Fate & Fear Video (MV)

I put my heart in the cage
I'm not walking away we're so close yet so far
I'm reaching out to your hands
Only you understand we're so close yet so far

I never asked for a cold world I cannot adapt
Getting money for a college man I do it through rap
It's too much crap I feel like bozo cuz they think I'm a joke
I never met a girl who planned a nigga to be heart broke
And all the empathy I gave all the words that I spoke
I have it tatted on my brain reminding me of my quotes
The word love is passed around more than baggies of coke
So why you get my high up just to make me feel low
Why you say you tie me down then go cut off the rope
Why do people give trauma to the ones who can't cope
Why we stay up past three just to simpin' and mope
Why do the weak minded people try to give into coke
I wasted so much time on what coulda been good
I shoulda spent all of my dimes giving back to the hood
Chasin' paper dedicated class made me concentrated
Scream f*ck the world put it in the dirt filled with penetration

I put my heart in the cage
I'm not walking away we're so close yet so far
I'm reaching out to your hands
Only you understand we're so close yet so far

Determination made me strong clouded doubts made me weak
Paranoia had me edgy I lost plenty of sleep
I pray to God but sometimes I fear I'm drifting away
In fear of losing every chance of walking to heaven's gate
These tears is rollin down my cheek from contemplating my fate
Tomorrow really isn't promised what if I don't awake
What if the people that I love turn out to be true snakes
My heart is bleeding every time these hoes make some new mistake
Success is at my fingertips but how much more can I take
Before I crash mentally take my foot off the brakes
I'm only needed when it's beneficial to someone's sake
I'm hurting but put on a smile for someone's day I can make
I'm feeding people like a chef they eating off of my plate
Maybe I could cut loose ends and start off a new slate
Threw that disc into the trash and make a brand new tape
The curtain calls at the end let me drop down a drape

I put my heart in the cage
I'm not walking away we're so close yet so far
I'm reaching out to your hands
Only you understand we're so close yet so far
I put my heart in the cage
I'm not walking away we're so close yet so far
I'm reaching out to your hands
Only you understand we're so close yet so far
