Cheat Code - Marlon Craft

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Shouts to Ian’s beard, it looks phenomenal

Just wonderful shape-up

Look, hold up, hold up

Hold up, hold up, what it do?

I been feelin' outta place for like a month or two

I been in and outta spaces I ain’t comfortable

I been semi-functional-alcoholic livin'

I been risin', though, despite it

I been hearin' lots of riot in the quiet

I been feelin' like my life is at that point, it’s fight or flight

It’s pen and mic, it’s settle or keep appetitus

So much more than what it coulda been

All these doors, I gotta push ‘em in

I want more, but look around homie, shit, I got a lot

Would you rather cry in mansion or be singin' in the cot?

Some nights I be thinkin' thoughts, others I be thinkin' thots

Scrollin, scrollin, scrollin, stomach all in sinking knots

But yo, long as I’m never thinkin' «stop»

My spirit day to day but he gon' play tomorrow, watch, muh

I ain’t chasin' rainbows

I live in the rain;

life is more than a pot of gold

Like the way you hit them angles but I can’t stay around too long

Yo, I gotta go (gotta go!)

Ain’t nothin' out here a free-throw (free-throw!)

W could be better, homie, we know (we know!)

We been out here lookin' for the cheat codes (cheat codes!)

It was in the work all along

All along, all along, shit I couldn’t call it, dog

Wall Street, the Autobahn, problem, problem, problems dog

All the all the all the smog, everybody wanna look outside for inner peace

All exempt to our critique

So much life could be created but your attitude on condom, dog

Want the fire?

Then it’s hours that we gotta log

We created players, fuck these lil' style attributes

We bought ‘em all, what happens when we got ‘em all?

All I know’s I got a lot to prove

I’m gon' show I got a lot to lose

This world cold, we got a lot to do wit it

Tryin' be opportunistic while they tryin' to induce quittin' on honorable

missions

Told ‘em stop bein' different and they should be indifferent

I said but if we did and if we lived it like we said we would

I think that smile we been lookin' for is in the mud

I was swimmin' in the mud

I was drownin' in the liquor

I was stuck, now I’m up, yeah

Now I’m up, ain’t no cheatin' in my blood

Fuck the weakness can’t defeat this type of tough muhfucka, hold up

I ain’t chasin' rainbows

I live in the rain;

life is more than a pot of gold

Like the way you hit them angles but I can’t stay around too long

Yo, I gotta go (gotta go!)

Ain’t nothin' out here a free-throw (free-throw!)

W could be better, homie, we know (we know!)

We been out here lookin' for the cheat codes (cheat codes!)

It was in the work all along

Mirror, mirror, I don’t look like me

But would I know me if you showed me?

Mirror, mirror, I don’t look like me

Tell me whatchu know about it

If you was me, shit, tell me how you’d go about it

Dyin' to eat where the table ain’t clean, no

But clothes expensive

And the souls aren’t cheap though

I been on the offensive

Like ya’ll don’t know me, ya’ll write yo shit in pencil

My pen is my sword and I fence through this fence

You can see me I’m fightin' so hard to resent you

One taste of air I was conditioned for

So let the breeze blow, blow, blow

I won’t indulge my woes

Feel like everybody like me now but no one love me no more

They all want talk to me but don’t want me no more

If I don’t make it all the way they gon' pump me for sure

Man I know it, man I know it

Reflection in the glass so I’m pourin' man, I’m pourin'

10 close to E from all the motion, keep the tears inside

So feel like my stomach rowin' in the storm now

Already tired but they all up on my form

How can I keep ‘em satisfied when I’m worn down?

When deep inside I crave the life that I’ve torn down for ‘em just a little bit

It’s gettin' harder and harder to give a shit

I’m gettin' farther and farther from simple shit

They say you ain’t scared of fallin', you scared to jumpin'

Sometimes I’m scared and ashamed of the shit I want
