Hazkie - Tonight Lyrics

I'll drink a beer alone tonight
I've been running on my pride
But baby don't you worry
I'll come back home; I swear I'll hurry
There isn't blood on these old hands
There isn't dirt on my old boots
I've been going all of my life
And I think it's time I get things right
I pray to God that freedom reigns
Ease their hearts and free their pain
What I've seen through these old eyes
Has been weighing on my mind, tonight

I moved from 225, to 504, to 520
I've been out here trekking for years
And not I can trek no more
Life isn't the brightest
We're surviving so there's God inside us
Then there is the Bible
And now I am thinking why'd the authors write us
Perhaps survivors pain
Conjured things up inside their brains
Let's end these wars using warheads
Stick it out till the end
A rider rides until he dies if he does nothing else
He'll struggle in silence by your side
And never ask for help
I am facing arraignment, somebody likely helped me out
Gods in the universe the devil resides in the south
I swear I've been trying for years and still haven't made it
On this journey, while I was facing my fears
Some people faded
The past is outdated
There were times we were like brothers
We had different daddies
And all of our moms were our mothers
Some storms we faced were rougher
But the storms are what made us tougher
Regardless of the hatred, we faced our mothers loved us
Why do I drink a lot
I am all in my feelings, I swear I drank a lot
Westside Avenue C., the trailers still on the block
Our walls shook badly
When cars passed with all the bass up
Man, it is wild that I could sleep a full night
And never wake up
Reminisce in silence, it's alright
Historical motivation
Exposing every lie that's holding us up a nation
Be patient
Either we are rising or meeting the Raven

I'll drink a beer alone tonight
I've been running on my pride
But baby don't you worry
I'll come back home; I swear I'll hurry
There isn't blood on these old hands
There isn't dirt on my old boots
I've been going all of my life
And I think it's time I get things right
I pray to God that freedom reigns
Ease their hearts and free their pain
What I've seen through these old eyes
Has been weighing on my mind, tonight

Can I bust another rap again
See things got easy but now they are rough again
Baby don't hand your head we are not suffering
Things must have been popping, and if not pretend
The soul of a Soldier made it, the memories
And the old back roads have faded
This goes out to all of you all on top of the game
Who watch the poor man rise and fall
All the bricks in the hood are down
And all the blocks are gone
There is no place left to call my home
All of this happened before the storm
Doors kicked in one gunshot, and now the family's torn
A whole generation was born, two-grand ago
They claim god told them to strap themselves to bombs
Blow up anybody headed for you who's armed
And in the midst of all of this, I am supposed to stay calm
I am just a Solider who sought out in search of Soldiers
Equipped nine-millimeter holstered loaded
I had it all in my hands at one time and I know it
But when I saw my momma crying, it was time I know it
Sitting by the bridge tapping on metal
I didn't sleep last night, some dudes passed
And their music started shaking our trailer
After that, it was the horns from the train
I stayed by the tracks, due to the crack
Only a few people remain

I'll drink a beer alone tonight
I've been running on my pride
But baby don't you worry
I'll come back home; I swear I'll hurry
There isn't blood on these old hands
There isn't dirt on my old boots
I've been going all of my life
And I think it's time I get things right
I pray to God that freedom reigns
Ease their hearts and free their pain
What I've seen through these old eyes
Has been weighing on my mind, tonight

My block is heated, it is too hot so we all stay in
I am another from the Boot, I am Rob
I am here to weigh in
I see this rap game like a boxing match
When the decisions of contenders
Make the champ feel like his rights have been jacked
Some turn to this game for love
And the south is like the north and west coast
They gang-bang because
They love that life or they got bills to pay
I asked one dude, why do you hustle
He said look I've got a wife and a kid to raise
It is not my place and I'd be jumping the start gun
If I said you should not have married her that young
Maturity people, plus hard times make us come up fast
But I am not mad if you are being a dad
Because that is something most children didn't have
Sitting by the riverfront, I kick back and laugh
At all of this drama, it's smoke in the air
I sit by the riverfront and kick back and laugh
At all of this drama, it's just smoke in the air

I'll drink a beer alone tonight
I've been running on my pride
But baby don't you worry
I'll come back home; I swear I'll hurry
There isn't blood on these old hands
There isn't dirt on my old boots
I've been going all of my life
And I think it's time I get things right
I pray to God that freedom reigns
Ease their hearts and free their pain
What I've seen through these old eyes
Has been weighing on my mind, tonight
