- Grew up off uncommon themes and dreams that never came true, barely able to pay rent
- And I know that even if I scream out my sins, the only true separation from drugs is to repent
- And I know that even if I separate myself from the demons inside the pills, who can I depend...

- yeah, and I know everybody else had struggles, everybody else had troubles

- wanted real love, not the fake type that vanish as soon as you change (yeah)

- //1:28 //
- (huh) now look where I came from, came up, got it out the mud, no handouts
- (huh) now look how they change up, fake love, tryna dap me up wit’ they hands out

- //1:44 //
- grew up with hunger pains, never knew a silver spoon, just a stomach tight
- grew up in hunger games, tryna make it out without losin’ my life
- and I know even if I hold onto my faith, I'm still gon' sin
- and I know even if I let go of these demons, I know it will never end
- //1:52 //
- yeah, and I know everybody else had struggles, everybody else had troubles
- but I’m still climbing, and only feel like a stunt double
- cuz I pop these tabs every day, unhealthily, got doubles and triples, got couples
- and even though I climb, the feeling of weight is there, whispering "it won't amount to nothing"
- //2:00 //
- stare at the ceiling, feel like it staring back
- all of this money can't buy back the time, can't buy back the past
- all of these diamonds can't shine through the dark when the demons attack
- all of these houses can't make me feel home when my soul feelin’ trapped
- //2:08 //
- now let me stop lying, these my dreams, in reality I got none of that, no diamonds, no chains
- no lambo, no whip to push 280, no VVS', by societal standards, I'm just a lame
- but that's the least of my worries, I don't flush no canary yellows, full of piss

- //2:32 //
- now I spill my soul in this song, because I know that I may go soon, my soul fully wasted
- my heart poured out in a cup, due to the cup of the juice I continue to drink in
- my heart boxed into a bottle, due to the pills that I continue to take in
- my heart ripped through by a bullet, from a gun, the drills I said I'd never partake in
- //2:40 //
- yes, I am achin', trying to trash these thoughts, dump the uncertainty in a bin
- he asks me to begin, doctor, where do I begin, years of unforced sin
- and I know I shouldn't try to rush out of therapy, but it's hard for me to stay in
- when every single muscle inside of my body feinds for dope and X, a lethal combination
- //2:48 //
- I need drank, a percocet
- I need act, dope, and X
- I need morphine, I need crack
- It's no use, I have an obsession
- //2:56 //
- Because when you're deep in as I am, there's no use in admitting it
- And giving yourself advice, we're past those [two steps, as I dance near death]('two steps, dance')
- Because when you're as deep in as I am, there's no need to say what you have
- To get rid of the problem, I must rid it myself, yeah
- //3:04 //
- And there's no way that I can do this shit alone, I need help, yeah
- And I need shalia, and I need ma, and I need dad, yeah
- I don't wanna go, I have too much life, found out my talent, yeah
- I've got the code, but the lock can't come off without someone to open the cell, yeah

- (yeah) Money and power won't fix this
- (yeah) I'll always choose God's shower over bitches
- (yeah) keep survivin', but what if I never heal? what if my life never fixes?
- (yeah) [Maybe life is all a dream, I'm steady countin' the opinions of sheep]('dream, counting sheep)
- (yeah) Insomnia a recurring theme, I can't even sleep
- (yeah) Even on their worst day, they couldn't struggle like me
- (yeah) What if I told you my life was a lie, it feels like I die every other week (let's go, let's go)
- //3:28 [Outro (Ad Libs)] //
- (I could never fold, I'ma speak my truth)
- (I could never fold, I'ma speak my truth)
- (I could never fold, I'ma speak my truth)
- (I done got too bold, I need you to see that too) (yeah I know...)
