No More Drill
(yeah) Thought
that road
was gold Nothing left to hold
Started off chasing paper in the rain Thought moving reckless would wash
away pain Paranoia sleeping with one eye wide Watching every shadow on
the curbside Lost four brothers to an iron cell door Tell me
what we really doing this for Empty pockets and a shattered soul
Sold my youth just to lose control
Looking in the mirror at a stranger's eyes Tired of the sirens,
tired of the lies
I drop that weapon on the floor
Won't run that circuit anymore
I thought being a criminal would make me more Now I'm standing
bleeding on a prison floor
No, not no more drill
No, not no more drill
Thought the corner brought respect and pride
Just another brother dying on the inside
No, not no more drill
Used to think power was a blade in a coat Now I
got that heavy grief catching my throat My mother weeping by the
kitchen sink Never had a minute to just breathe or think Felt
like a king when the cash would stack Until the Reaper tapped
me on my back Trading cold iron for an honest hand I'm
stepping out from that barren land
Looking in the mirror at a stranger's eyes
Tired of the sirens,
tired of the lies
I drop that weapon on the floor
Won't run that circuit anymore
I thought being a criminal would make me more Now I'm standing
bleeding on a prison floor
No, not no more drill
No, not no more drill
Thought the corner brought respect and pride
Just another brother dying on the inside
No, not no more drill
Take the mask off my face
Wash the mud from my name
Ain't no honor in this cemetery game
(nah, ain't no honor)
No, not no more
Put the blade down
Walk away clean
