Told me life was beautiful
Beautiful
Told me it's not all in my head
Told me I don't need to go
Need to go
Told me just to stay here instead
I told you it was beautiful because
Is what I wanted to believe
So I started to deceive
'Cause reality was grim
At least it was for me
And I knew
That the truth
Wouldn't work to favor me
My reality you see
Was a life of blasphemy
Had these demons after me
All I ever want is peace
But I cause catastrophes
When I cock the shiny piece
Give me more than 20 feet
Unless you wanna feel the heat
See I live in a place
Deep inside my mind
It's a place where I face
All these demons and they thrive
When I make a mistake
And my life is at stake
Life of crime is the aim
And the crime is against
Everything that is right
At least is what I say
It's a shame what I feel
Mentally I am ill
And there is no cure for me
Yes, I've tried everything
But it seems that I'm trapped
And my heart it is black
So
Told me life was beautiful
Beautiful
Told me it's not all in my head
Told me I don't need to go
Need to go
Told me just to stay here instead
So I kept on telling lies
Deep inside my mind
There's a place and a life
That I often fantasize
And once upon a time
I believed I could achieve
There was nothing out my reach
I could get it if I seek
But it seems in between
That my life after teen
Just a life full of schemes
And the consequence is grief
Repercussions of a thief
My reality
Ghetto poetry
Running from police
Cocking back the shiny piece
As I hustle in these streets
Trying to duck my enemies
While the po-po screaming freeze
Deep inside I wish for peace
And that is the truth that I hide
Deep inside
Stay away let me lie
'Cause the truth you couldn't take it
So let me just fake it
The image is to make it
They say life is what you make it
And I made my own bed
Illness in my head
And so I'm spitting led
Venom what I said
Told me life was beautiful
Beautiful
Told me it's not all in my head
Told me I don't need to go
Need to go
Told me just to stay here instead
Told me life was beautiful
Beautiful
Told me it's not all in my head
Told me I don't need to go
Need to go
Told me just to stay here instead
