Game Over

Life is nothing, but a large over-sized struggle,
Broken into many pieces, like a complicated jigsaw puzzle,
 There's no light at the end of my complex life tunnel,
I'm stepped on, beaten up, eating words through a funnel,

No such thing as true love, all these females want is lust,
They all need a man who's paid, and treat them so rough,
Living life as a criminal, my hands always in cuffs,
Gang banger, drug dealer, must try and stay tough,

My life's so screwed up, man, its a monolithic mess,
Can't even leave my house, without a bullet proof vest,
Five oh's in my house, got a warrant for my arrest,
But as each day past, i find myself caring less,

Embarrassment to my family, got them all feeling ashamed,
Can't look me in the eye, cause they found out about my color game,
Kicked out of my house, got me roaming these streets,
Starvation comes around, I've been hungry all week,

Slinging dope, sniffing coke, popping pills makes me choke,
Not a cent to my name, god i hate being broke,
I steal the stuff that i want, and take the things that i need,
Not a night of real sleep, feel like my eye's about to bleed,

Relationship problems, making me super pissed,
Haven't talked to her in days, thought i would be missed,
But she treat me differently, like she's losing all her love,
Why would she want a guy who's always high on some drug,

Grandma's in the hospital, she can't even walk,
I saw the look on her face, she didn't even need to talk,
Her grandson's a mess up, he's a true loser,
I wanna change all for her, before i might lose her,

On my knees, praying to god, to keep my family safe,
And hope that one day, they move away from this place,
Fake friends say fake stuff, then later laugh in my face,
Life's beating me down, man, I'm losing this race,

But I'm a survivor, I'm life's game soldier,
And i rather be dead, then to hear the words game over.
