Crazy

MESSY LIF3STYLE

[Verse 1]
Been slangin’ dope since I was barely growin’ facial hair
Not ‘cause I glorify the game, but ‘cause nobody else would care
Mama cryin’ in the kitchen, bills stackin’ like a curse
So I stepped inside the fire hopin’ heat make life reverse
Every sunrise means another chance to die or make a play
I don’t celebrate no W’s — I pray I make the day
Trust is just a loaded weapon pointed at my throat
Slangin’ dope, chasin’ pennies, avoidin’ ghosts

[Chorus]
Gotta keep movin’, never let the flame go cold
Every step I take got death lurkin’ in control
But I ain’t stoppin’ — I got pain that keeps me woke
Slangin’ dope, chasin’ pennies, avoidin’ ghosts

[Verse 2]
This phone ring ain’t always business — could be rats or undercover
Got my brothers in the mud, whole block suffer like no other
I done seen ‘em turn to shadows when the pressure hit the neck
Seen ‘em smile before the setup, then they shoot you for respect
My reflection look like every bad decision in my veins
Still I gamble with the reaper like this dirt gon’ bring me change
Every prayer is just a whisper that my hustle don’t get smoked
Slangin’ dope, chasin’ pennies, avoidin’ ghosts

[Chorus]
Gotta keep movin’, never let the flame go cold
Every step I take got death lurkin’ in control
Ain’t nobody savin’ me — this road is all I know
Slangin’ dope, chasin’ pennies, avoidin’ ghosts

[Bridge]
I ain’t proud of what I’m doin’ — I’m just doin’ what I can
Ain’t no fairy tale salvation for a broke and cornered man
If I stop, the whole foundation underneath my bloodline breaks
So I trade away my innocence for a chance to shift my fate
And it kills me that I’m numb to every gunshot in the night
But I’d rather die on mission than surrender without fight

[Verse 3]
The ghosts that haunt me ain’t the dead — they’re the ones I couldn’t save
People who believed in me before I drowned inside the game
Every face I turned away — every time I failed to rise
That’s the weight that rides my shoulders like a demon in disguise
Still I manifest a future — wealth beyond the dirty past
Still I dream that when I make it, I ain’t standin’ there alone at last
Until then I’m in the trenches, where regret and hunger choke
Slangin’ dope, chasin’ pennies, avoidin’ ghosts

[Final Chorus]
Gotta keep movin’, never let the flame go cold
Every step I take got death lurkin’ in control
But I ain’t stoppin’ — I got fire in my soul
Slangin’ dope, chasin’ pennies, avoidin’ ghosts

[Outro]
If the devil want my spirit, he gon’ have to fight for it
‘Cause I came from nothin’, but I’m manifestin’ more than this
I ain’t lettin’ desperation write the ending I was told
Slangin’ dope, chasin’ pennies, avoidin’ ghosts...

Slangin’ Dope, Chasin’ Pennies, Avoidin’ Ghosts
