Pharaoh in the Flesh

Verse 1:
I take these pills, to benefit my skin
While other take these pills, to rid them thin
Everyday we try to look our best
Somedays when I'm alone I pretend I am free
It's almost believe-able that im blessed
I Try everything to make them see me
But they only see me for who I can't be

Chorus:
Why do I always feel so misunderstood
Everyone else writing, while im left wronged
It's Like Ancient Egyption Hieryglyphics
On the surface I am strong
Even though inside I'm one big mess
A Pharaoh in the Flesh

Verse 2:
Feels like im setting myself on fire
Like Im walking on a Wire
With Stringer Bell and Barksdale
I can never dream, no matter how tired, I am
And here I am, inside my flaming hell
To stubborn to ask for help
To distant for anyone to tell
That all I need is a peaceful farewell

Chorus:
Why do I always feel so misunderstood
Everyone else writing, while im left wronged
It's Like Ancient Egyption Hieryglyphics
On the surface I am strong
Even though inside I'm one big mess
A Pharaoh in the Flesh

Verse 3:
A pharoah is weak, A pharoah is strong
Whether im right, Or the weather is wrong
And while the cased tombs are solid, all along
Mummified bodies represent where dead ends, belong
Full of fear in ones skin, And the weakness of giving in
Pushing through the heaviest doors that wont open
Tied up as my body lies, again and again
And as the Emperors rise above the pyramids
Giza will still be standing in the end

Chorus:
Why do I always feel so misunderstood
Everyone else writing, while im left wronged
It's Like Ancient Egyption Hieryglyphics
On the surface I am strong
Even though inside I'm one big mess
A Pharaoh in the Flesh
