Thought it better to take a 'hands off' approach ...But as these things often go Ignoring your problems just feels better Up til the last nail is hammered and coffins closed Met lady luck in a Boston grove Four leaf clover bruised Bruins Boston gold Took the devils bet. Might cost my soul But I want to be the greatest all across the globe Where I’m from they got nothing to do. Nothing to lose but it’s nothing to you I got a scholarship, school at BU. Row with the crew, plus a shooter, I hoop Want to be all I can be, so I enlist, Air Force ROTC, learned to fly and shit Top Gun. Aviator frames shade my irises Plus I roll with the tech, they know me as a scientist The future is fated, you can’t stop it. I just got a call from a black ops project. They just said my budget is a black box Researching a crapshoot? No problem, I’m crackshot I just hit the jackpot. Halle Berry backshots Monster when I’m balling like Hugh Jackman with a laptop My bad, that was Swordfish, but you know what the score is Or maybe not... cause I won’t show up on the Forbes list Trained special forces... I know how to lie low I could see an ambush coming with my eyes closed ...Why’d you think they gave me such a wide role? ...They just need a fall guy when the mines blow Thinking I’ma die slow... that’s a lie, whole... Life I’ve been fighting for survival Before they flush me out into a downward spiral I’m gon hit the lab, do my thing and go viral... They might throw stones but they shouldn’t judge I face a destiny so ugly, mothers couldn’t love Plus growing up they said I wasn’t good enough Always just stuck to my guns and didn’t budge Flashback: “What the fuck! Can’t get him off me!!!” Adrenaline hits like hundred million little sips of bitter coffee Thundering pain. Head ringing. Wings are in flames I hear a distance voice in my ear, screaming my name Then somebody hit the lights all of sudden But before they dim… I feel my thumb on the ejection button.. Snackback: My eyes grow wide, I realize I forgot my meds. Those threats were all caps… LIES! DELUSIONS! They were in my head! The stress from my PTSD had been depressing My shrink prescribed me pills the pharma reps had been suggesting “Really, no side effects... Well, none worth mentioning” “Just be careful skipping days… withdrawal can get interesting” I look down. My hand rests, pressed against the flashing panel. My mind rambles as ample thoughts and hidden plots begin to scramble When did I flip the switch? It’s really beyond me. God, what have I done…. I think I just released the zombies Reach four my lucky leaf; suddenly I see the devil's schemes In human history, no deeds are great and terrible as these All my friends and family…. ...Well, we’d never been close Fuck it. Guess I better start boarding up Windows. They might throw stones but they shouldn’t judge I face a destiny so ugly, mothers couldn’t love Plus growing up they said I wasn’t good enough Always just stuck to my guns and didn’t budge P.S. Mental health is a serious issue. Take care of yourselves NCGs P.P.S. Line count should be 60, 1 line is split. (Or I can edit out final chorus)

Sidenote: I once wrote a verse about PTSD and used the word "Snapback" to describe the victims jolt back to reality. Needless to say, I like what you did here. Quote:
All in all, however, this was a super entertaining drop. Thanks for sharing.
