CASINO ROYALE / THANK YOU

(album: LIFE IN HELL - 2022)

This is how I intend
This is how I intend

Casino Royale
Leave the game soaking wet before I throw in the towel
If my bets serve me right, I'll be here for a while, seen them run through a cheque, they were here for a mile
They were here for a sec, you know how it gets, but the sun's gonna set
Everybody's got regrets, everybody see's the codes, only some gonna get it
These digits ain't forever
The spirit that's forever
I gotta stop being humble
I became a Lion inside this concrete jungle
Generational wealth, you see it, I broke off the curse
Can't come round tryna flex floors I'mma show you I'm worse
You could come round tryna break bread, I could break off for word
I could show you my wealth
Artistically on a killing spree I'm Damien Hirst
That small talk is restricting me, I paint out my hurt
It's the mystery, the myth's for me, yeah, keep them concerned

Just how I intended
Just how I intended
I say the best gift on Earth is being present
Set my life up like it's seventh heaven
You only get one shot, I got my MAC-11

I, I, I, I, I, I just wanna say thank you, thank you, thank you
I just wanna say thank you, thank you, thank you

Came a long way got some clarity and it's pristine
When I recollect, coulda had a baby at fifteen
Something saved me because I know now it's meant to be
I thank my pain for putting the strength in me
I thank my pain for keeping me numb
I thank my baby for showing me how to love
I been going crazy thinking about my past
Thank you to who made me, I was meant to last
Thank you for the violence, thank you for the scars
Thank you for the paranoia, not knowing who to trust
Look how that turned out, I'm exactly who I thought
Looking back at the lifestyle and the damage that it caused
I was too real, I was too honest, could be dying on my word
I was twenty-one when I had the feeling that my time was gonna come
I was out the mud like a blood diamond that's not shining no more

I just wanna say thank you, thank you, thank you
I just wanna say thank you, thank you, thank you
