lyrics

[Stas Greekboii]
Every night I try to battle myself demons
I walk around in my bedroom like a pacing lion in this pig pen
Looking at me like I can't amount to shit, but I can
I just gotta get myself together for it to happen
I've been battling thoroughly through these struggles
Going for confession then killing these instrumentals
I need to be forgiven for my sins that been committed
God forgive me I stay true to what I have promised
Yeah, I been going through hard conflicts
Mom and Dad fighting I open my mind and start writing
I'm like the typical cat with struggles but still got pride
Nice on the outside with scars on the inside
Hop in my shoes and give my hard life a try
You'll witness all the drama fights and still feel deprived
Momma told me one thing: to keep pushing and try
I'll keep going til I get in the right state of mind

[Chorus]
I keep walking around in the night
Like I don't know what I'm gonna do with my life
I look around and look in the mirror (What's contained in the reflection?)
Try to see myself clearer (Tryna change my direction)
I keep walking around in the night
Like I don't know what I'm gonna do with my life
I look around and look in the mirror (That's how it's gotta be)
Try to see myself clearer (How clear do I need?)

[Will-Powerz]
Clearer than the fear of dark days getting nearer
I feel afraid cos the price paid's getting dearer
How do you embrace fake smiles on your face
As you give up on the chase for a better future era?
Learning from the world expecting wealth
My words effect nothing in the world except myself
In turn it wrecked my health, better than me?
You better believe it's better to be
A veteran set in a method of freedom ready to lead indefinitely
But every warrior has a weapon to bury
Looking back finding my regrets are many
The mirror of the past, like looking through stained glass
Memory can place a mask where you never intended
So any mistakes you're ashamed to tell
Remember when it happen bro you only meant well
Life can be a ride, one day you climb the next you slide
But always keep in my you gotta hold your head high!

[Chorus]
