Tom Pepe - Dead Man Walking lyrics
[Tom Pepe - Dead Man Walking lyrics]
I've seen
(I see) this dead man walkin' down the street
You could hear it out his headphones
Knocking to a beat
But my spirit won't let go
Talking in my sleep
Got me feeling like a dead
Man walkin' down the street
Bass and treble so clear, face the devil
No fear try and
(trying to) reach a new level, no bezzles
No beer feel success so close and
I'm steppin' so near
But, I'm drifting like a ghost
Hearing whispers in my ear
I could smoke a fat blunt
Make it all disappear
I've been sober for a month
Longest break in four years
I was driving eyes closed, no change
No gears
Put the throttle to the floor while it rains
Don't steer i just bottled up my pain
Acting like I Don't care
Take a bottle to the brain
'till my body ain't there
Demons hollerin' my name
Dreams swallowed down the drain
And you probably do the same
And one year felt like I lost everything
So hollow, no longer a role model
Cause my brother turned
Six and who else he got to follow
But a dead man walkin' down the street
You could hear it out his headphones
Knocking to a beat
But the spirit won't let go
Talking in my sleep
Got me feeling like a dead
Man walkin' down the street
Like a dead man walkin' down the street
Got me feeling like a dead
Man walkin' down the street
I don't even know my name
No life is so painful no one plays nice
But that's just how the game goes
Tryin' to live it right
But, I'm seeing no angels
Tryin' to live it right, but look, look
I'm sick of living in my head
Barely getting out of bed my mind clutter
But this beat is like the butter to my bread
I either make it to the top or
Drop dead in the gutter instead (and stare)
I never really heard what my mother said
I freestyle with the best and
Never stutter with the lag
Cause when I write the right bars
They get stuck inside the back of your head
In fact I'm dead already
Rappin' like it's mom's spaghetti
The weight lifted
But damn that piano's heavy
And Rand's gifted, thank God that he
Let's me, ice his beats
Call me Lil Wayne Gretzky
Righteous with my knowledge and politics
I'm a lefty fresher than commercials
Double pit's to chesty i could be the best
But understand that God test me
Learned to be a man
Let them blue and whites arrest me
Asking how I feel
Feel like everybody left me
Looking for the real
Well I'm in the Northwest Scene
A dead man walkin' down the street
You could hear it out his headphones
Knocking to a beat
But the spirit won't let go
Talking in my sleep
Got me feeling like a dead
Man walkin' down the street
I don't even know my name
No life is so painful no one plays nice
But that's just how the game goes tryin' to
(tryin' to) live it right
But, I'm seeing no angels tryin' to
(tryin' to) live it right, but look, look
I've seen
(I see) this dead man walkin' down the street
You could hear it out his headphones
Knocking to a beat
But the spirit won't let go
Talking in my sleep
Got me feeling like a dead
Man walkin' down the street
(I see) this dead man walkin' down the street
You could hear it out his headphones
Knocking to a beat
But my spirit won't let go
Talking in my sleep
Got me feeling like a dead
Man walkin' down the street
