Grieves, CunninLynguists - Heatstroke lyrics

I said the lights don’t help these days
Chances are that if you’re 10 rows back
I can’t even see your face
I’ve been hidin in the only thing
That ever made me safe
Long enough to make me addicted
Turn it into my cage
Who the fuck wants to drink my wine?
Put the last drop on hold, honey
I don’t think I’ll make it in time
This whole game’s got me fakin a smile
And tied down to the tracks I laid
Down tryna gain an extra mile
This is all of me, another thorn-stem apology
Writin in the heat of depression
Dyin for harmony
Lost - til they find me with a
Bullet with the cross in it
Hung around my neck like somebody told
Me there’s God in it
Yeah, I guess I got a problem with reality
And never look to Heaven when the
Devil in me flashes his teeth
That’s the part of me I’m tryna change
And swing hard now, I’m breakin the chains
Now get away from me

I said the road’s so hard and rough
Said I’m tryin not to lose my way
In a world so cold and tough
So disheveled that it digs my grave
What’s holdin me down? Down, down, down
Down, down, down what’s holdin me down?
Down, down, down down, down, down

From time to time
Like Bryan, I’m a shell of myself
If I was a weaker man
I’d put a shell in myself
Either ballin on a budget or
Fallin on a deficit
Plenty of self-worth with no
Means of investin it
The blessin’s get few and far between
So I’m stressin shit lady Luck is celibate
She ain’t fuckin wit me
Hidin behind a habit
Starts to lookin mighty temptin
Hurtin behind a image
I ain’t pimpin I’m just limpin
Tryna walk it off or walk it out
That’s just what the south’s about
Handlin adversity whenever I step
Out the house whether the weather sunny or
Nastier than sauerkraut
Every endeavor takes bit's of faith
Until you left with doubt
No tears for fears, but I swear I won’t shout
Kick, scream
And strain but that ain’t gon change a thang
Big screen the game
You see but don’t feel the pain
A junkie is a cripple but he
Won’t show you the cane

I said the road’s so hard and rough
Said I’m tryin not to lose my way
In a world so cold and tough
So disheveled that it digs my grave
What’s holdin me down? Down, down, down
Down, down, down what’s holdin me down?
Down, down, down down, down, down

I got this restlessness in me
And I don’t understand
There’s no measure to this man
But I keep sinkin in that sand
How will I ever be able to grow?
Feelin like the Last Dragon and
I’m searchin for the glow
Days darker than the crow
Fly when the sky’s night
Can’t get caught up in the lows
Tryna keep my eyes white, but I smoke
Strive to do right like them flight brothas
And not just cuz them red
And blue lights love us
I’m scared to live, not afraid of law
Shit, I ain’t scared of niggas
That ain’t scared at all
But, I am scared of fate
Hope you hear my call
And ain’t no crabs in that bucket
None will share my fall
I got shackles on my feet
Hands bound to my chest
Convicted of bein a victim of self is my best
Just livin life tryna end
Up on Heaven’s guestlist or living life
Do what I fuckin feel til death it’s hard

I said the road’s so hard and rough
Said I’m tryin not to lose my way
In a world so cold and tough
So disheveled that it digs my grave
What’s holdin me down? Down, down, down
Down, down, down what’s holdin me down?
Down, down, down down, down, down
