Toast

Toast

(album: 40RTY - 2020)

I'm on some real spit, real quick
I'm wishing folk the best, even if they wished the opposite
I hop the fence, and walked a mile, through ups and downs decide to smile
The choice is mine, I choose to grind, and I'll try, until it's fucking time
Ashes to ashes, toast, glasses to glasses
Sometimes the lick is never quick, it comes as slow as molasses
Patience, is a practice, that's perfected and mastered
And I'm a novice when it comes to this knowledge that I'm after
I'm chasing, my own dreams, as you should too with a passion
Sometimes I get distracted, side tracked, by the ratchets
It's tragic, one day you here and then you gone like it's magic
I'm just traveling through the maze, using waze like in traffic
Life's a rotten bastard, until your placed in a casket
Nothing is for certain, other than death and your taxes
In which we all pay, I'll prolly rap until I'm all gray
And forever keep it Nappy even though we all caint

Cause Sometimes I be feeling like I'm dying sometimes
Sometimes I be all up in my feelings sometimes
Window pain I be out here tripping sometimes
It's okay, it's okay ya'll

I be in my feelings sometimes
Guess that's when I'm feeling like I'm dying
They say be positive, I'm trying
But when I smile, I feel I'm lying

I know, Fishscales you good bruh you still alive
Been in this game doing your thang yet you just arrived
And better days still ahead bruh you'll be surprised
Plus you made it pass the point most others demise
I know I know
Head high chest out walk wit pride
I know
Granny died part of me died yet she go where I go
Smoking a joint fifth of bourbon spilling in car doe
I know I'm such a mess but I'm fully blessed
So much better than I was from my first arrest
So many people in this world live with so much less
Here's a toast to the folks out here living stressed

Cause sometimes I be feeling like I'm dying sometimes
Sometimes I be all up in my feelings sometimes
Window pain I be out here tripping sometimes
It's okay, it's okay ya'll

I be in my feelings sometimes
Guess that's when I'm feeling like I'm dying
They say be positive, I'm trying
But when I'm smile, I feel I'm lying
I know

I'd like to make a toast

Never had a whole lot but we made the most
Swapping goods treat the block like a trading post
Trying to get our bread up like some raisin toast
Get it... bread up, raising toast
They been shooting round the clock since May the 1st
Been trained to kill the ops since their date of birth
So when it cracks off they're gone fade you first
Cuz when it's time to pop, you're a faded shirt

Cause sometimes I be feeling like I'm dying sometimes
Sometimes I be all up in my feelings sometimes
Window pain I be out here tripping sometimes
It's okay, it's okay ya'll
Cause sometimes I be feeling like I'm dying sometimes
Sometimes I be all up in my feelings sometimes
Window pain I be out here tripping sometimes
It's okay, it's okay ya'll
