Layne Cornell, JClay - Why You Wanna Deuce? Lyrics

I know I don't know the struggles that you have
But I know the pain is real I had it bad

Why you wanna deuce
Why you gonna lie
Say that you don't care
But then why you wanna die
Why don't you be you
You won't even try
You claim to know the truth
But then why you choose a lie
I say why you wanna deuce
Why you gonna lie
Say that you don't care
But then why you wanna die
I say why don't you be you
You won't even try
You claim to know the truth
But then why you choose a lie
I say why you wanna deuce
Why you gonna lie
Say that you don't care
But then why you wanna die
Why don't you be you
You won't even try
You claim to know the truth
But then why you choose a lie

I'm just on a mish
Keep you on yo ish
Don't talk to me bout no risk
You was bout to slit yo wrists
You can die whenever you wish
So there's nothing to be afraid of
You your own reaper
Let me show you what you made of
Cuz you got yo shift on miff
Yo switch on miss
But yo drift got lift
Plus yo gifts got gifts
And you rich stack chips
But you won't even need to
That's the thing about gifts
When you give they'll receive you
And I put that on God
Cuz He put that on me
They say they got this game locked
Let me put you on key
You exist beyond clocks
Just listen beyond speech
Just witness but don't watch
What's missing, your peace
And it's yo birthright
Yo Eden
Yo earth right
Yo reason
And you feel empty without because look at what you eating
Attack, conflict, judgment, nonsense
You are what you eat so let's get your mind rinsed

Why you wanna deuce
Why you gonna lie
Say that you don't care
But then why you wanna die
Why don't you be you
You won't even try
You claim to know the truth
But then why you choose a lie
I say why you wanna deuce
Why you gonna lie
Say that you don't care
But then why you wanna die
Why don't you be you
You won't even try
You claim to know the truth
But then why you choose a lie

I know I don't know the struggles that you have
But I know the pain is real I had it bad
Sometimes all I had all I had was just my pen and pad

Walk around the block and talk to god cuz I ain't have nobody
Then pull the lint up out my pocket I ain't have no money
On top of that I had this feelin that I wasn't worthy
Cuz even though I prayed for help I swear he never heard me

It's 730 in the morning, I ain't even slept
It's like no matter what I do I just can't beat (Pay) this debt
Sometimes I prayed for help, sometimes I prayed for death
Sometimes I felt. my soul. needed to take a rest

You know what happened next? I almost called it quits
Standing on the ledge, I ain't goin out like this
Then I clenched my fist and I just went to work
I made my life a mess had to clean up the dirt

Why you wanna deuce
Why you gonna lie
Say that you don't care
But then why you wanna die
Why don't you be you
You won't even try
You claim to know the truth
But then why you choose a lie
I say why you wanna deuce
Why you gonna lie
Say that you don't care
But then why you wanna die
Why don't you be you
You won't even try
You claim to know the truth
But then why you choose a lie
