Lyrics
Behind a smoke screen of liquor soaked lies
You don’t even know yourself behind your perfect disguise//2
The paints drippin Just another sad clown
cuz you know when some one calls you out you’ll back down//4
trying to bring me down to feel better about yourself, dude
I’m sorry but I don’t think it’s gonna help you//6
you’ve never in your life had the guts/ to do what I do
so sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up//8
you’ll never have what it takes but I do
and you’ll never have friends that aren’t snakes just like you//10
you’ll never look yourself in the eye clearly
you’ll never be able to look me in my eye and not fear me//12
in the end, g, you only played yourself
I don’t envy you the day you realize you hate yourself//14
I can only hope that somebody will help
That you haven’t burned the bridges out from under yourself//16
But when you finally wake up you probably will have done that
You’ll probably be too far gone to ever come back//18
I only have to deal with your shit for one night
But you gotta deal with the way you live your whole life//20
If I was a better man then maybe I wouldn’t hate you
But I don’t think you got anything I want to relate to//22
Theres nothing I can do to stop you from feeling hate too
… cuz That’s just what snakes do//24
(hook)
just another snake in the grass
for all the friends you had you’re a mistake from the past//2
its time to wake up and ask yourself where you’re at
and if being the person you are is worth what you have//
I’ve watched you over the years, and looking back
I wonder if you’ll ever change your crooked act/
Looking at your life with an attitude of militant blindness
I guess that’s the type of cat you have to kill him with kindness//
but as I stood on the stage and rocked my set that night
I realized the crowd aint really get that hype//2
The new songs didn’t really come out that tight
I felt my flaws being lit up like a black light//4
That’s what I get for having expectations
Now Dissin this prick is how I vent frustration//6
That snake in the grass is really fear that’s waiting
See he only symbolized everyone that might hate//and8
The flipside to this equation is just like/
The angel on my left to the devil on his right//10
It’s the positive influence in music and instruments
In loops with rythm injected into it//12
Embodied by prophets that use mics
To breathe new life into obstacles, through writing//14
Everytime I did a wack show, then hid in the back row/
Watching them do what I couldn’t just I asked for the Patience//16
…Every time I wanted to quit
Thought I could never reach the level that I wanted to get//
I had to stick it through the only way to do it
Is to breathe through an oxygen tube of their music
And old gems that get me inspired to hold pens
And when the snakes try to bite I can hold them back/
Fold them flat if they tell me I’m wack, and that’s just a snapshot of where I’m at//
(outro)
angel on my left side, devil on my right/
I have to hear em argue every day of my life//
Don’t know which is which and they always seem to switch/
Can’t trust either so I don’t believe in shit//
Devil on my left side angel on my right/
The chattering between em’s what keeps me awake at night//
They both want something and they always wanna fight/
And I don’t know what I want but I want it to be right//
