Down The Line Lyrics

I see problems down the line, I know that they're mine
There was a dirt upon your hands
Doin the same mistake twice
Making the same mistake twice

I'm on this road, I don't know how
It's taken a while, It's taken a while for me
It's something around.. it's something i seen out there
I feel your stare I know you ain't far from here
From here
Theres no other way, no turning away
And they'll be nowhere to hide soon
With everyones eyes on me

I see problems down the line, I know that they're mine
There was a dirt upon your hands
Doin the same mistake twice
Making the same mistake twice

I know where I'm headed, I'm headed towards something I jus hope I don't end up regretting I see, the bright lights I'm rising like high tide hope I don't get swept away, get swept away
I can't hide no more, I can't hide no more
So have mercy mercy mercy I swear I'm just like you
When I reach that spot, mount that pressure how do we stack up?
Passed up so many memories how do we catch up?
We put our souls up in exchange for exposure exposing flaws to blog posters who focus thorns out of roses i swear its hopeless
I see problems down the line, I know that they're mine
There was a dirt upon your hands
Doin the same mistake twice
Making the same mistake twice

I can take it I'm ready, I'm ready for yall
I've been saving up waiting and now I'm betting it all
I can take it I swear that I I can take it
I'm taking a leap of faith when I say that I think I'm ready for ya'll
That's that and theres no lookin back
If I ever got scared then I won't show that
More so that I would never show yall
Why you don't try it if it ain't so hard?
Hate the next man cuz you hate your job
Hate your life, hate your wife
Took a few chances that ain't go right now you lookin through the tunnel and there ain't no light
Blame the world, play the victim
Never do shit wanna blame the system
Can't convince em so I ain't gon' try
They ain't gon' change but I ain't gon' hide
It's a mothafuckin jungle out there, can't back down when the public eye stare
Throwin those darts that close is not fair
The hardest part is that we supposed to not care

I see problems down the line, I know that they're mine
There was a dirt upon your hands
Doin the same mistake twice
Making the same mistake twice
Don't let the darkness eat you up
Don't let the darkness eat you up
Don't let the darkness eat you up
