lyrics

You get what you give, right?
And sometimes it's a lot of trouble
See how America's now swimming in oil
The water boils
Gangsters sipping Crown Royal
Nobody's loyal
Especially when money dangles in front of 'em
Paralyse deadly venom
When up in 'em
Cause it's killing any form of friendship
Trust and partnership
You know things of that nature
Blinded by the fury of getting money and power
Everybody's living like what they have is a few hours left
To get as much as they can so it's never our
It's mine, mine, mine, mine
It's all mine
Ignoring as a team
It would have took half the time
To get twice as much
You know double up
That's the formula
But they're fucking up
Lost in the mix unable to think clear
Acting wrong because of fear
Worry they might disapear

When the storm takes over
And you think it's all over
Stay focused on The Lighthouse
And ride that thing out
Rainy days only make the sun shine brighter
If you wanna give up
Here's something to remember (x2)

I was totally told to let go
Focus on real goals man
Stop spitting flows
And quit doing you
But the one they once called the yo
Chose to hit and run the road
I can see and smell the gold
Who could've known my heroes would turn this cold
Cause the refused to hold their vows, their promise
Guess they're cowards
Don't wanna say this
But damn I'm pissed I'm just
Tired to see money changing everybody
People judging others
The life's a nightmare daily
Your own brother can turn his back on you
What you think such a sick impact can do?
Don't beg me pardon dude
Kids kill themselves massively
They can see the lighthouse but they can't reach land
They think their life's over drowning in silence

When the storm takes over
And you think it's all over
Stay focused on The Lighthouse
And ride that thing out
Rainy days only make the sun shine brighter
If you wanna give up
Here's something to remember (x2)

It's never too late mate
Life is what you make it
There'a always a way
To break outta the cage
As long as you keep the faith
So fuck the fake moves
Can't relate with whatever they have in mind
It ain't me anyway
They're fucking up my sight
Like they want me to deviate from my path
Cause they find it too hard to navigate
I'd rather throw 'em overboard
Than listen to these fucks complain
Even if they think that I'm fucking going insane

I don't know how it's gonna end
But my family's going down again
My old mom's getting tired
The hardest to follow's my brother
Whose son's an amputee
My other brother's son's a junkie
All ingredients for the recipie
There's no manual to find how to deal with so many problems
Staying strong but sometimes I can't answer the phone
My lighthouse's my music
No fall back plan
No other investment
So believe me when I say I won't give up
You say my time's up
I don't hear you man
I just can't give a fuck

When the storm takes over
And you think it's all over
Stay focused on The Lighthouse
And ride that thing out
Rainy days only make the sun shine brighter
If you wanna give up
Here's something to remember (x2)
