The Abyss 05:22
[Chorus]: Find myself again Oh, I will find myself again Oh, I will find myself again When I return from the abyss ...repeat 4x [Verse]: Should I do it for the money? Or do it 'cuz I like it? Or should I do it for the honey that all these bees will bring me? Should I even try to fight it? (I don't even know anymore) Is going to the club still the move? Is it still cool to have a big crew? Or should I try to keep my circle tight since all these snakes bite? (I don't even know anymore) [Channel]: Man, they lookin' at me funny (crisis, crisis) as I struggle with these (choices, choices) Should i chop these hittas off? (isis, isis) Should I even listen to they (voices, voices) Cuz my vision's kinda blurred I'm second guessing what I've heard Cuz I'm finding out that all these hittas ain't real I'm seeing thangs like I just popped a pill So now I'm tripping 'cuz i [Pre-Chorus]: Just turned 25 the other day Guess that's why I feel this way Am I too old, or am I too young? Can't remember when life begun Or did it begin? Or is it on its way? Guess I'll just cool out an liberate all these theories so I don't ask why I gotta find my life and [Chorus]: ...repeat 2x [Verse]: Should I go? Or should I stay? My feelings are conflicted Yet, I'm feeling real restricted No growth, no movement And all these suckas seem to make it Even though they need improvement (and speaking of suckas) Just because you stick your hand out do I really got to give you dap? And all these n----s runnin' 'round makin Trap Music are they really from the trap?? (I don't even know anymore) [Channel]: Man, they lookin at me funny (crisis, crisis) As I struggle with these (choices, choices) Should I chop these hittas off? (isis, isis) Should I even listen to they (voices, voices) See, now my vision's kinda blurred I'm second guessing what I heard Cuz now I'm finding out that all these hittas ain't real Messing up my mind like I just popped a pill So now I'm tripping 'cuz I [Pre-Chorus]: Just turned 25 the other day Guess that's why I feel this way Am I too old, or am I too young? Can't remember when life begun Or did it begin? Or is it on its way? Guess I'll just cool out an liberate all these theories so I don't ask why I gotta find my life and [Chorus]: ...repeat 2x ...fade out
4.
{Chorus}: Fireballs, balls of fire Staring through my soul It ain't righteous Can you tell me why your eyes so cold? Cold as winter, freezing my soul Balls of fire, balls of fire [Verse]: Excuse me miss I wasn't stealing, I was browsing My cousin just moved Thought I'd buy something for her Stopped to pick up something nice A couple of rugs, a couple drapes just to add a little spice But your looking at funky Head cocked to the side With your funky attitude I just got inside You wouldn't even greet me Why does my skin affect the way you treat me? [Channel]: On and on and on the cycle goes Wild Irish Rose shall never bloom again The same old sin destroys our men Pin the tail on the donkey What's the cure? What's the cure? [Chorus]: ... [Vamp]: I feel the heat I feel the heat I feel a heater ...repeat 8x
5.
[Verse]: Never had this dream before Never even seen that store Don't remember blacking out Guess that comes with a cost (hey!) Where did everybody go? Wish somebody told me "No!" Now I can barely see Can't tell what's going on (hey!) I pray the Lord forgives me sin I pray that when He comes again He will let me enter in Don't want to be one of the lost (hey!) Try to tell these folks what's good But I think I'm misunderstood Maybe 'cuz my speech is slurred (...Gibberish...) [Chorus]: Wake up in a cold sweat Feeling like I lost a bet I thought that I was gettin' it But I'm really losing it I'm living life in a corvet With my mind orbit It only takes one time of neglect to end up in a car wreck ...fade out
