Hard Target Tonight (feat. Gemstar & Moccasin Creek)
[Verse 1: Hard Target]
Today I've woken up and pray that I would sober up
Fought my way to find this edge, but yet I'm never close enough
Close the door that I opened up, reachin' out, I know I'm stuck
This the only way I'm driven, it's sad enough, this road is tough
I've lost friends in the past for reasons unknown
Burnt bridges, and broke down walls with only one stone
My mother says I act like my father, maybe I'm bothered
At the fact that I know she's right and I am only a coward
I've been fightin' off this persecution, tryna find a new solution
Vengeance is upon us and I'm here to get my retribution
I had a dollar in a dream, but I spent it
And now I'm just livin' out my sentence
Lord, please guide be on this road 'cause it's lonely and long
Please forgive me, cause I know that I'm wrong
For every time that I gave up in the past and you pulled me along
I'm in debt to you for holdin' this long
My mama told me
[Chorus: Hard Target]
When the door gets closed all the lights go out
Just another shallow grave that we can't climb out
Reminiscin' 'bout a past that we can't take back
I know it's almost over, know it's almost over
Just know that I'ma write another chapter for me
'Cause I can barely fall asleep, it's like a quarter to three
'Cause I can't wait to see the sunrise, comin' for me
'Cause I know it's almost over, know it's almost over (Tonight, tonight, tonight)
'Cause I know it's almost over, know it's almost over (Tonight, tonight, tonight
)
'Cause I know it's almost over, know it's almost over tonight
[Verse 2: Gemstar]
Even when the door closes there's a reason for the madness
Bridges burnt to ashes, no escapin' your past, kid
They say that karma hits you when your down on your luck
Never had no fear of lightnin', 'til the day you get struck
I seen the real that kept it real, the fake ones kept it fake
So I feel the way I feel and I'ma pray for all these snakes
And connivers that despise us, but we riders, 'til we dyin'
So I'm sorry for the problems that I caused you
My past haunts me, I feel like my trash wants me to break
Keep my faith in the higher power they never can shake
Can't divide us from this universal law
You can see the gifts of all 'em, what it's used for, what it's for
But I use it for the world, but now I use it for the Lord
If we started underground, but now I see that music soar
Now we taking it to levels that they never seen before
Thank the Lord, every time I reach your door, ‘fore it close up
[Chorus: Hard Target]
When the door gets closed all the lights go out
Just another shallow grave that we can't climb out
Reminiscin' 'bout a past that we can't take back
I know it's almost over, know it's almost over
Just know that I'ma write another chapter for me
'Cause I can barely fall asleep, it's like a quarter to three
'Cause I can't wait to see the sunrise, comin' for me
'Cause I know it's almost over, know it's almost over (Tonight, tonight, tonight)
'Cause I know it's almost over, know it's almost over (Tonight, tonight, tonight
)
'Cause I know it's almost over, know it's almost over tonight
[Verse 3: Moccasin Creek]
They say when one door closes, another opens fast
I'm holdin' black roses, standin' at another mass
I'm askin' Father, "Tell me why'd you give me all these chances?"
The music kills my pain, my heart forever dances
I see the open door, with light shinin' 'round the edges
Profusely sweating, eyes closed, knowing life is precious
So why the hell am I still digging out this black hole?
And why the hell am I still feeling like a lost soul?
My granny told me long ago, around '89
Life is like a camera, capture the good times
Develop from the negatives, and everything will be fine
But time is passin', light traffic, with no slow me downs
And I ain't laughing, 'cause it's tragic when they lay us down
It's almost over, sit and watch while the walls crashin'
Lookin' for that open door, full of hope and passion
If I lose it in the fire, you can find it in the ashes
[Chorus: Hard Target]
When the door gets closed all the lights go out
Just another shallow grave that we can't climb out
Reminiscin' 'bout a past that we can't take back
I know it's almost over, know it's almost over
Just know that I'ma write another chapter for me
'Cause I can barely fall asleep, it's like a quarter to three
'Cause I can't wait to see the sunrise, comin' for me
'Cause I know it's almost over, know it's almost over (Tonight, tonight, tonight)
'Cause I know it's almost over, know it's almost over (Tonight, tonight, tonight
)
'Cause I know it's almost over, know it's almost over tonight
