Xavier Battles - A Dark Boy Lyrics

I've been running from my past while I beg for forgiveness
All the pain hate and lies mama steady condescending
I've been locked up in the rooms where the walls feeling heavy
Papa got a blue Chevy
Cooking rice
You got spaghetti
Moving at a different pace
Yeah survival of the fittest
They say they messing with it
By they actions I can't feel it
I been lost up in a daze
In my mind I been gone
Reminiscing on the past still don't know what people on
I've been hustling to survival you could never understand me
Big head
Full belly
Man I think it's kind of scary
Man y'all people kinda hairy
But we crawling like the apes
People thinking it's a race
Moving fast to keep the faith
Tears rolling down my face
Cause the truth that I'd then faced
All I needed was a sample
Bitter sweet
Yeah that's the taste
I've been trying to stay composed but my life is pretty hectic
I den grew up in the jungle ain't no way you finna test me
Yeah
What you on
What you on
Lost up in my past
I been gone, I been gone
Why you wasting time
What you want
What you want
Now I'm just chilling in my zone
In my zone
What you on
What you on
Lost up in my past
I been gone, I been gone
Why you wasting time
What you want
What you want
Now I'm just chilling in my zone
In my zone
Uh
Welcome to the home of the greats
Where your mind in the sky
And your heart come in late
Wasting other people time
But no time to escape
Can't find no way
Out this place that we tamed
Got a hand to his mouth
And a gun to his brain
Steady sniping people out
But our guns ain't the same
Taking other people lives
While they die in they shame
And I'm taking out the plug
Cause this life ain't a game
But it's really all the same
Cause we thinking 'bout the past
All the people that den slayed
All the blood that den shed
All the tears that den came
All the people that's now gone
While they died on they throne
Thinking they was at home
Damn
What you on
What you on
Lost up in my past
I been gone
I been gone
Why you wasting time
What you want
What you want
Now I'm just chilling in my zone
In my zone
What you on
What you on
Lost up in my past
I been gone
I been gone
Why you wasting time
What you want
What you want
Now I'm just chilling in my zone
In my zone
What you on
What you on
I've been gone
I've been gone
I've been gone
What you want
What you want
Now I'm just chilling in my zone
Yeah
