fuck that bright shit
the spot or the flashlights 
we in la ducking both 
in the shadows with lead pipes 
the days are all night

see if i pay edison
no medicine
these blues ain’t more better when
my fever rise in the jungle 
as quick as the price spikes
the days are all night

my future snapped like a rubber band
off my fold on a hand to hand
he drew from his waist
i put two in his roof
and i can still hear his screams 
all night 

now they ride their portfolios 
like rodeos
rise every time my cherry glows
on the end of my cig as 
the smoke blows through the bars
and the co’s laugh fades
as he strolls away 
says i gotta pay 
off that roll away 
or its fuck your visitation days
and i pop off so in solitaire 
i dream of offing these fred astaires 
and the skin off my fingers tear 
we digging for windows here 
where the days are all night 

this city’s a trap my partner
under the lights of they choppers
bodies tools for they coffers
not worth the cost of our coffins
i stare at a future so toxic
no trust in the dust of a promise
won’t mark the name on a ballot
so they can be free to devour our options 
and just like you I’m a target
ill defined by the guap in my pocket
but the stage make figures 
as quick as it off em 
what marley  and pac get? 
i put these caps in capitals 
leave minds blazed in they capitols 
i step with a fury so actual fact 
that my offense could be capital 

we digging for windows here

Lyrics written and performed by NotForgotten

Verse 1: 

it's hard to break even when the odds are fixed 
since I's a kid--taught to live my dreams 
but it's like breathin' without oxygen 
--need a cpap to help the sleep apnea 
we gag on fake facts--they feed 'em back to us 
battling the establishment--smash the machine to fractured bits 
----my last ditch--got an 'A' for effort 
if only my--tape cassette could say the same 
I'd get some acclaim 
keepin' grubby hands out my lane--I guess I'm McClane 
--rap game's--my Nakotomi Plaza 
--I tip-toe through broken glass 
to rescue my oldest passion 
bet it all against the house in the hopes it'd let me out 
--then I folded--forget me now--I always throw in the towel 

Hook: 

up against all odds 
my attempts to rise 
from the depths of this depression 
have gone sideways 
place respect in the method 
and roll the dice--(like) 
playing roulette with a weapon 
can't hedge your bets on your life 

up against all odds 
my attempts to rise 
from the depths of this depression 
have gone sideways 
place respect in the method 
and roll the dice--(like) 
playing roulette with a weapon 
can't hedge your bets on your life 

Verse 2: 

I got a lot to give--but I gotta get my take 
& can't live----off--experi--ence--on a resume 
it's curious--how us workin' stiffs are gettin' paid 
while executives--are leveragin' for their percentage raised 
if a nine to five--job--can't provide a livin' wage 
this inequity's--the recipe--for societal decay 
it's beyond all reasonable explanation 
like--sensory deprivation's--effect on the mind 
and--memory--of its patients 
so what's the over/under on an overachiever 
who's broke and overly eager to throw a rope for the reaper? 
you can play the hand your dealt----or take a chance--rebel 
create your own luck----pony up----advance yourself 
that's my gambler's tell--infidel--produce stanzas well 
I'm just trying to set a positive image 
but the odds of me winning are beginning to look impossibly slim 
follow me into--this den of sin--let's pocket these ends 

Hook: 

up against all odds 
my attempts to rise 
from the depths of this depression 
have gone sideways 
place respect in the method 
and roll the dice--(like) 
playing roulette with a weapon 
can't hedge your bets on your life 

up against all odds 
my attempts to rise 
from the depths of this depression 
have gone sideways 
place respect in the method 
and roll the dice--(like) 
playing roulette with a weapon 
can't hedge your bets on your life 

Verse 3: 

a heart's the only thing of value--lowest score wins 
play my cards close--to my aortic valve--I'm all in 
--all bets are off--check the pulse--and call again 
the low roller--with no dough, blowin' the vault's lid 
I plan to run it--press--my luck like a panic button 
take fat chances on bad hands--til house advantage 
disrupts it--every breaking point's--connected 
--by a fixed line--of credit 
it's a system--designed to keep you imprisoned by debt 
they'll let it ride--'til you're dead inside 
--then arrive to collect (and) 
death is the ultimate price--still I'm rollin' the dice 
--the cost of living a tumultuous life 
--you can make all of the right moves 
and follow concise rules 
but it's the law of probability--still--that you might lose 
the hardest lesson that I had to learn 
you can pass your turn--or take it 
either way--you crash and burn 
still trying to get that backdraft deferred 

Hook: 

up against all odds 
my attempts to rise 
from the depths of this depression 
have gone sideways 
place respect in the method 
and roll the dice--(like) 
playing roulette with a weapon 
can't hedge your bets on your life 

up against all odds 
my attempts to rise 
from the depths of this depression 
have gone sideways 
place respect in the method 
and roll the dice--(like) 
playing roulette with a weapon 
can't hedge your bets on your life
