lyrics

Verse One:
I guess it all started, about a week ago
I was lying dead, just talking to my ghost.
He said I lived a good life, but it's over though.
I guess that I died, of an overdose.
Of music, and left my momma all sad
Or without even talking to my dad
Or becoming that famous MC
Now that I look back it seems so empty
He said:
"There's a way for you to live again."
And I said:
"Tell me what it is and I will do it man"
So he went up and opened up a book of rhymes, and said:
"Sign your name in between the lines"
Not knowing at that moment that I'd be stuck forever
Trying to rap, and obsessing about the cheddar
Dry eyes, no remorse, looking at the reverend
now the fame and money will become my treasure.
Such a shame, I didn't even read the fine print,
And did something crazy just to live out a dream.
As I wondered of into this new scene,
Realizing that it's really not what it seems
So I fall into drugs, and I mean the heavy kind.
Like Crack, Coke, Heroin, whatever I could find
If this was the Matrix I'd take both pills at the same time.
And maybe even more to see if I'd sleep at night
For a brief moment, it will give me what I need.
And now I need prescriptions just so I could sleep.
Right now I'm high, and sexing unprotected
With girls I never met, and even with some faggots (give it to me)
Maybe it was better if I had stayed dead
But now I'm over here, just giving gay head
But it's all hypothetical, and this is just a song
But this is what happens, when things go wrong I'm just saying.

Hook:
This is what happens when things go wrong I'm just saying
This is what happens when things go wrong

Verse 2:
They throw everything at me, except the peace sign
Wonder what I gotta do just to make it right
But it's a dirty business with dirty bitches,
fighting for their listens, love is penniless, and I'm penny pinching.
(Again for repetition)
It's a dirty business with dirty bitches,
fighting for their listens, love is penniless, and I'm penny pinching.
(Again for repetition)
They say history repeats, but I won't make the same mistakes.
Got the devil on my back, while God leads the way.
And I gotta get this right, cause losing is not an option
So With that being said, I approach things with more caution.
That's why plan A better work
Cause B is my plan A
I plan was planned on the day that I planned to be great
There's a reason why I change when some beats just get played
I'm Cuckoo son! I guess that I am insane.
Insane in the membrane, a sibling of Cobain
I'm thinking of more names
But I guess that I wont change
And will never be tamed,
I will rule on this game, and this is the same way that I'm gonna remain
That was the demon talking
"AHAHAH! Am i getting boring?!
"Quick, some one get me some chlorene, throw it in my eyes, and just start pourring"
"Ah, I'm sorry about that"
It's that the demons start to visit me, every time I start to rap
But it's all hypothetical, and this is just a song
But this is what happens, when things go wrong I'm just saying.

Hook:
This is what happens when things go wrong I'm just saying
This is what happens when things go wrong
