Death Before Dishonor

I was fighting a losing battle, darkness within my soul/
The goal, get up out this hole the toll, trying to make me fold/
It's cold, when nobody covers you up thru the thick and thin/
Im told, angels are watching my every single sin/
Shit... Bruh, but I'm a grown ass man/
cnd I'll be damned if I have to become the bearer of bad news/
Cuz I've been known to change the game never did it for the fame/
You should be honored that we even sharing the same lane/
Stupid mutha fuckas, just acting a damn fool/
Can't fix a damn thing, even if you're being a tool/
Death before dishonor man I'd take a bullet for you/
I'm only being honest that's what I was raised, to do/
Who knew a lesson from the 80s would stick with a brother/
I'm getting too old for this shit but Im not Danny Glover/
We all have dreams, even if it's Not What It Seems/
I mean, chasing the green, can only poison your dreams damn/

Death before dishonor, I'll never let you down/
If I'm, just being honest, I, just don't think I know how/
To allow, you surrender fighting to my last breath/
Giving you my all till I don't have a thing left/

Death before dishonor, I'll never let you down/
If I'm, just being honest, I, just don't think I know how/
To allow, you surrender fighting to my last breath/
Giving you my all till I don't have a thing left/

I'm Sposed to, rap raw with venom flowing into my brains/
Realizing, nothing will ever be the same/
cgonizing, dealing with all this fucking pain/
Prioritising, the wrong things now I'm to blame/
On the surface, im calm and ready/
But inside I feel I'm worthless, I feel unsteady/
I see my purpose, shredding up, like confedy/
cnd it accrued, this feeling, is so familiar/
Views from the 23rd, Fuck everything you have heard/
Thinking you know the man that I am, heh, that's so upserd/
cnd so I put my head in the sand, because of her/
Not dealing with the issues at hand, it just occurred to me that verbally my message will poison people like mercury/
cm I speaking on realness or speaking upon hyperboles/
Dissecting my vocab I call that lyrical surgery/
Standing on a pedestal balancing my uncertainty/
Currently I've been feelin My back's against the wall/
Cardiac arrest because using my hearts against the law/
So when I saw the moment to appease you and leave you in awe/
People wanted to hate even wanted to break my jaw/
Even as an angel I ask how far would you fall/
To become Perfection, looking like a porcelain doll/
When did we forget that we were inspiring all/
Death before dishonor guess you didn't get a call/

Death before dishonor, I'll never let you down/
If I'm, just being honest, I, just don't think I know how/
To allow, you surrender fighting to my last breath/
Giving you my all till I don't have a thing left/

Death before dishonor, I'll never let you down/
If I'm, just being honest, I, just don't think I know how/
To allow, you surrender fighting to my last breath/
Giving you my all till I don't have a thing left/
