Syde A - Dim the Lights Lyrics

Shit amazing, I came a long way out the gutter like in the basement
I remember times when I was everybody's favorite
Unsung hero my story is missing pages
Use to being humble, my attitudes more blatant; if I told you what I've been through would you believe the statement
Pass few years hit my lowest like hitting pavement
Couple bad chicks wanna cuff me with no patience
My heart ice cold and it's empty my mind vacant
God will win this war but this battle belong to Satan
Bust a couple moves had to switch up the location
Going O.T. I ain't talking a vacation
Some family did me dirty their actions like sanitation
A nigga unbothered reminding you that I'm complacent
Pan-seared steak and you know you gotta filet it
Tryna pen a hit but I'm staring at blank pages
Smoke 'Forbidden Fruit' now I'm intuned with the Matrix
Niggas out of character I peep all the changing faces
Got some day ones that are willing to catch cases
Trading court arraignments for some funeral arrangements
Please dim the lights when I'm in this studio singing

...Must've forgotten who the f*ck I was
Or simply lost track of who I f*cking trust
That boy reckless, how many do you know could pick up right where they left it?
3 year absence and still could sound so impressive
Couldn't leave this shit guess I'm a bit over-obsessive
Fresh off the bench focused showing signs of aggression
Had to calm down with good energy too excessive
Just a small price to be paid for being expressive
...I can't even lie...I lost a lot in such a short period of time
Bunch of dudes had to prove that their strength is in numbers
But it's whatever though I'll break em down one at a time
Lost my drive to even jot down a couple of rhymes
My father died from overdosing on doing those lines
Praying for my sister and my little brother too
Addiction is out of pocket, demons critical
Selfish peers spend my earnings when I'm going through it
Can careless about your clubs bitch I'm going through it
My emotions' running high it get the best of me
I'm only human not perfect keep the stress from me
My lady tripping like I got time to be unfaithful
Hate the fact she's insecure damn the shit is painful
I ain't concerned with other broads with you I'm always grateful
Just tryna bring some peace to you and some food on the table
...I swear I could never sweat shit
I swear I love the fact that the critics are all skeptics
I swear I heard them laugh at pain on some Kevin Hart shit
I swear that they can all kiss my ass they will regret this
I ain't gotta say much hear my pain in my verses
I'm drunk swervin' contemplate if this shit is a burden
Look...same me but a smarter version
Like a virgin, give no f*cks for you niggas it's curtains
