Live and Learn
Lord knows I've been sinning
With a halo to disguise my flaws
Saw the end in the beginning
But I don't wanna die no more
Give me a chance to live and learn
Coz I don't wanna die no more
Give me a chance to live and learn
Coz I don't wanna die no more
Give me a chance to live and learn
I've been swerving through twists and turns
Ashes sprinkled all in my soul
I have dreams of coffins and urns
Gasoline is poured in my home
I sit back and watch pictures burn
Now my memories are all that I own
Let me know what you think it's worth
Give me a penny for your thoughts and I'll split the difference I'm just tryna make this shit work
Spent weeks in my room in the deepest of blues
Then switched the mood with a disc inserted
So now when I spit these verses
I picture the kids in the midst of the turbulence
Searching for purpose
Lifting the burdens
It didn't occur that words can turn gifts into curses
I'll learn to reverse it
But how the fuck am I supposed to tell em to do better
I don't know better won't get a clue let a
Lack of self-love impact my actions now
I'm backing a bottle until it's back to blacking out
Splash the cash on bad habits
Addict
What I've become tryna' banish the baddest of thoughts
Had balance but I haven't managed to tap in
To that mind state for a minute now
Faith is diminished I'm
Chasing a sinners crown
Craving a bitter high
To sugarcoat emotions
I've been coasting hoping to float
See my fate as it's swimming by
Ain't saving me if I drown
They ask if I wanna die
It's hard to ignore those
Thoughts when they're telling you to fall so
Let me know what's the price of a poor soul
Coz
Lord knows I've been sinning
With a halo to disguise my flaws
Saw the end in the beginning
But I don't wanna die no more
Give me a chance to live and learn
(Yeah yeah, oo yeah yeah)
Coz I don't wanna die no more
Give me a chance to live and learn
(Yeah yeah, oo yeah yeah)
Coz I don't wanna die no more
Tell myself I need a couple more years
And a couple more tears shed
Couple more beers
And a couple more peers telling me
That I should quit it just so I can ignore them
Still I can't stomach thought
Of em waking up mourning
Thought that chasing a fortune would muffle the sound
Of all my insecurities but they're as loud as ever
The pounds I get are just a minor distraction
I'm under the assumption that when I get a milli
I won't have to keep justifying my actions
I made it didn't I?
And they can't say shit anymore
Am I not making a living
Off the pain that I'm living with
I spill it, then I package and distribute it
Like I couldn't a shit about who listens to it
Put every inch of myself within music
Like it's just for you but don't misconstrued
Back in the days I was an attention seeking son of gun
Fell in love with someone who didn't know that I would succumb
To my lust to escape
For a while I was stuck in my ways
And now there's no one else around but it's like nothing has changed
So- fuck running away
Just adjust to pain
And quit numbing it with substances and money and fame
If you wanted to call it quits, I guess we're one of the same
But instead of giving up we lift our head up and say
Give me a chance to live and learn
Give me a chance to live and learn
Give me a chance to live and learn
Give me a chance to live and learn
Cause lord knows we've been sinning
With some halos to disguise our flaws
Saw the end in the beginning
But we don't wanna die no more
Give us a chance to live and learn
