Fine Line
[Verse 1]
'Nother day, 'nother hotel
The inside of it's nice though
Oh well, this is my life so
As I go try on clothes for tonight's show to
See how far that line goes
Still blows my mind, show
Business, guess I'll just never get, so this shit just
Always feels so weird to this day
Because all's I ever did was just say
The shit I would've wanted to hear
Other people say to me when I was a kid
So, please, don't make me some type of hero
'Cause I will say some more inspirational shit in a real way
But still will have a field day
With some of the fucked up shit in the world and
Tell it to suck on a dick, 'cause I still make fun of a sitch
Someone's in like a son of a bitch at another's expense, I'm fuckin' rele-
Ntless, it's fucked when it comes to this pen
I struggle with coming to senses, stuck on the fence
It's a balance beam, if I seem unbalanced, it's challenging
When my conscience allows me to think the most foulest childish things
Without even blinkin', without even thinkin' about
All the stinkin' amounts of people that seems to be reachin'
But the crowds, they're screaming
And The Palace sold out this evening
But now it's lay me down to sleep and
Is it really my soul to keep, or have I sold it cheap?
Is it greed? And do I take more than I need?
When I joke of leavin', but keep overachievin'
'Cause what it stole from me, I've barely broken even
[Hook: Luis Resto]
I know, it's a fine, fine line
Living in hope or dire need
I know, it's a fine, fine line
Living in hope or dire need

[Verse 2]
So a martyr is how I paint myself and through my harrowin' ordeals, I'm so vain
I want my respect, but ignore the butterfly effect that comes from my dialect
'Til I sit in the dark and I reflect and my reflection shows what it's like here
'Cause this vanity, surrounded by all these lights, yeah, it's like a nightmare
I said, this vanity surrounded by these lights is a night mirror
And I don't like how I see myself, so I open the Bible to Isaiah, 'cause
I swear to Christ there are nights when I stay up and might
Say a prayer twice just to make sure God hears
'Cause this ice layer I skate on's a nice way of
Putting it but I like stayin' feistier than a trice-
Ratops and like a dice player
I got a nice paradise here, sealed off in my lair
Away from the bullshit, good safe place to sit and talk shit from
And this house, is quite big, but it ain't when you can't leave it and I feel so
Isolated, it's nice I made it, but it's like I paid the price of fame twice, I hate it
So I bitch about my life then make another song, vicious cycle ain't it?
Then I wonder why I stay famous, I keep walkin' the line, this goldfish bowl gets old
But especially when you don't know if your conscience is sayin' "I told you so"
'Cause you don't even know anymore
If you got the soul of a soldier, or you sold your soul
[Hook: Luis Resto]
I know, it's a fine, fine line
Living in hope or dire need
I know, it's a fine, fine line
Living in hope or dire need

[Bridge]
And from here, you look so small
Hovering high above us all
Please come back to me

[Verse 3]
I still remember the times when
They were simpler than the rhymes of
Vanilla Ice were
When I was just killin' the mics, I'll never forget what that feeling was like, I
Miss those times now
When I was just starting out without a dime and
Now I'm diamond
I can't even stage dive in the crowd anymore now and I've been
Stuck in this house hibernatin', hate even going outside, it
Sucks, sometimes I just wanna walk into Target and look at shit and browse
I don't even want to buy nothin', I just wanna fuckin' walk around inside it, look how excited
I sound when I get to talkin' bout life and everything about it I miss
Which now reminds me
Put a thousand lighters in the sky for the Outsidaz
Wow, I must have had Alzheimer's
Long time since I shouted them out, 'bout time, 'cause
It's been on my mind lately how, Zee, you always supported me, you vouched, I
Will never forget that and how you guys a-
Ccepted me for me and, Pace, I love you too, you slept on my couch
And I've been thinkin' 'bout the time when I slept on the floor at The Outhouse
Rhyming's
All we ever wanted to do and regardless how life has turned out, inside I'll
I'll always be an outsider
My life has been turned inside out but I—
[Hook: Luis Resto]
I know, it's a fine, fine line
Living in hope or dire need
I know, it's a fine, fine line
Living in hope or dire need

[Outro]
But I keep walkin' the line...
