“NUMB” By: ChanceCold So Numb – So Numb – Like Open Doors Like Open Doors – V.1 So numb, care and love is evaded – All feeling inside of me has completely eviscerated – Complicated decision making – guess I was mistaken – I’m contemplating on a way to take it – take it away – My life’s at stake and my soul is too – Window pane had to break and had to clear the visual – Cataclysmic – Inclement weather distorting my mental – Gun Fire – Fuse is lit – It’s time to cause ripples and waves – Tidal waves, Hurricanes, and Tsunamis – Ready to change the game but the doubt still haunts me – Never believed in myself – Just acted like I did – My eyes are open doors to see the trauma as a kid – All it did to crush and kill me internally – How that inferno fire was lit under me – Driving me to be exactly who I am and do what I do – Walk on the battle field to understand why I got so much to PROVE – Hook: Like Open Doors – Like Open Doors – V.2 Can you see it? If you could, would you believe it? Arguing with both sides of me, compliantly I’m deceiving myself – And Hell is closer than I’d like it to be – I’m walking in fire man, my desires interweaved with selfish motives – I can’t keep my focus – on where the cross is – Each and every single moment – Got me hoping for something better – but then I go back – Got me fighting without a weapon – I’m Under Attack – And there’s no sympathy – From these enemies – Poisonous adversities assuring me that hurting me Is the goals of their plans and schemes And to affect me negatively – Adversely – See Me Deceased – Does it matter that my history controls my future? Fall like autumn leaves – when autumn leaves the Cold Winter Arrives – Can’t Feel It Inside – Man I’m numb to the pain and I close my eyes, I’m Ready To Rise –

How’s it feel to be recognized for the blood, sweat, and tears that – I’ve poured out, all the sacrifices – is it all a waste? Try not to believe it – sometimes it seems that way – Then they tell me I’m out of line cuz I want so bad to make it – Tell me I’m chasing the wind, tell me I’ll never obtain it – I ain’t hearing it – it’s all Charlie Brown Teacher Talkin – Cuz I’m destined for greatness – I’m destined to be a legend – See the hatred’s inevitable – Avoiding it’s impossible – Ignoring it is plausible – Some problems never solve – And I ain’t saying they all solvable Just being real, this here’s unstoppable – And I could care less if I get applause from y’all – Hook: I’m tryna be a Legend in my own time – I’m already a legend in my own mind – And yes I’m gon endure the climb and keep climbing – (Keep Climbing) I’m tryna be a Legend in my own time – I’m already a Legend in my own mind – And yes, I’m gon endure the climb and keep climbing – No Matter The Climate – V.3 Tryna be a legend in my own time – my mind’s on paper – Rhyme after Rnyme – Line after line and I savor – Every moment behind microphones – will they remember me? This is all I know and all I got – with five felonies – It’s hard to get a job that’s gon pay all of the bills – And feed my four kids – so I tell em all how I feel – Transparency’s important to me – tryna keep it real – Patiently waiting for the day when I sign a record deal – Dealing with the stress and being broke, sometimes I can’t cope – So I turn to my Jetstream ink pen, it’s my dope – It’s my psychiatrist that helps me overcome being depressed – Without these words and songs, the pistol’d be pressed to my chest – Are they ready for this magnitude and lyric capacity – Specially with all this garbage, Simple Simon rapping – I don’t know, I hope they are – I pray they hear me one day – Even if they never do, I’ll still rap till my dying day – Hook: I’m tryna be a Legend in my own time – I’m already a legend in my own mind – And yes I’m gon endure the climb and keep climbing – (Keep Climbing) I’m tryna be a Legend in my own time – I’m already a Legend in my own mind – And yes, I’m gon endure the climb and keep climbing – No Matter The Climate –

“Greener Grass” By: ChanceCold Hook: Darkness – Causes my demeanor – I want something different, they label me a dreamer – My Whole Life’s Been Lived On The Wrong Side Of The Tracks – Bout To Jump This Fence To Get To That Greener Grass – No Looking Back – No Turning Back – Bout To Jump This Fence To Get To Where The Grass Is Greener – No Looking Back – No Turning Back – Bout To Jump This Fence To Get To That Greener Grass – V.1 I see the other side, so close but so far away – And where I stay is constant war and pain – And the rejection is a reflection of my environment – When I wanna give up they always seem to keep trying and When I wanna end it all – they always seem to press on – What Am I Missing? Is it a lack of Faith? My premonitions Are that I’m destined for failure – I’m Absent Of Hope – They pray to get relief – I get relief by smoking dope – Deep Seeded Hate – I try and weather the storms – But inclement weather takes its toll when you all alone – Tried talking to my view of god, he wasn’t listening But my god was money, elbows, and Pyrex in the kitchen – They got something better, I want it but don’t get it – Why’s the grass always greener on that side of the fence? Wanna find what they found – Wanna get what they have – So I’m Gon Jump This Fence To Get To That Greener Grass – Hook: Darkness – Causes my demeanor – I want something different, they label me a dreamer – My Whole Life’s Been Lived On The Wrong Side Of The Tracks – Bout To Jump This Fence To Get To That Greener Grass – No Looking Back – No Turning Back – Bout To Jump This Fence To Get To Where The Grass Is Greener – No Looking Back – No Turning Back – Bout To Jump This Fence To Get To That Greener Grass –
