Red To Black

Red To Black

I had a friend named Benny

The two of us used to eat every single day

And it seemed like overnight that his whole size just changed

I know when his mom and dad went missing

he ate them but I know that his dad was a LPC

And he gambled away the rent

Pretty soon Ben was seein red

Pissed off but instead

He ate every night til he passed out

Then he’d do it all again

The whole time smiling on the outside to cover the pain

But on the inside all he was tryin to do was get away

Dying to get away

Let the pain of yesterday go slipping through the cracks ( ass hole )

Funny how things change color

Then fade to another shade

When you had it made it was all good

But now look just another day

It was so fresh it was so clean

Now its all GONE

1, 2, 3, lights out

Which way to turn

Can't get a grip

All alone in a big black house

Everyday gets worse and you just curse

'til your tummy bursts and it hurts so bad

She left like yourself should have thought of that one first

No chiken chops, no shoes, can’t accept what you did

Now you wanna runaway but you can't cuz the past comes back again

Slippin through the cracks

Sip a lot of water

Go to bed hungry

What about shoes

Why does every cent gotta be a bet

Whens it gonna end

Oh my god, we dont got a penny left

My mom’s gotta find a way to get a job

Outta food, outta shoes, outta ball, outta this BIG problem

My pops ( LPC ) wanna get away from the pain

In a better place in his brain

But the medication he takes makes him wasted

So sick if hes gonna think the good lord would come take him

Im shakin him wake up you son of a bitch

He’s dying to get away

Let the pain of yesterday go slipping through the cracks

Hiding himself away watching all the memories fade

Away From red to black

He’s dying to get away

Let the pain of yesterday go slipping through the cracks

Hiding himself away watching all the memories fade

Away From red to black(Slipping through the Cracks)
