Closed Doors

AS A YOUNGEN I WAS DUMB NOT SEEING THE MONSTER I BECOME
HIDEN BEHIND SMOKE AND MIRRORS DRINKING THIS RUM
I AINT WHO I USED TO BE, MY HEART BLACKER THEN COLE
I FOUND MYSELF TRYNING DIG UP OUT THIS HOLE
THAT I DUG HOPEN I CAN SOME HOW FIND MY SOUL
ONLY JUST TO SEE HOW IT FEELS TO BE WHOLE
FOLLOWING GREED INSTEAD OF LISTENING TO CHRIST ADVICE
GOT ME IN A WORLD OF HELL TO BE REAL PRECISE
FEELING NICE, HAD TEH DEVILS PIE AND I ATE A SLICE
THEN I SEEN THE LIGHT, COULDNT AFFORD TO PAY THE PRICE
ALMOST LOST MY LIFE, WHAT I GET FOR LIVEN TRIFE
BUT I THANK GOD I NEVER GOT KNOCKED BY THE VICE
NOW I KNOW THEM NEAR MISSES WAS GODS KISSES
ANSWERED MY PREYERS GAVE ME HOPE AND SOME WISHES
CANT BE STUCK BEHIND THIS CLOSED DOOR
SHAKEN MY HEAD CANT TAKE IT NO MORE

( VERSE 2 )
WHY THE RICH GET RICHER AND THE POOR DONT GET A DAM THING
WE THE BACKBONE, LOWER CLASS BOXEN UP THE DAM RING
WHEN AMERICAS ARMS FALL WE BEAR ARMS AND BE THE SLING
STILL THE GOVERMENT PUTS US TRHOUGH THE WRING
TREATS US EVERYDAY PEOPLE LIKE A ONE NIGHT FLING
EVEN THO WERE THE KNOT TO THE WORLDS STRINGS
WE DO THE HARDEST JOBS FOR THE LOWEST OF WAGE
HOW YOU GON GUAGE THE SELF WORTH OF A MAN IN A CAGE
SHOWEN OFF RAGE, MAN WE WORKING THROUGH OLD AGE
WE BARLY SEE PAY, OR GET TO PLAY ON THE SET WE STAGE
SOMETIMES I FEEL LIKE LIFES A LIVING GRAVE
IF YOU AINT A CEO THEN YOU JUST A SLAVE
BUT IM A NEW WAVE, SENDING SHOCK WAVES TO YO BRAIN
STAND UP MUHFUCKERS AND BREAK THE CHAINE
WE CANT BE STUCK BEHIND THIS CLOSED DOOR
SHAKEN OUR HEADS WE CANT TAKE IT NO MORE
