I can’t get the taste of you
I can’t get the sound of you
I can’t get the thought of you
Always want what I can’t have
I guess that’s how we’re programmed
I’ve been leading my own path
But sometimes I don’t know man
I don’t live by my values
But I know that I can more
I don’t think I know how to
What the hell do I stand for?
Most dudes put in my position want to have it all it’s a contradiction
No restraint no it’s not addiction can’t turn it down because I ain’t got the wisdom
This is all so new to me and it’s dangerous if you don’t know the ropes
Go to church catch the holy ghost when it’s nighttime people overdose
The pros and cons of freedom, I got
My demons hungry feed them, why not
Lust for my temptations, I want
A rush to kill the craving, come on
Listen kid, where’s your morals and discipline?
Momma raised you different then
but I’m no angel I just pretend, just pretend
Temptations, temptations, ooh temptations te-te-te temptations yah
All I can hear is the peer pressure                                                                                
That can’t be changed with a mere lecture
You can’t replace what time’s taken
If money’s evil then why chase it?
Don’t know when to say I’m done
Won’t be scared when my time comes
I like fun because where I’m from they live fast then die young
Got the real deal but I still feel like going after these bitches 
Can’t believe that I’ve done that when I come back to my senses                          
Take a trip to the dark side it’s a good time with a bad flavor                  
When you’re falling on hard times I’ll pick you up but you’ll crash later
I can’t stave the cravings, but why?
They keep on persuading inside                              
Say yes no or maybe, decide
Pick your poison now
My ethics reflected
Desire directed                                                               
I work through my virtues
I’m sorry I hurt you
Temptations, temptations, ooh temptations te-te temptations yah
Life’s a ride and I’m strapped in
I remember way back then              
I ain’t have much and that’s when I start justifying my actions 
I was told go and get paper
Give in now and repent later
I was raised to be self centered
Stuck consuming these health killers
I got the liquor pouring too
I am a sinner so are you                                               
I never judge
Who am I to say I’m above you or mine
I fight with my urges
The righteous, the serpent
I try it’s not working
You’re mad but I deserve it
Temptations, temptations, ooh temptations temptations yah
Can’t get the taste of me out
Can’t get the sound of me out
Can’t get that thought of me out
Can’t get that part of me out
Can you hear me talking check the silence homie
It’s the piece you want I got the violence on me
Put a hold on your dreams because the size is on me
The whole world is watching, eyes is on me
You can sell your soul to god, oh my god
If it’s the house you want there’s a risk in that
You got to take it all fuck giving back
The green get greener that’s a given fact
You either in or out there ain’t no missing that
If your feeling strong make sure your chin is strapped
Keep your business quiet and you’re emotions wrapped
