Scope or Claw

I was plucked from the sky
 pulled down into the the black goo
 an evil surrounded me
 now I'm trying to pull my way back through
 maybe I was running too fast
 too locked in, too cocky, too close to the sun
 needed to be burned on down
 well that's how it turned out
 I'm not sure if I believe in god
 but there's a force that'll even odds
 leave your logic flawed
 leave you saying (insert black block_ PAPES)
 maybe that was code
 pull me off the road because I went too far from home
 maybe that was wrong but I'll never know
 it goes exactly how it goes
 and supposing doesn't get me closer to what would've been
 tally the wins, rally the loss, put wind in the sails
 me and my chick, she's bad as fuck, we on that no matter what shit
 we ain't noting to fuck with
 same as the crew I grew up with
 from the downswing to the uptick
 the mud don't get as thick as the blood
 and a motherfucker don't quit ever he just learns how to trudge
 so where you are it's a call out, roof gone, walls out
 no sir, no sale, I will see you in hell
 from the bell to the tomb I'm all out
 even lost on the rockiest road I wouldn't take another way
 even on the darkest night, even on the coldest day
 and I'll never know if that was right until it's too late
 so I guess I'll do this my way
 I vibrate like five strings doing solos around the whole globe
 and I expand like rubber bands show you how low can a soul go
 and I snap in half and I put it back, no illusions
 I go into with no delusions
 I don't know it I just fucking do it, ain't nothing too it
 fear has got no business here
 but it don't disappear it just lives near
 and I let that settle, prove my mettle
 and I never peddle that sentimental
 call my manager, tell him I don't give a fuck
 should've quit years ago
 a buck? god damn it I do what I love
 and all my heroes are broke
 even lost on the rockiest road I wouldn't take another way
 even on the darkest night, even on the coldest day
 and I'll never know if that was right until it's too late
 so I guess I'll do this my way
 I push until I break then I find me some tape
 been that way since I was a boy
 and I found that it snaps when it's wound too tight
 now I do it lightly with time to enjoy
 when I get picked off by scope or claw
 I land with style like I planned it out
 make it work like hand-me-downs
 with a fresh new cut to sing about
 even lost on the rockiest road I wouldn't take another way
 even on the darkest night, even on the coldest day
 and I'll never know if that was right until it's too late
 so I guess I'll do this my way
