BleedingOut
• Written by BR4CKETT
"BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG"
"FUCK, AHH, FUCKING HELL, AHHH,"
(Car driving off)
(next day, laying in the hospital bed)
"hello, im officer davis, i want to ask you a few questions, do you happen
to know the shooters?"
"nah, i dont" me
"okay, do you know why they could have done that?" officer davis
"i wish i knew, all i remember was me bleeding out"
Bleeding so much, it made my body feel like a drought
after a few minutes i started feeling the doubt
then i heard a civilian who was driving home shout
called the ambulance, spent 2 days in there
im feeling the pain, im feeling the awareness of the situation
this makes me feel like i dont belong in this nation
when i write raps, it gives me my motivation
when i write raps, it makes me lose frustration
people say they afraid of losing their reputation, im afraid of losing my life
i wondered while i layed there bleeding out, would i survive
my gut told me if i didnt have my future ahead of me
i wouldve bled out and died, wasnt even a homicide, or a suicide
i wouldve laid on my side and gave up, i didnt, i thought of my pup
got a new daughter on the way, i know im young (age 18)
turns out my real girl got pregnant, when she told me, i sprung
my feelings were a mixture of happiness and being broke
she is the chosen one, i want her to live a life of fortune
My baby girl is on the way, I want to see here everyday
Now I’m crying waiting for that day, to see her
But I’m bleeding out, bleeding out so much I’m in a drought
Yo, it started with a bang in the dead of the night
Lost in the chaos, yeah, shattered the light
Heartbeat racing, can’t fight, can’t breathe
Laying in the gutter, this pain I can’t leave
Got a bullet in my thigh, can’t deny it’s a crime
Like a ticking time bomb, man, I’m running outta time
Thought it was a dream, but this nightmare's so real
Bleeding out fast, man what’s the deal
Thought I was untouchable, slick with the pen
Now I’m learning life’s lessons from the pain of a friend
Adrenaline’s pumping but my vision’s going blurry
Bleeding out memories, life’s a constant hurry
Slick with the slick, I stood up to the fight
But now I’m down on my knees, praying for light
With every drop of blood, I’m writing my fate
Bleeding out, but I’ll rise, never tempting a bait
‘Cause every ounce of struggle’s an ounce of my pride
Yeah, I’ve tasted defeat, but I’m fueling the ride
So when I’m bleeding out, hear this message loud and clear
You can take the shot, but this heart won’t disappear
My baby girl is on the way, I want to see here everyday
Now I’m crying waiting for that day, to see her
But I’m bleeding out, bleeding out so much I’m in a drought
Heart racing, echoes in the back of my mind
Streets taught me lessons, every corner I find
In the shadows, where the light don't dare to roam
I’m bleeding out on this road I call home
Life's a gamble, chips down, watch the stakes rise
Caught up in the chaos, truth wrapped in a disguise
Bullet in the thigh, but my spirit won't die
Tears blend with the rain, but I’m learning to fly
Visions of the past haunt like a ghost in this fight
Friends turn to foes, trust fleeting like light
Life’s a canvas stained, I’m the artist with pain
Every stroke tells a story, every laugh hides the strain
Lost in the alleyways, dreams lie in the gutter
But hope's still whispering, can't let it be a stutter
Brick by brick, build a legacy from the dust
Turn the wounds to wisdom, let the pain be my trust
