Triple Beam

[Intro]

And there's no moral to the story

Read the lines in between

'Cause that's what happens

When you balance life on a triple beam

[Chorus 1]

When you balance life on a triple beam

When you balance life on a triple beam

[Chorus 2]

I turn a gram to an eight ball

An eight to a brick

The violence in my life

Was a measuring stick

And there's no moral to the story

Read the lines in between

'Cause that's what happens

When you balance life on a triple beam

[Verse 1]

I used to dream about the end

And when it would come

Drug dealers die young at the end of a gun

Powders on the triple beam

Girls around my neck

No money?

Well... she could always pay with sex

Bikers tried to front me 30 grand worth of shit

Knew that if I took it, I'd never get out of this

What the fuck am I doing with amphetamines?

But that's what happens

When you balance life on a triple beam

[Chorus 1]

When you balance life on a triple beam

When you balance life on a triple beam

[Chorus 2]

I turn a gram to an eight ball

An eight to a brick

The chaos in my life

Was a measuring stick

And there's no moral to the story

Read the lines in between

'Cause that's what happens

When you balance life on a triple beam

[Verse 2]

My dealer trusted nobody

Make you take a test

See if you would rat him out

Or stab him in the chest

He'd make you suck the glass dick

Called it "dragon's breath"

Smoke a giant hit of speed

Prove you weren't the feds

Your heart would beat so fast

Before your eyes, life flashed

Ain't easy to make cash

Living off of meth

It's a paranoid world

Violent and mean

But that's what happens

When you balance life on a triple beam

[Chorus 1]

When you balance life on a triple beam

When you balance life on a triple beam

[Chorus 2]

I turn a gram to an eight ball

An eight to a brick

The party and the money

Girls suckin' my dick

And there's no moral to the story

Read the lines in between

'Cause that's what happens

When you balance life on a triple beam

[Bridge 1]

Paranoid, the gun is loaded

Nose destroyed and mind corroded

Rival dealers want me broken

If I sleep, it's with one eye open

[Post-Bridge]

Woah, go!

[Bridge 2]

They call it crank, speed, rosebud

Methamphetamine

They call it crank, ice, bathtub

Methamphetamine

[Post-Bridge]

Fuck...

[Verse 3]

At the ampm, Shattuck and 51st

1:30 in the morning, streets at their worst

My buddy started a fight

Some dude by the pumps

These Black girls strolled up

To watch 'em take their lumps

Three cars rolled up, fifteen dudes rolled out

"You fuckin' with our girls?"

(Mouth running like a spout)

I threw the first punch, nose broke on my rings

Now I'm fighting four dudes

And my head's starting to ring

Somebody screamed, "Stop, he's got a knife, run!"

Not everybody listened, all of us were drunk

As I turned my head, I saw my friend's knife blade

Murder in his eyes, the devil in his veins

[Verse 4]

He swung at the first, but then he missed

Second one got lucky, third one took a hit

The fourth one got caught

And this time, he wasn't missing

Teeth grit down, survival of the fittest

And he stabbed him, and he stabbed him

And he stabbed him again

Kill that motherfucker

Let him never breathe again

And there's no moral to the story

Read the lines in between

'Cause that's what happens

When you balance life on a triple beam

[Chorus 1]

When you balance life on a triple beam

Come on

Oh, when you balance life

[Chorus 2]

I turn a gram to an eight ball

An eight to a brick

The violence and the bloodshed

Is making me sick

And there's no moral to the story

Read the lines in between

But that's what happens

When you balance life on a triple beam

[Outro]

When you balance life on a triple beam
