Starlit, Starbright, won’t you light up the night so I don’t feel lost and alone
In the dark, so I spark a cigarette, just to relieve a little bit of the pressure in my chest
From stress, even thought I’m blessed, there’s still hardship that goes along with the shit, and a nothing helps
You gotta trudge along like you’re waist deep in the mud, yeah I do it for myself, but I do it for my son
Cus nobody else on the radar, they all Haters, I ain’t got time for the shit
Cus all the clock ticks and the hands move past, I don't wanna look back and have any regrets
It ain’t easy, but this shit please me
So I keep fighting for a breath that breathes new….
Life into me, to fight another day, and find a better way to be doing my damn thing cus…
Everywhere I go I feel trapped in my skull
In a room full of people and I feel so alone
The negative thoughts just seem to multiple
It’s like they go Merry Go Round in my mind
I’m hotter than fish grease, my boiling points reached, like a kettle on this stove that’s whistling dixie
Whisk me away to a better place, I’d rather be living in Nashville than out in LA
But I ain’t a rolling stone, cus I got one of my own, where he at I’m at, ’til I’m under the head stone
When everything’s gone and it’s all stripped away and I lay my sons head on the pillow and I say,
“Trent man I love you more than anything”
All the hurt around my heart just seems to melt away
Cus the way that he loves me just cant be matched and everything in my life is secondary to that
The rapping, the bullcrap, and all that happened
I ain’t like my daddy, see, that’s whats happening
I can’t really explained to ya’ll what happened
Except that I found who I am through rapping
Everywhere I go I feel trapped in my skull
In a room full of people and I feel so alone
The negative thoughts just seem to multiple
It’s like they go Merry Go Round in my mind
