Dead Silent - Hands Tied lyrics

They don't see the message when
I send it from above
They don't get the lesson 'less it's
Coming from a thug
I say I'm the moon so they focus on the dark
Not knowing that I be really
Just reflecting off the sun
Over-saturation of every market I love
Soon as the tracks out
I'm devoured into the flood flushed out
I be climbing out gutters up into your glove
Gut feeling ain't telling me none
I don't do this for kicks
I don't do it for the fun
Sure I love the adrenaline spilling
Off of my tongue
You can celebrate with liquor for
A little bit of buzz
But limit your aspirations until it's
All said and done
But I guess wine is thicker than blood
You drink into oblivion, believe it is a must
Muster courage only when it's coming
From inside a cup
Maybe you love living among people that
Are shallow as what you front
Enough's known it really sucks to be grown
Friends dipping out really set the tone
Amended ends I should've never resewn
Now I'm on the brink of
Breaking even or breaking toes
Hollow enough to bust
I think I'm finally losing touch
Time to shift gears with a broken clutch
In a moving truck
I don't really care if you
Were made from the dust
Or raised in a pack of wolves
I wanna know who you trust
Cause I done put my faith in the wrong lives
Moon pulling in every direction
I'm swimming with all the wrong tides
Y'all don't wanna grow
I get the strong vibe
If you don't benefit my future then beat it
My shades are drawn tight
The industry is my rawhide
Cause I be sinking my teeth into everything
With the force of a shark bite
Some think I'm a failure
They're half right
But dropping out of college was a con
I defeated with both my hands tied

Hands tied trance-like
They say the game ain't been
The same since Mac died sad eyes
Snack time
Killing your favorite rapper is my pastime
Hands tied fast ride
I ain't talking bout a car
It's a fast life
I think I made a pact in my past life
Passion over everything
Passing into a landslide

Picking apart the pieces living inside of me
Checking the growing rivalry
Between what I want and what
My mind's advising me
Couple more years and I'll
Be packing up undecidedly
Passing onto the coast and I'm
Going ghost like thy holy
Present on the platter of pessimism
You play it as depression
Like your mind is a prison
Secret is well hidden
Your mindset is, the rest isn't
I wish I was living up to my word
That's a scent sweeter than fresh linen
I'm frustrated with no reason to be
I believed that I was working
Harder than the people beneath
Cause I've been plotting low
And so mischievously but all I got in return
Was slow facetious greed
Became all of the people that I hated to see
Received praise in every field
Without completing degrees
Double checked that every single
Line connected with ease
But failed to connect to fans
That digested the streams
Any way I see myself or look
At the position I'm in
I'll never feel like I can sit in my skin
Even if I had a hundred thousand listening in
I'd still be down to just
A couple of friends
Never felt pressure of this intensity
Maybe the ones that loved me most
Aren't the best for me
And I've been searching for success
Like it's a recipe
Presently second guessing my enemies
Questioning my identity cause my

Hands tied trance-like
They say the game ain't been
The same since Mac died sad eyes
Snack time
Killing your favorite rapper is my pastime
Hands tied fast ride
I ain't talking bout a car
It's a fast life
I think I made a pact in my past life
Passion over everything
Passing into a landslide
