[Verse 1: Hard Target]
Today I've woken up
And pray that I would sober up
Fought my way to find this edge
But yet I'm never close enough
Close the door that I opened up
Reaching out, I know I'm stuck
This the only way I'm driven
It's sad enough, this road is tough
I've lost friends in the past
For reasons unknown
Burnt bridges, and broke down walls
With only one stone
My mother says I act like my father
Maybe I'm bothered
At the fact that I know she's right
And I am only a coward
I've been fighting off this persecution
Tryna find a new solution
Vengeance is upon us
And I'm here to get my retribution
I had a dollar in a dream, but I spent it
And now I'm just living out my sentence
Lord, please God be on this road
Cause it's lonely and long
Please forgive me, cause I know that I'm wrong
For every time that I gave up in the past
And you pulled me along
I'm in debt to you for holding this long
My momma told me
[Hook: Hard Target]
When the door gets closed
All the lights go out
Just another shallow grave
That we can't climb out
Reminiscing bout the past
That we can’t take back
I know it’s almost over
Know it’s almost over
Just know that I’mma write another chapter for me
Cause I can barely fall asleep, it’s like a quarter to three
Cause I can’t wait to see the sunrise
Coming for me
Cause I know it’s almost over
Know it’s almost over
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Cause I know it’s almost over
Know it’s almost over
Tonight, tonight, tonight
Cause I know it’s almost over
Know it’s almost over
Tonight
[Verse 2: Gemstar]
Even when the door closes
There’s a reason for the madness
Bridges burnt to ashes
No escaping your past, kid
They say that karma hits you when your down on your luck
Never had no fear of lightning, till the day you got struck
I seen the real that kept it real
The fake ones kept it fake
So I feel the way I feel and I’mma pray for all these snakes
And connivers that despise us
But we riders, till we dying
So I’m sorry for the problems that I caused you
My past haunts me, I feel like my trash wants me
To break, keep my faith in the higher power
They never can shake
Can’t divide us from this universe at all
You can see the gifts of all em’
What it’s used for, what it’s for
But I use it for the world
But now I use it for the lord
If we started underground
But now I see that music soar
Now we taking it to levels that they never seen before
Thank the lord, every time I reach your door, ‘fore it closes up
[Hook]
[Verse 3: Moccasin Creek]
They say when one door closes
Another opens fast
I’m holding black roses
Standing at another mask
I’m asking father, tell me why’d you give me all these chances
The music kills my pain, my heart forever dances
I see the open door, with light shining ‘round the edges
Profusely sweating, eyes closed, knowing life is precious
So why the hell am I still digging out this black hole
And why the hell am I still feeling like a lost soul
My granny told me long ago, around eighty nine
Life is like a camera, capture the good times
Develop from the negatives, and everything will be fine
But time is passing, light traffic
With no slow me downs
And I ain’t laughing, cause it’s tragic when they lay us down
It’s almost over, sit and watch
While the walls crashing
Looking for that open door
Full of hope and passion
If I lose it in the fire, you can find it in the ashes
[Hook]
