Dark Streets
• Written by ribs
Spitting it for shit’s worth, spitting til my lips hurt
Ripped shirt, shit worth, spare a dollar mister?
Thinking of the future and all i see is bridges
Jumping off or living under, either way it’s ditches
for me, until glory restores me
and brings more peace to my boring story
God, are you deaf to me? It definitely
seems like you're testing me, I'm crying out so desperately
For crying out loud, God, I’m crying out loud
I'm trying to shout, please shine on down
Heaven come save me, I’m patiently waiting
for God to explain why the Hell He’d create me?
This Hell that He made me is sure as Hell to make me
hatefully hate the fate that He gave me
I say it straightly, not kidding or playfully
I think God basically made me mistakenly
My days are wastefully wasted on wasteful things
I'm torn because sin has a taste for me
I try to keep it mellow, hitting joints like elbows
Hooked like Velcro on crooks that sell dope
I said I need to breathe leave the streets at ease
Find a release to peacefully seek
I need this: this release of demons
the ones that feed sin and eat your feelings
Lord, i thought you made all my debts forgiven?
It feels like my life needs an exorcism
I hate all my darkness, can't get a spark lit
Get my car quick, and park at the park bench
in the darkness, where I need to depart with
thoughts that I cling to and don’t want to part with
Filled to brim, and then filled again
Filled until my sin fills and spills from within
It's leaking and spilling, beginning to chill me
God make it quick send an angel to kill me
Take me home quick, I'm feeling home sick
I need my own glimpse at the Hope that I don't get
I won't miss, I promise, just get me through the gates
I'm anxious of my fate and I hate how long I wait
If God put me here on Earth, knowing that I'd feel the urge
to hear the Curse, at least let me kneel in dirt.
Instead though I'm dead cold, writing with a pencil
with lead? No. I'm writing this with red gold
My blood isn't enough, to come up with a bluff
Rhyming words is tough, it forces me to rush
All that's left to say, wait around for yesterday
That's the date I was gonna give the best away.
Today has come, it's currently tomorrow
Another week borrowed, interested in sorrow
