece o' you is missin', that your body is not where your soul is.
- The worst part is that some of us who suffer from this are labelled as dangerous, just for askin' for someone to hold us,
- We search for summin' to ground us, or for some kinda purpose, but fail 'cause we constantly shiftin' our focus,
- We say "The grass is always greener!", "there's better things on the other end!", but that road always leads to bein' hopeless
- We think we in charge of ourselves and lead the paths we are on, when in fact it's the monsters that own us.
- Get called mad enough and you may actually go nuts
- Mood swings are so rushed, life can easily pass by unnoticed
- So you miss all o' the moments, but that's just a bonus,
- 'Cause they always end up wit you in atonement hopin' ery'thin comin up roses
- All while fightin emotional wars, battlin impossible opponents
- It's like hangin picture frames up in the middles o' donuts
- Nah, rather leave that sorta thing to politicians n' "grown ups".
- Despite what I spit, I really ain't violent,
- I'd never intentionally hurt a fly, an animal,
- A spider, a chick or a guy wit a surprise hit,
- I wouldn't even be caught dead lyin to kids,
- Even so, when I look in a mirror, I see summin'
- With a throat that I'd slit.
- Suppose I can count myself lucky though,
- That the only thing stoppin me from doin so, is that I'm weak.
- My only question is how long will that last?
- For real, I'm worried...
- 'Cuz it's easy to find strength at the bottom of a pill bottle,
- Or in the booze spillin' out between the shards of a cracked glass.
- For real, when it comes to trauma n' baggage your boy Algo's got the whole package,
- From witnessin burglars threatenin' my mom with a pop from a gat blast,
- To holdin in my arms the cryin' head of my boo who just got shot by a savage
- Even got duped by a girl tryna lure me into a cult when I thought our relationship was headed for marriage
- The weight of my mental is heavy enough to make liftin' my head from the pillow a challenge
