And it's all an illusion, you know... the life you're in
This is nothing but a journey....this is the interim
Between heaven and hell, this is the mezzanine
Ain't no promise when you get there if they let you in
And I understand my mortal entity: only my legacy will last an eternity
Thoughts haunting me. Wondering how they'll remember me? Will anybody cry at my eulogy?
I Took care of those that were next to me...even Broke bread with the enemy
Beat the odds and the hand that was dealt to me. "kulu maktoub"- my destiny
Not an easy life, had my fair share of drama. I kept my loyalty..... I never snitched mama!!!
Young SHI got the soul of an old timer. Some Call it destiny, some call that bitch karma

Chorus: But I know, you might think I don't

Open your third eye so the puppets can become be the masters
Rip the strings off and turn ghost like Casper
So I keep my eyes open and my feet on the ground
Keep my head above water while they're pulling me down
They speak fantasies cuz that's what they're trying to sell
Now they're laughing all the way to the Fargo wells
Keep scheming, but I know them far too well
So they miss when they try to hit my mark....oh well
Fly like a butterfly, sting like a bee
Cuz when there's no one left, I gotta watch for me
Stay one step ahead so my eyes can see
And manage my stress, before he calls for me
Bridge: You ain't saying nothing new. Hate to break the news to you

Oh they tell you it will be ok. Now they don't wanna talk, saying we don't play
Never trust em' that's what guido say. See it's all about chips like frito lay
