Ropes Invincible (Ft. Tiombe Lockhart)

[Verse 1]
It's hard to get a glimpse of hope
When you against the ropes
Try to penny pinch but after bills and rent ya broke
Life it always throws a wrench like Emp at Interscope
You in the aftermath succumb to numb it with a drink or smoke
To ease the pain I sleep all day
Relieves the hangover from the E and J
Looking for a tunnels end a light to lead the way
But the shame has been ingrained into my DNA
Cause pops was a failure
Mom was on lithium
Always settled for less than the best
No one to pity 'em
No one to drop a pretty gem
At seven tied a plastic bag over my head
Like, "What's the point of getting older and dead?"
So innocent, searching for missing links
Surrounded by the carcasses of instruments
Of dreams departed hardened by the sentiments
Out of tune and sharpened by the artists who neglected it
I'm scarred by my resemblance

[Hook: Tiombe Lockhart]
Silly things
That I do to feel alive
I realize
I drink and I smoke
Scrambling for a hint of hope
My tight rope
