[Verse 1]
In all of my life I have been talking 'bout the bright side
Now here I am, and I'm sucking on a nail to my coffin
My own words hit me like a drive-by
I'm a nice guy, but it aches when I'm coughing
I'm wondering why I'm still fucking with the signs
I'm gone 'fore I know it if I just keep strugglin' for nothing
My own thoughts hit me like they're Mike Ty
Up again, tougher than the roughest man strugglin'
[Verse 2]
Praise Lord, I feel an awesome idea
It falls onto me, it's all so surreal
I face forward, it's clear, the grey's colored
The tears embrace love, and I'm here to chase songs that I hear
(Strugglin' wild to get the fire to light my-)
It plays loud in my ear and may not disappear
It's fateful, like Romeo, if I were to be Shakespeare
And it calls for the fear of failing
I'm trying hard, but it grows over me and halfway I'm bailing
[Chorus]
Strugglin' wild to get a dollar, but I find I'm broke
Strugglin' wild to find tobacco, but it's all been smoked
Strugglin' wild to find a guy with a lighter, but he's gone
Strugglin' wild to get the fire to light my cigarette
Light my cigarette, light my-
[Verse 3]
Days pass and I'm trapped in a maze
Strapped to a turtle I raise hands and I say it's like racetracks circlin'
That is the way, that's what I do, that's how I deal with life
But if I want to be someone I need to step it up and find my way
I have been chillin' too much, I can admit it
I should have been making a lot of shit, but I just didn't
I have two concept albums, hip-hop and indie rock
But it was too much of a struggle with smoking some fucking shit up
[Chorus]
Strugglin' wild to get a dollar, but I find I'm broke
Strugglin' wild to find tobacco, but it's all been smoked
Strugglin' wild to find a guy with a lighter, but he's gone
Strugglin' wild to get the fire to light my cigarette
Light my cigarette, light my-
