Back Against The Wall

(album: Sleepless Nights 1.5 - 2013)

[Chorus:]
Got my back against the wall,
My face against the wind,
They love to see me fall,
But hate to see me win,
I will not be stopped,
Patience grow within, yeah, yeah,
I'm on the outside looking in!

Oh, I'm in this shit too deep,
Deeper than the bottom of the cool Blue Sea,
Family depend on me to eat,
In order to win, I had to lose sleep.
In two weeks I get two sleep, you sleep,
Fourteen days because you're too weak!
Preach! Got homies on other sides of my two sleeves,
I good with them, new dogs lead the new fleas,
You don't know shit, only what you see,
So I scrape the roots of me on this loose leaf.
We branched out, my family got two trees,
People come and go every fall, new leaves
I'm only human, I do plea, I do breathe,
But they every time I reach a new plea.
And the people get...
Then I wanna be the best, you freeze.

[Chorus:]
Got my back against the wall,
My face against the wind,
They love to see me fall,
But hate to see me win,
I will not be stopped
Patience grow within, yeah, yeah
I'm on the outside looking in,

You try to play poker,
But I can read faces,
A king is only a king
Until he sees aces.
Got my younger hunger back,
They say keep waiting,
I put you in the hospital,
You can be patient!
I'm sick of waiting,
But that can never break focus
Still serving these affections till they take notice.
O.K., I'm reloaded, and my money is so low
I'm self-made, from the dirt up,
Now money is a... plus.
I lost my mind, let me know what it turns up,
This... got me... like I'm...
Burn money so fast I can ash it,
Bitch I go hard like clay, cashes
Do it for the lights camera action!
I'm a ride this bitch till it crashes it's casket.

[Chorus:]
Got my back against the wall,
My face against the wind,
They love to see me fall,
But hate to see me win!
I will not be stopped
Patience growing in, yeah,
I'm on the outside looking in!
I'm on the outside looking in!
I'm on the outside looking in!
