Soul For A Soul

(Verse 1)

Rollin’ down the block, tinted glass, grip tight

Heart full of vengeance, target locked in my sight

Finger on the trigger, demons whisper in my ear

“Let it bang, let it rain, make ‘em all disappear”

Pulled up slow, let the .45 bark

Bullets cut the night like a blade through the dark

But then I heard a scream, felt the air turn cold

Saw a mother and her child hit the ground and fold

(Chorus)

A soul for a soul, what’s the price of regret?

Tried to take a life, now I’m drowning in death

Wish I could rewind, take it back, no lie

But the reaper’s in the mirror, and he’s lookin’ in my eyes

(Verse 2)

News flash, faces all over the screen

A mother and her baby, caught up in my scheme

They ain’t had no part in the war that I waged

Now I’m trapped in this cell with the bars in my brain

Homies say, “Nah, keep your head, don’t trip”

But I see blood on my hands, stains I can’t rinse

I hear the cries in my sleep, they don’t fade

Every breath that I take feel like diggin’ my grave

(Chorus)

A soul for a soul, what’s the price of regret?

Tried to take a life, now I’m drowning in death

Wish I could rewind, take it back, no lie

But the reaper’s in the mirror, and he’s lookin’ in my eyes

(Bridge)

Bottle full of pain, gun under my chin

God, do I pay for my sins like this?

Will my soul find peace if I cash my breath?

Or is Hell just waitin’ with the flames of death?

(Verse 3)

Streetlights flicker, engine hums real low

Back where it started, where the cold wind blows

Could pull it right now, make the scales turn right

But would it bring ‘em back, would it balance the night?

Sirens in the distance, hear my name on the wire

Momma’s tears drop like gasoline in the fire

If I go now, will I see that kid’s face?

Or just a locked gate and a never-ending fate?

(Outro)

A soul for a soul, but the weight still grows

Tryna find peace, but the devil won’t go

If I fade out now, will it all be erased?

Or will I just be another lost ghost in the grave?
