Life from KamaToth Cocktales by Kama & J-Toth

Choose life
Aw fuck this shit
This is life

In general, a life lived worth loving
Is in discussion for us to objectively
Question any reason this would be considered happiness
Crazy to think one who could drift out of blue glassy stream
And a straw, so easy, life passes no, flashes by
Then why do we question why, and how exactly long?
We have to change our mind
To realize life hasn't been given to us, it has been taken
And we've taking it for granted, life
The odd question, do you question?
August, a rush of heat, a dying need for something to combust
I frankly found myself in the middle of a genius maze
With a land to hold down and a new life to embark on
Yeah, it's why I partnered up
Frankly found myself in the middle of a genius maze
With a land to hold down and a new life to embark on
So I partnered up to leave one last note on the scale of power chords
Stomach ulcers and broken hearts
So what do you do, advice columns in dog training?
How is everyone so content with boredom, yeah, yeah
The army, the wars, the crazy shit around the corner
The fuckin' news? It leaves a question mark
How you choose to obtain a so-called normal life can determine
How crazy you think you actually maybe might be, or are
Can you do one thing well, like really, really well?
So what do you do well?
Such a surprise, one who knows someone who speaks
More than one language or holds one job
All my life thinkin' one was enough and it's not
I wanna switch when my heart rate sky rockets
I wanna lay down when you wanna run
I wanna run layin' down
I'm more into love, music, people, hip hop scene
Not sports, big brother is the machine
Yet, you still feel ashamed to be around the one who loves the most
Who I truly am a sign of failure to them
They want to see, in the big picture is
None of who I am right now
I know everything changes, but I also know
Giving up on the things I love is depressing to who I truly am
And regurgitating what my family wants to see
Independence from my family, accepted into the hip hop scene
Folklore sounds more exciting than a career, what God knows
Why I bleed. One day it'll all make sense
And if my success never reaches that material level
I'll know inside, that everything I did it for me
The one time in my life I contemplate turning everything to me
Faith, the music, the people
Then your family turns on me
Monkey on my back, well that would be a relief
Just considering the 220 pound cinderblocks that rest deep
Into my shoulders as of today, these words I try to respect
Gray, in your black and white world
I didn't start (in your black and white world)
A dynasty, a business scheme (in your black and white world)
Didn't have a kid at twenty-five (in your black and white world)
Stay out late, couldn't be a husband (in your black and white world)
There is something else out there for me, I dream it every night
I'm there already, helping kids, going thru what I did
Ten years straight, coping cause I did
Don't quit, find a way, some how, some way, stay on stage
And express yourself in terms you fell in love with in the first place
Now as I write this, I presently have lost support
No keys, so it seems, my pocketbook
Under a roof I never wanted in the first place
Yeah, beautiful, right?
I hadn't shed a tear in over a year
Tapped out, question everything
Reach, instructed every step I took
I'm like expensive sunglasses, always gettin' lost
Why can't a be a set of keys?
I wanna be used see? Me, me
But alone on a day with you, more than likely will consider to be
Any comparison woulda had a dream last night
I drive in circles every day cause I have nothing to look forward to
Except you. Sleep, cause everything is muddy
Thirteen thousand passive means money
Club music, this is money
I can't survive, yet this is money
Performin' it, distortin' it
I'm producin' it, I'm livin' it
This is my compromise, I did it
So for now, I just need some money
And a gun, no a job, no I just want
You did it J gimme that gun
