about

featuring Junelyfe of Retrospek

lyrics

(June) Sometimes we have to ask ourselves what we are fighting for
And sometimes we don't know
So we go back to the drawing board
To pick up a pen, call up a friend, to revise the plan again

(Catch) Sometimes I'd rather quit, let go of this whole shit
like what was I thinkin' trynna bring hope to the hopeless
I'm trynna stay focused but stress is makin' it harder
I don't sleep, I just think about my unborn son or daughter
And it gets hotter 'cuz every Summer somebody pass
Somebody locked in a box whether or not he blast
Gotti cash is just a dream in the hood
niggas pumpin' for years, still servin' fiends in the hood
and its hard trynna be understood
keepin it real in the sea of the fake
if you don't believe it just wait
there's a hypocrite to judge for every single mistake
they trynna tell you where you goin' like they been through the gate
and thats exactly why we're startin' to begin to loose faith
like why love just stay single and hate

(June) Oh, I know, its happening again
Oh, I know, it happens all the time

(Catch) words of kindness keep me goin' for the moment
but I'm gettin love at every show with no promotion
so, I'm back to smokin' and henny over-dosin'
anything to hide from my emotions
I been so close to the edge that I've wanted to leap
but everytime I do I hear Dinko talkin to me
and I be wonderin' damn, how could it possibly be
I must be here for a reason, I'm not locked or deceased
I hear the clock tickin' I'm desperate to make a move
I aint movin' on a prospect unless it can pay for food
paid the dues but now I'm hungry for the majors too
but not to make it in a mansion I wanna pay for schools
I wanna pay for tools to build, I wanna keep it real in this fabricated field, I guess I'm dreamin'
I guess I'm seemin' like I'm unrealistic but yall gon have to listen up because I'm done bein a misfit with this shit!

(June) Oh, I know, its happening again
Oh, I know, it happens all the time


Sometimes we have to ask ourselves what we are fighting for
And sometimes we don't know
So we go back to the drawing board
To pick up a pen, call up a friend, to revise the plan again

(Catch) Live and learn reflect, roll up a blizz and burn
grab a dance partner give her a spin or a turn
either get with it or get rid of whatever you earn
first you born, than you burn and sit in the urn
and in between you make the most of whatever you get it's
to whom much is given much is expected, let's get it!
and if you made it through the toughest of settings, you better recognize the blessings and have love for the lessons
just when you thought you had it all figured out
life's a bitch but its callin you out, so what you all about?
Nevermind all of the clout
you either blaze a trail or you follow the route

about

Catch Wreck Boston

"Deep-voiced and self-proclaimed “average guy” whose flexibility allows him to twist words to fit any beat. Catch Wreck’s style exudes the almost lackadaisical confidence of someone along the lines of a Prodigy from Mobb Deep." -XXL
