Mockton - Simple Life Lyrics

I keep a glizzy' when I'm walkin' late at night
The demons in me acting like they on my side
I'm keeping busy, I just want a simple life
Remember asking God"Can I have a simple life?"
But simple never came, I guess I ain't simple right
I put Jesus on my chain, cause he the one who saved my life
They keep wondering why I left, I just wasn't feeling right
I'm a diamond in the dirt, tryna find a way to shine
Man, I kept myself punched in, that's how I became a boss
Keep a strap with one cocked in some like sports, I'm talking jock
Told myself I'll always win, I could never take a loss
But now my mindset is I can't take wins without a loss
Talk to me like we locked in, or don't talk to me at all
Free my brothers out the pin
They ain't have guidance it ain't they fault
Living in this world of sin, It's hard not to get involved
Nowadays I get to live, cause He died up on that cross
Yeah, He died up on that cross
My Father paid the price
My Lord paid the cost
And now I'm washed by The Blood
Take me for who I am, I gave up who I was
Writing a letter to the judge like"Can you let my cousin out?"
War cries, these bullet's fly, my tears ran out, eyes in a drought
I'm praying on a daily basis, I got faith I'll make it out
Told my brothers that I love them, but I'm gone with or without
Get quiet in my head, I'm smoking loud
Can't un-hear them bullet sounds
I don't need you to believe me, but can you just hear me out
Came up different than the rest, jumped in that water, I ain't scared to drown
High school graduated, only time I ever cap n' gown
Buss it down
Working at a job, they treat me different cause I'm young and cause I'm brown
Suck it up, I'm getting this money, I can't let my brothers down
Hit a crazy shift, then throw up, P-Town
I got me a bitch that f*ck me good and hold it down
Too much on my mind, stop callin' my phone
Just leave me alone
I ain't pointing at no pictures
F*ck a therapist, bitch, I'm grown
Text moms, apologizing
Raised me right - where I go wrong?
