angel on your right shoulder,
devil on your left shoulder
And you just stuck right in
Voices in your head got you seeing red
But the spirit in your heart
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 nights
The stronger the soldier,
Searchin' for truth, reachin' for the light
We all at war with ourselves,
Constantly waiting for mutilation
This test is got me starin'
through the threshold of death
Look at me contestin' myself,
feelin' really upset with my self
If it wasn't for marijuana man
a nigga probably would've
they dwindlin' in my head
Cold sweat, feelin' void, paranoid
I'm an old guest, old shit
I ain't so caught up in my ways
I realize that I ain't even
Chippin' out, leave me alone
Shhh, the devil whispers to me
Nigga in my dreams when I'm sleepin'
He non -stop temptin' me, sheesh!
Pray to God that he be my stronghold
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 this crooked system, still losing,
winning nothing but an illusion
It's like internal warfare,
I'm losing, oh lord, oh lord
Dark days, even darker night
The stronger the soldier,
We all at war with ourselves,
Gotta searching for hope,
Black rain through the game,
It's like we stuck between
I'm still trying to find the good in people
Dark days, even darker nights
The stronger the soldier,
Searchin' for truth, reachin' for the light
We all at war with ourselves,
