All I ever did was put a paper to a pen/ All I ever wanted was release within/ Don’t want to be famous or need a hit/ everything will change that don’t mean I’ll quit/ I’ll just find another route no matter how I’ll fit/ never one to back down, I commit/ I can bet what you hear you aint used to yet/ I have problems of my own that I’m trying to forget/ so the radios on and I hear this riff/ I want to turn it off but instead I drift/ get lost in the music when the baseline kicks/ for a minute I’m alone and I flick that bic/ sit back in my chair, smoke and sip/ I hope I find the answers in the cancer stick/ futures in my hands so I handle it/ truth is, when I stand my legs get limp/ so I pray for strength but don’t show my pain/ weight on my heart but I aint built to break/ when you look in my eyes they’ll captivate/ I got a story to tell about love and hate/ it all lives within us I’m a God fearin’ sinner/ life after death this is just for beginners/ when I take my last breath pray God for forgiveness/ until then this pen is my witness HOOK: As I walk through the shadow of death Pray my song lives on so you never forget I’m always in your heart like the beat in your chest Through the Ink of my pen I lay my soul to rest VerseII: I lay my soul to rest as the ink dries/ secrets come alive, cant keep them when I write/ I’m deep inside my mind but its seeping from my heart/ leaking on the paper hidden like a watermark/ trying to start the fire in me when I’m too far/ music is a lighthouse guiding in the dark/ no time than right now for me to take the part/ shining like a spotlight, I can blind a star/ so I trust instinct but ignore opinions/ chasing my dreams I have ignorant feelings/ innocent as children but your heart gets tainted/ I’ll never let the world tell me I aint gonna make it/ got in the game for me and not you/ some people lose their way, politicking about who/ is the best spittin’ and that I’m gon’ prove/ ‘till then music heals my inner wounds/ HOOK: As I walk through the shadow of death Pray my song lives on so you never forget I’m always in your heart like the beat in your chest Through the Ink of my pen I lay my soul to rest VERSE: III Choices I made weren’t ever mistakes I just paved a road to an unknown place/ trapped in two worlds and I didn’t have faith/ didn’t give thanks and God took it away/I aint here to debate, I just know what I’ve seen/ I once had it all and was stripped from everything / when shit goes down, you get in too deep/ trying to find yourself while you are imcomplete/ that’s how it goes, life will take you on different roads/ I hope you still dream when your eyes aren’t closed/ learn to forgive, let live and let go/ I did and that’s when I saw my life unfold/ sometimes it took death, for me to see life/ don’t live with regrets, keep your head high/ in a world filled with beauty, I don’t want to blink twice/ soak up every moment ‘cause you cant stop time/ As you walk…
