Empty Sidewalks Video (MV)

Life building up around me I feel like I can't escape
Pushing me to the break
Don't know how much I can take
I know death is inevitable, thinking so why wait
It's the only chance I have to get away from this mind state
Going mad
Trying to keep calm
Ending up irate
The patience needed is far beyond what I can demonstrate
Designate my place with artist
Put my art on a mantle
My scriptures' encrypted and painting images like Van Gough
But insanity's a tragedy
Cutting my life short
From this demon's endless screaming
Releasing my life force
See the price of failure
And its something I cant afford
But the sacrifice for success doesn't guarantee more
Achievement, It just may lead to worse than before
Conformed to be complacent
Mislead by the metaphor
Too hard headed to let it set in defending the other side
As they plot your demise
And set the course for gynecide

Going down this empty path
Ain't seen no one yet
I see death around the corner
Don't miss one step
Gotta move forward
Remember the day, never forget
Seeing empty sidewalks as I watch the sun set
Going down this empty path
Ain't seen no one yet
I see death around the corner
Don't miss one step
Gotta move forward
Remember the day, never forget
Seeing empty sidewalks as I watch the sun set

In an endless chase, for success
Trying to convince myself, That I'm blessed
Puffin' reefer everyday, to ease the stress
Trying to release it with every breath
Destined to see death, But still striving to live life
And you only live once
I'm not in a rush to die
Asking my mother why she got that red in her eye
I know every day's a struggle, but that's no reason to cry
Your sons defied authority
Life of a minority
Taking the narrow path accordingly
Can't afford to be
Waiting for opportunity
Forced me to make it happen
Slanging the weed, shift into crack, then turned to rapping
Earned everything I have
And I learned from what's examined
Living reckless without a plan, never could have imagined
The consequences we'd face and futures we erased
In the time we spent chasing, searching for an escape

Going down this empty path
Ain't seen no one yet
I see death around the corner
Don't miss one step
Gotta move forward
Remember the day, never forget
Seeing empty sidewalks as I watch the sun set
Going down this empty path
Ain't seen no one yet
I see death around the corner
Don't miss one step
Gotta move forward
Remember the day, never forget
Seeing empty sidewalks as I watch the sun set

On a never ending journey, not knowing my destination
Driving the wrong way running lights no hesitation
Incarceration ain't an option, stop the uncomplacent
Not on the same level, no me and you ain't adjacent
Lack the understanding to deal with what you might face
Time has been of the essence
And I have none to waste
Play your position, proceed with caution in case
You come across the next arson who's looking to spark a blaze
Living in a daze
But focused on getting paid
Looking back on my decisions, could never regret mistakes
Learned to overcome endeavors could never anticipate
Walking out the door
And having a good day
Reinvented the wheel, while I'm struggling to survive
They get rich from my hunger
And they splurge while my people die
That's why I can't just drop a hook with a punch line
Always got too much to say
When i release what's on my mind

Going down this empty path
Ain't seen no one yet
I see death around the corner
Don't miss one step
Gotta move forward
Remember the day, never forget
Seeing empty sidewalks as I watch the sun set
Going down this empty path
Ain't seen no one yet
I see death around the corner
Don't miss one step
Gotta move forward
Remember the day, never forget
Seeing empty sidewalks as I watch the sun set
