Lyrics
[verse 1]- S9
I use to be a nice kid sitting in school atentful
I use to sit there mind my own holdin this pencil
had school and friends down but what about my home life
something not right not there never flown right
so where, was I every single drunken night
in my room sunken outta sight, listen to them fight
praying to god Please Stop... please stop
must of been praying wrong cuz more pain is all I got
until I fell into this rap shit picked up a mic and started to spit
bout all of it, everything all the shit
alowed me to cope with this life tho it came with a price
second I touched that mic I sacrificed my life
sacrificed what I had, threw away what I woulda got
became withdrawn, started skipping school a whole lot
failed class after class starting with LA and math
thinking back, wundering what made me choose this path
[hook]- Hard Target
[verse 2]- S9
yeah keep on holdin on keep on going strong
first few of my songs I got the flow all wrong
never gave up, Rap is just where I belong
so long as I have air in my lungs ima never be gone
and putting down this mic is just not an option
gonna remain in my hand till I die boxed in this coffin
six feet deep got the whole cemetary rockin
they say the streets is talking every where I be walking
this road I chose seems to be filled with foes
walking the path where the future nobody truely knows
so blindly I follow, been hit with right blows, bloody nose
but its nothing next to the pain that nobody knows
I keep it concealed deap down inside my torso
feel like im dieing, circled by these four crows
looking down on me day to night, night to dawn
feel like my worlds about to fold, but I keep holding on
[hook]- Hard Target
[verse 3]- S9
now im not a religious man per say
but I got alot of fears that cant be explained so I still pray
so I still hold on, keep my head up day by day
try to get my life straight, just try to find my way
threw this shit filled life I leed, every night I bleed
yeah im pissed, but I got every right to be
man, if you could only see what ive seen
spent 17 years listening to theses fucking screams
like something out of a bad dream, but nope its my life
thinkin bout all the times I layed awake in my bed at night
wide eyed listening to drunks argue and break plates
fighting over stupid shit like how I was a mistake
sorry to disapoint you for being born, but im torn
between the life I once had and this new found war
the story goes on, the drama unfolds and im sorry mom
I fucked up my life but im doing my best to keep holding on
[hook x2]- Hard Target
