Simple Rhyme lyrics

[Verse 1:]Used to hate here, wanted to leave hereCouldn't see this far, surprised to be hereBall drops again, seen another yearI'm thankful for my live cause you coulda took itLearn the difference between life and deathWhat separates the two is one breathTake a deep one before you exhaleI'm thankful for my live cause you coulda took itCame to shoot me, execute mePersecute me, Percy must dieTake me to you, but you stopped itYou saved my life because you know they coulda took itInstruments of death always prevailedWhether a gun, knife, or harsh wordsI mimic the songs of the caged birdTo me this is way beyond a simple rhymeWay beyond a simply rhyme[Verse 2:]I'm a rich man because I'm blessedEscape purgatory that was one testThe hate that burned in me must restI'm thankful for my live cause you coulda took itLife is painful, I'm an expertTears were digital, prison did hurtPeople missed message, hated artworkI'm thankful for my live cause you coulda took itFighting CO's, I get beat dow
nTake my chair, make me crawl aroundCouldn't break me, how you like me now?You saved my life because you know they coulda took itLet me rise up, let my wings flapI fell to Earth once the guns clappedLearned my lesson, let me come backTo me this is way beyond a simple rhymeWay beyond a simply rhyme[Verse 3:]Over matter, focus my mindDarkness cloaks me, shadow my spineOn my face, I feel the sunshineI'm thankful for my live cause you coulda took itDay by day I wrestle with thoughtsThinking of street wars that we foughtSo many died in our blood sportI'm thankful for my live cause you coulda took itPlease forgive me for trading placesBecoming a murderer not leaving tracesFound innocent, beating casesYou blessed me even though that life you knew I took itScars and memories, how much can I take?Demons choke me in my dream stateI don't sleep, for days I stay awakeTo me this is way beyond a simple rhymeWay beyond a simply rhyme
