As I Go - Chris Webby, Skrizzly Adams

I’ll pray tomorrow but I’m sinning today

I’m full of nothing with a grin on my face

I beg for something that I’ll never taste

But I’m still gon' chase

Take it all as I go

I guess it’s just the human condition

Whether losing or winning

We just keep on chasing something until it’s skewing our vision

Being happy is obtainable, but it’s also unsustainable

We all got a hunger that isn’t tameable

The empty concept of success

Shit, we can’t even define it, but still we fiending for it, never the less

Feel like we need it to achieve it, shit we tend to forget

What really matters, the laughter, I should be hedging my bets

But I’ve been all in

Down in these trenches I’m here running

Chasing after the rush of it, trying to feel something

Noise all around, ain’t no quiet, I hear buzzing

And numb out the sounds that been in my ears, drumming

The inner voice struggles from a loss of sight

And causes fright until the fucking jaws of life

Got me tossing in my bed with my thoughts at night

I channel 'em and work through it when I’m on the mic

Y’all want that raw shit right?

Well this as raw as it gets

Through it all, I keep my chin up, acknowledge I’m blessed

But as I’m caught in the stress, feeling lost in the mess

And hollow at best, that’s when I’m going off to reflect

And see it all like

I’ll pray tomorrow but I’m sinning today

I’m full of nothing with a grin on my face

I beg for something that I’ll never taste

But I’m still gon' chase

Take it all as I go

Life been weighing heavy and I’m feeling it

When I get wounded, I never get to healing it

Never stop moving, so I don’t gotta deal with it

Hard to be a homie when they see you like a meal ticket

I just really need a spaceship like that old Kanye shit

Or make a makeshift airplane and take trips

Away from it all so my brain escapes it

Change, erase this pain my frame’s encased in

Y’all see me as the person that I choose you to view

Just like you, and shit I got my insecurities too

Y’all see me like the superhero shit, I wish it was true

But it’s the fans that keep me going, yo, I’m living through you

Because the fame is an illusion, the money ain’t a solution

It’s proven, but still we addicted to the dilution

No absolution, what I’ve learned in conclusion

It’s hard to be a motherfucking human

I’ll pray tomorrow but I’m sinning today

I’m full of nothing with a grin on my face

I beg for something that I’ll never taste

But I’m still gon' chase

Take it all as I go

I’ll pray tomorrow

I’m full of nothing

I beg for something

Take it all as I go
