You'll understand when you hear it.
Hip-Hop you can relate to, even if you dont relate.
I'm Emcee Lug. I write my own lyrics. I dont bite lines. When I spit a freestyle, it's actually a freestyle. I'll batte anyone, no matter if it's track or freestyle, because I've got the drive to win.

Story behind the song
Depression. Plain and simple
Lyrics
I’ll slit my wrists with a pen, and write with the blood Sittin' and wonderin', will my life ever be good Could I do something that helps someone other then me Or will my subtle selfishness condemn me for eternity Burnin me with hells flames, like I never felt pain It’s not helping knowing how I’ve dealt shame Cuz I sell caine, smoke cigs, and blow trees My family acts like they don’t even know me You can’t show me the way Cuz my eyes are closed I sold my soul for a mic to supply the flows I try to doze off every night with a guilty conscience But I can’t fall asleep unless I’m on shit I’m not stopping, Cuz my fate has been sealed Through the ink and the paper destiny is revealed I hope you feel what I’m sayin' so it's not in vain Cuz I can’t write these lines unless I’m in pain I’m off to bigger better places, in my mind But in reality, I just may find I’m falling behind, and I’m slipping away And I’ll never feel as good as I did today Another day goes by, they start to blend together I hide from everyone, it makes me feel better But whatever, no one really knows me anyways Chameleon personality, changin' up what I display Never come out and say anything that bothers me Almost like I don’t wanna get this stress off of me You can offer me support, but I write my problems Come back with a track if you wanna try and solve em Music is the only place I go for answers in life About half of the time those answers are right It might not work out quite how I want it to But if it gives me fuel to write a song or two Then I'll chalk it up to another lesson learned Another bridge crossed, or another page turned Another day burned in the mind of a lost soul Physically I’m here, but mentally I’m not whole I’m off to bigger better places, in my mind But in reality, I just may find I’m falling behind, and I’m slipping away And I’ll never feel as good as I did today Sometimes I feel okay, but I know I’m really not I’ve made some bad decisions now my life is really shot It’s gotten to the point where I don’t even wanna try Each day that goes by is closer to the day I that will die But I don’t cry, I’m past the point of shedding tears Wonderin’ if I’ll still be around in twenty years It’s unclear, but do I really wanna know? The way my life will end, and where I’m gonna go My face shows the stress and it gets the best of me Please take this weight off my chest so I can breathe And let me be, I don’t want the choices that you give me I’m better off on my own to put it simply So forgive me, if I let it pass through the ears I’ve lost my faith in people in the last twenty years I’ve had plenty beers in attempts to drown my sorrows I’ve given up on today but I’m still hopin for tomorrow
