Nose to the Grindstone (Skeler Remix) - Skeler & Blue Foundation

Feel the presence in the air when The Trio comes around A couple playas from the south, in Tennessee we bring the sounds Stayin high 'til we die, love for dope, we steady smoke Kick back, drink a beer and start to write these words being spoke Yes a playa's been awoke From early on I loved to sin Since a kid, it's been the same I'm getting fucked up 'til my end Grew up buried under pressure Knowing life never gets better So I take this time that I got left to bring the world some terror Beware aware, you're scared of the things that you see I'm well aware of the despair, it tends to follow me No guarantees in life so I'm living by any means That's what it's like when you living life in a world of greed Never gets better Life's never pleasure Rich or poor, it's all the same, in the end you're never remembered Just a bunch of sheep acting the same and thinking that they different Well you not so shut the fuck up bitch, The Trio's here to end shit Live a life inside the purgatory Paying for my sins Walk adjacent to the devil All I know is evil shit Dealin' heavy with the struggle Got some demons on my back Seem to step in every puddle Slowly drifting into madness In the south it's raining blood And to my savior I'll abide From the crypts he lends a hand It's meant to guide me through the night Learned my lessons from the death the world has shown me I believe that this realm is just a pebble in the belly of the beast Have no conscience in my head, feel no guilt up in my mind Feel the presence of the devil Rising up from underground It don't matter what ya race We all a mess, a damn disgrace The Lord will rise and teach a lesson Memories will be erased Satan searches for ya soul He'll drag you where they'll never know Burn eternal Let the pain invoke a change Just let it go Motherfuckers try to test me Life is full of genocide Acts of hate control my mind So pessimistic by design Ever since I was a kid I seen the violence, learned to cope With these images of death I've seen my passing, now I know No one really gives a fuck Taking life just how it is Let my demons grab ahold And slowly drag you to my depth

This is, uh Nose on the Grindstone Daddy worked like a mule minin' by the county coal Messed up his back, couldn't work anymore He said, "One of these days, you'll get out of these hills "Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills" "See, the ways of this world will just bring you to tears "Keep the Lord in your heart, you'll have nothin' to fear "Live the best that you can, don't lie, don't steal "Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills" Well Daddy, I've been tryin', I just can't catch a break There's too much in this world that I can't seem to shake But I remember your words, Lord, they bring me the chills "Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills" "Keep in mind that a man's just as good as his word "It takes twice as long to build bridges you've burnt "And there's hurt you can cause time alone cannot heal "Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills" Well Daddy, I've been tryin', I just can't catch a break There's too much in this world that I can't seem to shake But I remember your words, Lord, they bring me to chills "Keep your nose on the grindstone and out of the pills" "Keep your nose on the grindstone"

I was given wine We're feeling okay And quite all right You wash my tears away And make me wanna stay And bonfires lit up the shores Walk far far away To go beside you Is where I want to be Walk far far away To laugh, to love Days of roses and wine Drifting astray With your hand in mine You stroke my fears away And make me wanna stay And bonfires lit up the shores Walk far far away To go beside you Is where I want to be Walk far far away To laugh, to love Walk far far away Where to go and hide? We're going to the sea Walk far far away To laugh, to love And this is how it went I am here to stay Roaring with the wind There's life within This is what I give A circle is complete Another circle spins There's life within Within

The floor you walk on is smooth. There is no ground there. Magic begins with blood. Outside, there are trees, With concrete under their roots. But I have passed the tombs of kings, Regaled them with pacing, checked bins for food and wrappings. I have scoured the seas for miles, cloaked my face with ash. My fingertips opening, accepting my time. The dark cylinders of half-smoked cigarettes For me, I'm your sorrow Calling in your dreams For me, I'm your shadow Howling in the streets Water chimes in the space between rocks, Speakers discharge and laughter is in the air, Glass divides us, Empty bottles Mark the steady sweep of day Tomorrow, I will walk the streets And steel myself for the familiar. Your eyes Will not settle, a hunger. You'd be happier in your grave. When we meet, share stories, you stretch me. I see, I see a semi-circle of teeth. The dark cylinders of half-smoked cigarettes For me, I'm your sorrow Calling in your dreams For me, I'm your shadow Howling in the streets

All the things that we wished, they never came true All the promises made, were broken by you All the choices you made, would you make them again? All the lies that you told, did you believe in them? All the things that we wished, they never came true All the promises made, were broken by you All the choices you made, would you make them again? All the lies that you told, did you believe in them? All the things that we wished, they never came true All the promises made, were broken by you All the choices you made, would you make them again? All the lies that you told, did you believe in them? Our posturings, our imagined self-importance The delusion that we have some privileged position in universe Are challenged by this point of pale light Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark In our obscurity, in all this vastness There is no hint that help will come from elsewhere To save us from ourselves
