Lyrics

[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
