8Ball - Thorn lyrics

Temptation talking to me
I try my best not to listen
The world fuckin wit me
Tryin to stop my ambition
And niggas talkin bout me
I know they hopin and wishing
That ima give it up or quit
But, I say fuck all these bitches
Niggas talk to much lemme tell you this
If you ain't seen where I been
You can't tell me shit
Spirit's walking with me
I close my eyes and follow i live for today
I might not see tomorrow
I heard it all before
All the lies and excuses don't
Wanna see now more
Stupid shit I throw deuces
Dog im out the door this so simple and plain
I keep it hardcore
You gon remember my name, the call me fatboy
Im such a pro at this thang the whole key
Work hard get your doe at this thang
But people look at me
Judge, before they see the man
Cash stones im losin for they deal my hand
Could you roll one up toe beneath me
The devil got a player down on his knees
I don't know why niggas think
They wanna be like me
You gotta see what I see
Before you be like me
What you live for the truth
But give nothing but pain
To anything evil for you soften your game
Words give life to the things
That we think about life is hell
We go to heaven when we make it out
Yea, im like a thorn on a rosebush
Hard and prickely and discarded usually
Unseen, the world shittin on
My hopes and dreams
Hope and dream that I can open
Up my throat and sing
Bring poetry and fly when I spread my wings
And let the world see the
Beauty in these ugly things
Scarred, like a scab, brittle and hard
Being green, and lame greens little reward
Slipping is a mistake and most
They pay for it gruesomly hideouse
So you really can't ignore it
Yo, you see them pretty motherfuckas
On the tv screen
Live and die for that fake shit on mtv
Turn the cameras off and
Watch our heroes transform
Runnin away from what real life did for em
Under the glitter and the bling
Of them expensive things
Thats where you find that truth and
Dogg that'll set you free
The real shit is the shit that
I would want for me not them fools tryin to
Copy everything they see
This I will never be
From me you'll never see
Before I do it i'll say fuck
This whole industry

Could ya roll one up smoke with me please
The devil got a player down on his knees
I don't know why niggas think
They wanna be like me
You gotta see what I see
Before you be like me
Would you live for the truth
But give nothing but pain
To anything evil puttin soft in your game
Words give life to the things
That we think about
Life is hell we go to heaven
When we make it out

Yea fuck em, fuck em, fuck em
