AS I LAY. ft. Jordaine Grant Lyrics

As I stare into the window

Intakes my lungs the beautiful

Composition via crescendo

With those, lays a path that's really rugged

With some cuts and bruises

From the wolves feeding for my blood

They want me to die

It's like my body is the perfect sacrifice

For an example of what it takes

If that's the case

May I please submit a request

May my bones be used as sticks

To sound the drums for heaven's gates

Across display I place my life

Like Jesus did

But label me a Marder for my music

So they burn me at the stakes

I see the risks but still I take the stakes

A legacy is what I'm trying to make

The jewelry is temporary

You'll be back at the door

Pawning your life for what remains

In midst of glory and fame

It's a crime for what they do to us

Dangle double bills so we can sell our soul

So much of it isn't even real gold

Rest assured they'll come around to give you props

This is not a green screen

I can't display the fake at all

I've got to live for what is mine dog

I've got to live for what is mine dog

I've got to live for what is mine dog

I've got to live for what is mine dog

Come on

No days to rest

It's like my mind is mad infested

Seeing all the stress this shit had cost

Just has me drawn away

My family be thinking

That I'm mentally unstable

It's not the truth

I'm not hallucinating

It's only because I see the vision

While they got the tunnel

It's like when someone says to trust in God

When you can't see him

But still remains the faith

So why can't I imagine my career

With a large amount of faith

That shit don't make no sense to me

Drawing out my emotions

In this cheap bottle of Hennessy

It's like they rather work a nine to five

In ignorance and mad depression

It's why I've got to move away to dream of mine

To follow truly what is mine

At times your true support

Won't be from folks who are close to you

But those who took the time to read your thoughts

And see the genius in you

I promise I'm going to be a legend

Put that on my tombstone

Fuck your view of what I am because

Soon I'll be on buildings like I'm King Kong

Rest assured they'll come around to give you props

This is not a green screen

I can't display the fake at all

I've got to live for what is mine dog

I've got to live for what is mine dog

I've got to live for what is mine dog

I've got to live for what is mine

Come on
