Down Around the Bend

The long nights And even harder days Left rigid impressions Beside the eyes on my face It's a measurement of time Between distance of space For a life spent Like I was in a race Not one spent wisely Never at an easy pace Instead I was foolish And ran it with haste Kinda like you would do If you were being chased You get my drift? Run run run Till you can't no more Then rest for less than a sec And then you run some more Run till the running is done Then at the end Realize it really wasn't that much fun Or worth it For that matter And everybody else dreams That I managed to shatter A long the way Excuse you What did I say Somebody else dreams? How the **** you got the power to do that It's easy, keep putting **** in their reach Till they ass has to come back Or they get sick Like an inevitable trap That may never end Its installed once And replays itself over and over again Passed from generation to generation And family to kin Ain't nobody an exception Not a homeboy or your best friend Every mother****er's got the potential To get they ass drug around the bend Hauled off to the asylum Or wind up in the pen For a life trapped in an under toe Fed by sin Till the end my friend
