[length: 04:41]
[00:01.18]And there’s no moral to the story
[00:03.34]Read the lines in between
[00:05.40]’Cause that’s what happens when
[00:06.54]You balance life on a triple beam
[00:11.68]When you balance life on a triple beam
[00:17.11]When you balance life on a triple beam
[00:18.67]I turn a gram to an eight ball, an eight to a brick
[00:22.05]The violence in my life was a measuring stick
[00:24.66]And there’s no moral to the story, read the lines in between
[00:27.12]But that’s what happens when you balance life on a triple beam
[00:29.25]I used to dream about the end
[00:32.13]And when it would come
[00:33.22]Drug dealers die young at the end of a gun
[00:36.64]Powders on the triple beam
[00:37.80]Girls around my neck
[00:39.00]No money?
[00:40.11]Well, she could always pay with sex
[00:41.42]Bikers tried to front me thirty grand worth of shit
[00:45.23]Knew that if I took it, I’d never get out of this
[00:47.79]What the fuck am I doing with amphetamines?
[00:50.98]But that’s what happens when
[00:52.47]You balance life on a triple beam
[00:57.05]Oh, when you balance life on a triple beam
[01:03.10]When you balance life on a triple beam
[01:04.73]I turn a gram to an eight ball, an eight to a brick
[01:07.94]The chaos in my life was a measuring stick
[01:10.36]And there’s no moral to the story, read the lines in between
[01:13.19]But that’s what happens when you balance life (on a triple beam)
[01:14.98]My dealer trusted nobody
[01:17.90]Make you take a test
[01:19.69]See if you would rat him out or stab him in the chest
[01:22.26]He’d make you suck the Glass-Dick, called it “dragon’s breath”
[01:25.44]Smoke a giant hit of speed, prove you weren’t the feds
[01:28.09]Your heart would beat so fast
[01:29.59]Before your eyes life flashed
[01:31.03]Ain’t easy to make cash
[01:32.40]Living off of meth
[01:33.56]It’s a paranoid world
[01:35.49]Violent and mean
[01:37.17]But that’s what happens when
[01:38.19]You balance life on a triple beam
[01:42.24]Oh, when you balance life on a triple beam
[01:49.10]When you balance life on a triple beam
[01:50.71]I turn a gram to an eight ball, an eight to a brick
[01:53.89]The party and the money, girls sucking my dick
[01:56.21]And there’s no moral to the story, read the lines in between
[01:59.52]But that’s what happens when
[02:00.91]You balance life on a triple beam
[02:08.23]Paranoid, the gun is loaded
[02:14.05]Nose destroyed and mind corroded
[02:19.70]Rival dealers want me broken
[02:25.52]If I sleep, it’s with one eye open
[02:34.43]Woah, go
[02:42.15]They call it crank, speed, rosebud, methamphetamine
[02:47.62]They call it crank, ice, bathtub, methamphetamine
[03:07.06]At pm and pm Shattick and 51st
[03:08.71]1:30 in the morning, streets at their worst
[03:12.29]My buddy started a fight, some dude by the pumps
[03:14.85]These black girls strolled up to watch ’em take their lumps
[03:17.88]Three cars rolled up, fifteen dudes rolled out
[03:20.59]”You fuckin’ with our girls?”
[03:21.85](Mouth runnin’ like a spout)
[03:23.54]I threw the first punch, nose broke on my rings
[03:26.54]Now I’m fighting four dudes and my head’s starting to ring
[03:29.44]Somebody screamed “Stop, he’s got a knife, run!”
[03:32.34]Not everybody listened, all of us were drunk
[03:34.98]As I turned my head I saw my friend’s knife blade
[03:38.14]Murder in his eyes, the devil in his veins
[03:41.01]He swung at the first, but then he missed
[03:44.07]2nd one got lucky, 3rd one took a hit
[03:46.82]The 4th one got caught, this time he wasn’t missing
[03:49.72]Teeth grit down, survival of the fittest
[03:52.44]And he stabbed him, and he stabbed him
[03:54.06]And he stabbed him again
[03:55.27]Kill that motherfucker, let him never breathe again
[03:58.19]And there’s no moral to the story
[03:59.58]Read the lines in between
[04:01.33]’Cause that’s what happens when
[04:02.62]You balance life on a triple beam
[04:07.28]Oh, When you balance life on a triple beam
[04:11.78]Come one, when you balance life
[04:15.40]I turn a gram to an eight ball, an eight to a brick
[04:18.31]The violence and the blood sure is making me sick
[04:21.06]And there’s no moral to the story, read the lines in between
[04:24.33]But that’s what happen when you balance life on a triple beam
[04:29.86]Oh, when you balance life on a triple beam
