[00:09.49]Now here we go into the mode of an unknown
[00:11.86]Alone an aboriginal
[00:13.33]A mode of only hoping what'll make the money blow
[00:16.19]But only music seems to soothe our soul when I'm low
[00:18.65]Then my bro told me to rap I didn't think that would go
[00:21.65]How to do it my mind was in the ruins
[00:23.67]I was lookin' for nothing till I started drinkin' the fluid
[00:26.55]The alcoholic movement got my grind groovin' and movin'
[00:29.35]My writin' even fluent it's like the rap was my student
[00:32.39]Lookin' so d**n cold outside
[00:34.40]

[01:14.99]Walking along this empty dirt road
[01:17.30]Feelin' confused about the life I chose

[01:44.17]Had to divide us man froze and he died
