Tonight - Hard Target, Gemstar, Moccasin Creek

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

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

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

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

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

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
