BUILDING BLUEPRINT
Next level lyrical insight is a moment away.
Lyrical Analysis of...
life 5 (the end?)
- life five, I know that there's not a lot that have lived a life like mine
- that can relate, but I hold out hope...
- (sing my song, it's a bird's cry) yeah,
- growing up, never had much, all we had was just enough
- birthday present? that was the breakfast, dinner, and lunch
- food on the table, all I could ask for, but this isn't a cry for sympathy
- need ya'll to listen to me, uh
- I realize now that all the drugs I've done is slowly killing me
- Slowly filling me with thoughts of an epiphany
- But not a good one, as it slowly manifests on everything I've been and will be
- Some people try to will me to stop, and it's not that I don't want to, but can I?
- [Takin' shots every day feels good, feels like a deadeye]('shots, deadeye')
- [karate kid, they gon' have to drag me kickin' and screamin']('karate kid, kick')
- and I know that I'm feinding, but at this point, I don't even want the drugs
- you heard me, the only reason I pop these pills is for love
- the type of affection and appreciation that you get from the man above
- and I never got any from my daddy, and for what, huh?
- the only reason I take these stupid pill bottles and overdose is just to feel good
- not even externally, but just to feel good about fucking something
- not even formally, but just to know that I'm not fucking nothing
- that I am a person, a real human being
- and I know that my father probably didn't wanna see me
- and I know that I probably was an accident
- and I know that could also be untrue
- that he could've meant to stay in, and the fact that his dad wasn't there became too much
- but even through all that, the fuck am I supposed to do, cuz man, at this point, I can't do nun'
- but overdose
- on these stupid pills
- controlling my life
- //Nirvana (Poetry) //
- I hear the echoes of my past in every line that I write,
- Tryna piece together moments, but they slip outta sight.
- Every swallow ain't a cure, it's just a pause in the pain,
- A temporary exit from a lifelong chain.
- Looking in the mirror, don't recognize who I see,
- Eyes heavy like my burdens, man, I'm drowning in me.
- They tell me "just quit," like it's easy to do,
- But if love was a drug, then I'm fiendin' for truth.
- Maybe heaven got a list, but I ain't on it yet,
- Maybe hell’s just a room where regrets never rest.
- Maybe life’s just a gamble, and I lost my bet,
- Tryna cash out my soul for a moment of rest.
- Ain’t no hotline that can fix what I done,
- Ain’t no sermon that can preach where I run.
- Tried prayin', but the echoes just bounce off the walls,
- God ain’t pickin’ up, or maybe I missed the call.
- Took a deep breath, but it burned on the way out,
- Took another pill just to silence my self doubt.
- I know that it’s killin’ me, I feel it in my veins,
- But when love’s just a ghost, pain the only thing that stays.
