Alone in the night
Silhouette of a shotgun
Sights with the greenlight
Visions in my sleep of a fight for my life.
I know if I drop three the fourth ones gunna take flight.
Trained vet, strangle hold on the fright
Disciplined to sit tight. Till I got the enemy in sight.
Up till the early morning twighlight, never knowing if its tonight.
Guess you could call it paranoid. PTSD.
But it wouldn't be the first time somebody was gunnin for me.
You see I told you trained vet.
Expert with the tech.
Unique with the delivery.
Turnin foes into haunting memories.
Afghan to Iraq.
Texas to Chiraq.
The war never ends.
Somebodies always hunting
Worst enemies your closest friends
Never following the trends
Stand on my own
Nobody to call on the phone
Alone in my zone
Grown man buisness
Just me an my God
Seeing right thru a fraud
I don't need a witness.
It's between me and Allah.

But I'm not a muslim.
See the enemy an I slumpt em'.
Woulda shot em sooner
But he didnt have a luger
Won the battle but returned a loser
Hitting the bottle powdering my nose
Oblivious I was sitting amongst foes
Blind to the reality running thru hoes.
It's like their predisposed to be hoes since birth.
Times were dark and cold an I drudged the earth.
Like I was living under a curse, a mark of cain
With nobody to blame an free cocaine.
I thank God he pulled me out from those depths.
Because life felt like I was two steps from death.
With a giant hole in my chest
Came home to my mother on meth
Whole world flipped upside down
Living in a trailer in junkie town
Now it all makes sense.
The pain I felt immense.
Subjected to hell to return unwell
Figuring life out guess dope I'll sell.
But I knew it wasn't right.
Hardest thing to do is let go of people in your life
You can't save them an overtime you see who they were, so long.
Never got along just some false idea of motherly love that never existed.
Narcissism the twisted cycle of abuse.
Confused young man caught up and addicted.
Through the grace of God it shifted.
An I gained the strength to move on.
Many men defeated by the look on my face, guess it made me strong.
Livin' life in and out the city, fighting in Babylon.
