angel on your right shoulder,
devil on your left shoulder
And you just stuck right in
Voices in your head got you
But the spirit in your heart
Conflicted souls, which way do you go?
Every day a challenge, tryna find balance
Sorta savage how we find peace
Police supposed to protect us,
We never strayed from the cold,
still spittin' the realest
what's the use in votin'?
Don't nobody up in office
Don't nobody up in Congress
Don't nobody up in Senate
care about these children
Dark days, even darker night
The stronger the soldier,
We all at war with ourselves,
Constantly waiting for mutilation
This test is got me staring
through the threshold of death
Look at me contestin' myself,
feelin' really upset with myself
If it wasn't for marijuana, man,
a nigga probably would've been dead myself
they dwindlin' in my head
Cold sweat, feelin' void, paranoid,
I'm an old guest, oh shit
I ain't so caught up in my ways
I realize that I ain't even seen
Chippin' out, leave me alone
Shhh, the devil whispers to me
Nigga, in my dreams, when I'm sleepin',
My tower, my temple, my power, my pencil
what side will you choose?
It's harder and harder to maintain
As we come to the conclusion
Pursuing real life, no confusion
Stuck in these crooked systems
Delusion, really nothing but an illusion
It's like internal warfare
Eternal battle I'm losing, oh lord, oh lord
Dark days, even darker night
The stronger the soldier,
We all at war with ourselves,
Gotta searchin' for hope,
Black rain through the game,
Heart torn from the pain forever and more
It's like we stuck between
Eternal fight, I'm still trying to
Dark days, even darker night
The stronger the soldier,
Searching for truth, reaching for the light
We all at war with ourselves,
