Eyce - All That I Was For Lyrics

That's what I'd do
I'd do anything to make this right, to feel like there is something worthwhile in this life
I'd do anything to get you back, to take away these demons walking in our heads
Yea, I'd do anything, but I've been feeling weak like my body has been drained of blood as I sleep
A warrior incomplete without a sword or sheath
How can I keep us safe when there's no way for me to be what we both want and need?
This is way more than greed
Necessity driven crazy, because the lock and key are lost in poverty
My philosophy of faith is stopping me from breaking it all apart
It's all I want, you see
Can barely stop to breathe
We are both lost, knee-deep in teeth
This world is eating us alive indeed
Will these words do anything?
I want you to be freed, not afraid of a future where there is no you and me
I won't allow it
I will balance the scales without fail using every talent
Every ounce of effort to create our palace
A place to call home, our rest, our Sabbath
A holy land clear of fear and every path will steer towards anti-malice

Peace in a chalice, that's all I wanna drink
It is a challenge, way more than I want to think
Gotta make a pattern, so that we will never sink
Just like the rings of Saturn, my dream set on repeat

Time to meet your maker
Any takers will be told to freeze
Hands above your head
If you aren't dead, then get on your knees
Every pawn and thief will find the dawn is creepy as the dark
Oh, the hypocrisy! With no apologies, they'll have you hang from trees
Reaping is an art, and we're all sewing seeds
They will deem your deeds unfit
"You're living in a lie
I despise every kind of act that you try to justify as a worthy fight"
Judging the clean at night like we won't testify to that which our eyes have seen
Now, who's telling lies?
Gods will remove their guise, and we will see the size you used to be
Like me, a failure on the rise
This is all my demise
I hate that I am right
Take it all away today, so we can realize we all want the wise to be on our side
So we will never die without a compromise
Cut away the ties
Win or lose, confide in you
My pride is to choose the truth
Rush to hide from you, no, but those who hate the new flow
Don't have time to deal with those who dine on death
Oh, the best is what I wanna be for you, for me, for the art of an MC
If I ain't empty, I ain't gave enough
Too sick to spit, too tight to fit
When shoved, I push to get going
I ain't gonna sit and watch my dream slip
Flowing on this green tip
Cash me if you kid
Coloring's for crayons, kissing is for lips
Beaches are for sand, dancing's for hips
Holding is for hands, drinking's for sips
The future is for plans, my past is for whips
This music is for fans, my blood is for crips
My mix of red and blue make you wonder what the purp could ever do
Tried and true, test my view
Every boo will push me to my limit and beyond, plus ultra

Peace in a chalice, that's all I wanna drink
It is a challenge, way more than I want to think
Gotta make a pattern, so that we will never sink
Just like the rings of Saturn, my dream set on repeat
