Another trap based addition to my latest project Twenty Five.

Lyrics:
What was that you said? Was it the voices in my head?
I turn around and break my neck, I'll do anything for respect
Did it occur to you to check? Whether your words had any effect?
Take a second to reflect about who's life you've gone and wrecked
I'm bringing it back, slicker when I rap, drop in a little bit of this and a little bit of that
The recipe's intact, the effigy's will burn - no matter what ya do, the lesson isn't learned
Ya get what you deserve, karma comes around, bury the hatchet deep underground
Leave under a cloud, start afresh - its what you've gotta do when ya heart's a mess
//Chorus
And now I'm out here on my own...
Wishing I could phone home
Reception's down & there's no dial tone
It's times like this I ask why I am alone?
I sit on walls and feel the cool breeze
Whilst inside im praying down on my knees
One day I hope my mind will be free
Its. Not. Like-ly.
//Verse 2
Back to the norm, attracting a horde, running away as I'm blasting em all
Backs to the wall, I answer the call - the reaper needs me so i'm outta the door
End of line, start of the rhyme, enter my mind, what did ya find?
Darkness and time, stranded alive, I grit my teeth man I have to survive
Age 25 - half a century, quarter-life crisis, why am I like this?
I over analyse things, the cogs are whirring no matter what ya might think
A ball of energy buzzing around in a flesh vessel, I need to let my head settle
Yet on every corner there's somebody ready to test my metal
Ready to break through, & on this journey I will take you
Whether you love or you hate Lew, its your choice and I'm not gonna make you
I'll always stay true, I'm real smart so never gonna be a fake fool
The first go is a sound check and the tracks done on take 2
I've retired 10 times but the fact is I'll never stop this shit
I've just got to spit, writing endless lines till I pop my wrist
Isn't it obvious? I'm not gonna be missed, I'm not gonna beat this
Hip hop will swallow me whole and I'll walk out into the thick mist
//Chorus
And now I'm out here on my own...
Wishing I could phone home
Reception's down & there's no dial tone
It's times like this I ask why I am alone?
I sit on walls and feel the cool breeze
Whilst inside im praying down on my knees
One day I hope my mind will be free
Its. Not. Like-ly.
//Verse 3
Heartbeat - ya hear the thud as it pumps through ya chest
You're out of breath, ya life's a mess, the adrenaline rush is overcome by stress
You're never impressed, the colours a greyed out
Never cook your food instead relying on take-out
The fork in the road meets a dead-end, you peer over the edge but there's no way out
Do you take that leap? Is life really that bleak?
Looked upon as a freak, but how normal can they be?
I float into the breeze, like an autumnal pile of leaves
One day my mind will sieze, no more lyrics only beats
//Chorus
And now I'm out here on my own...
Wishing I could phone home
Reception's down & there's no dial tone
It's times like this I ask why I am alone?
I sit on walls and feel the cool breeze
Whilst inside im praying down on my knees
One day I hope my mind will be free
Its. Not. Like-ly.
