Cul-de-Sac Demons
[Verse 1] Posted in the cul-de-sac, tweakers in the alleyway Mama worked doubles, I was tryna find a better way School never stuck, I was stuck in a metal cage Mind full of demons, heart cold like a winter day Fast life livin’, yeah I sped through the warning signs Homies turn ghosts, now they stuck in my haunted mind Backwoods burnin’, mix the pain with the dollar signs Talkin’ real shit, I ain’t never been the watered kind Late nights, no sleep, just paranoia Every car slowin’ down might deploy ya Trust get you killed, had to learn that early Now my circle tight, everybody movin’ sturdy Still hear screams from the shit I done seen Still chase highs from the dope n the lean Still got rage, yeah it bubble n it steam But I turned that pain to a cold-ass dream [Hook] Dead end dreams but I’m runnin’ that route Smoke in my lungs, got the pain comin’ out Sirens in the back, hear the dogs when I’m out IE nights, yeah the devil got clout Dead end dreams but I’m chasin’ that bag Middle of the night, still breakin’ that glass No love in the city, just snakes in the grass If I die right now, put my name in the past [Verse 2] Grew up where the streetlights flicker n die Where the good kids fade n the sick ones thrive Where the cops roll slow n the fiends get high And the truth get buried while the fake shit fly I done seen real ones fold under pressure Seen fake ones talk like they built from a lecture I don’t trust shit but the weight of the metal And the feelin’ in my chest when I’m fightin’ the devil Palm full of pills, but I still feel numb Tryna outrun everything I become From a broke ass kid to a product of sin Now I walk with ghosts every step that I’m in Still got scars that I never show Still got pain that I never throw Into the light, I just keep it low Cali Lunatic, yeah the real ones know [Bridge] If I fall, don’t cry, just light one up Pour a lil’ liquor, let the smoke rise up I was born in the dark, never seen much love Just a lost ass soul tryna rise above [Hook] Dead end dreams but I’m runnin’ that route Smoke in my lungs, got the pain comin’ out Sirens in the back, hear the dogs when I’m out IE nights, yeah the devil got clout Dead end dreams but I’m chasin’ that bag Middle of the night, still breakin’ that glass No love in the city, just snakes in the grass If I die right now, put my name in the past [Verse 3] Now I move fast, heart beat like a drum Every bad choice still weigh a ton But I stand on it, I don’t ever run I became what I hated, now look what I done White boy rage with a West Coast twist Talk slick, get hit, I don’t ever miss Every line I spit got venom in it Every breath I take got sin up in it I ain’t proud but I ain’t ashamed Just a broken soul tryna make a name If I crash out, don’t say I changed I been this way, just masked the pain From the gutter to the grave I ride With the darkness I could never hide If you feel this shit, then you know my side Cali Lunatic till the day I die
