The other side ain't really greener

The other side ain't really greener
the streets is cold but society's meaner
Its a rough climb up out this b&*ch 
and I'm steady tryin-
constantly fighting for what's rightfully mine
and I'm already out my f-in mind
breakin my spine jus to find
Ain't nuthin at the end of that rainbow
its a low blow
so I stick that needle in my arm one more time
This life I'm livin ain't mine,
It's a complete lie
I used to shine
now I'm just blind
To the happiness I used to feel
I gota jux,rob and steal just to barely get by
and I'm ready to die
im too high 
tryna fly
wavy as  fck
and I got zero luck
so numb I can't even cry 
Been beat down so much
got no energy left to try
an with all that combined
the only lane is way outta line.
