Astonishing (Hook by Constantine)

from My Tell​-​Tale Heart by Matthew L. Farris

/

lyrics

Damn near lost my life but I’m alive in this ish
Ohh yea swear it’s so astonishin’
Yea It’s so damn crazy how my mind just keeps rewinding and ish
Oh woah it’s so astonishin’
They hit my phone and asked me did I learn a lesson
Yes
B**** I’m blessed (B**** I’m blessed)
They hit my phone and asked me did I learn my lesson
Yes
Get right back to the check


Verse 1)
Could’ve Od’ed back in ‘03, ‘06, 2012
Someone had to save me from myself
Then a phoenix rose with a scheme to blow and the meanest flow
Tryin not go where the demons go
I got a son gotta raise him right
When He pick a path let him pave it right
I’m Probably not the best to teach
And I think about it when I say goodnight
Try to keep the bad year blues in the rearview
Keep to myself, when I vent there’s an earful
like solitary when you scream no one hears you
outgrow these habits like a bad hairdo
Yellin to the clear blue, talkin’ to the sky
At least now I know where to send all these prayers to

hook)
Damn near lost my life but I’m alive in this ish
Ohh yea swear it’s so astonishin’
Yea It’s so damn crazy how my mind just keeps rewinding and ish
Oh woah it’s so astonishin’
They hit my phone and asked me did I learn a lesson
Yes
B**** I’m blessed (B**** I’m blessed)
They hit my phone and asked me did I learn my lesson
Yes
Get right back to the check





Verse 2)
There’s no quit in my soul just a chip on the bone by my clavicle
That turn me to stone when I battle ya
I dabble in rattlin rappers
Had it with chattin and banter
Stab like a javelin dagger
Back at the fact of the matter
It don’t make sense how you’d wanna go against me
Ya might as well go skydive with a bedsheet
Try to race a Harley on a ten speed
Man you’re a kayak, I’m a jetski
a white belt and I’m Jet-Li
I survived when I should’ve died
Made it out the lions den
Save the flowers and the violins cause I’m alive
And I’ve become a problem when I got a pen
You can’t even try to deny I’m astonishing

Damn near lost my life but I’m alive in this ish
Ohh yea swear it’s so astonishin’
Yea It’s so damn crazy how my mind just keeps rewinding and ish
Oh woah it’s so astonishin’
They hit my phone and asked me did I learn a lesson
Yes
B**** I’m blessed (B**** I’m blessed)
They hit my phone and asked me did I learn my lesson
Yes
Get right back to the check
