Where do I start
I have mo' lives than I can count
Had one too many all nighters
I head surf in these crowds
And it's hard to remember names
When erryday' you wake up in a different town
So be careful what you wishin' for
When you think noones around
Got a first contract on that contact high
Still blows my mind
Had to became more
Than became worldwide hold up
Man I went too far gotta' go back to the start
Raps in the car
Beats in the garage and rats in the walls
Never knew another crew iller than ours
We on course
Not with a few detours
But on the way I lost faith in my idols
Found Wrek damn near suicidal
See we both seen things
That'll make a thief sing like a angel in a church revival
So we did a few shows and we did a few tours
To ensure our own personal survival
This for my shortcuts and my dead ends
And my dead friends and my demons
And my lack of feelins' this evenin'
I've been meanin' to do this
Been busy makin' these hits
See we just some neighborhood kids
Tryin' to live our dreams out in this b***h
And I probably won't stop till' I'm rich
And I know that sounds selfish
Spent so much time on my muuuuse
That my girls always jealous
In the end I'm probably gonna' have some regrets
But they won't outshine my attempts
When it's all said and done we ain't here that long
Better get your feet wet
I'm treading water in the deep end
I'm tryin' to kill off all my demons
Embrace my flaws and all my defects
And my shortcuts and dead ends
I'm treading water in the deep end
I'm tryin' to kill off all my demons
Embrace my flaws and all my defects
And my shortcuts and dead ends
My shortcuts and dead ends
For my shortcuts and dead ends
Dead ends
Where do I start
I've shed more skins
Than I can count
Broke chains to run the races
Got it goin' and I never tried to change the route
Started back when I was young 93' just for fun
Even though I knew my fam would
Never doubt the plan for whatever it was I'd become
There I was writin' songs
Showed my sister she sang along
And she still sings to this day
I f**kin' love you for that we got such a bond
Ain't seen you much you moved away
But I'm thankful you ain't even out that far
I got to come and hold your newborn child
You knew more than anyone could
How I wished to sing my songs
You were there at the talent shows
And all my battles to cheer me on
We were broke but we ain't care
Ill pay rent keep your share
Buy some books buy some candy
Don't you stress big bro here
I just heard on 103 theres some comp on MTV Word )
Hey Jess watch this ima tear shit down
Wait till' they get a load of me
Took it all brought it home
Signed a deal yeah I'm on
But it ain't go down just quite as planned
I'm in the waitin' room all alone
Shelved the album joined a band
We got signed gained some fans
Lost some family made some friends
Earned some dollars they got spent
In the end I'mma try to not have me regrets
Cause I always made the attempt
When it's all said and done we ain't out here long
Better get your feet wet
I'm treading water in the deep end
I'm tryin' to kill off all my demons
Embrace my flaws and all my defects
And my shortcuts and dead ends
I'm treading water in the deep end
I'm tryin' to kill off all my demons
Embrace my flaws and all my defects
And my shortcuts and dead ends
My shortcuAnnotatets and dead ends
For my shortcuts and dead ends
Dead ends
