Lyrics

One more time I'll make it clear This some shit I hate to share Escape this life or pay the fare Grab this gun and aim it there Shoot my pain and slay my fear Before I die, I say my prayer Don't worry about the mess just lay me there This is all I got so lay me bare Look, one more time I'll make it clear This some shit I hate to share Escape this life or pay the fare Grab this gun and aim it there Shoot my pain and slay my fear Before I die, I say my prayer Don't worry about the mess just lay me there This is all I got so lay me bare Lord help me please I'm breaking down Tryna call my name and take my crown Little bit of pain I'll paint the town When they put me in my grave don't make a sound 'Cause there's still some days I find it hard Smoke my spliff and write my bars I know they see me climb the charts But plaques don't help me find my heart Yo God, what's good? I need you bad Devil's in my ear, I need you back Got scars in my soul, I've been attacked Even when I'm low I seem relaxed But the year's been mad I lost my way They think I went ghost to drop my tape Not knowing that I fell and lost my faith Like Satan please no, not today So fuck this shit this ain't a joke Just to get away I take a toke I took this pain and made a boat Lord knows how the fuck it stayed afloat Last year I cried too many times Weren't for Flipz and weren't for rhymes Weren't for Rachel, weren't for Kelly Man them people saved my life Like, man, I get low sometimes, so low sometimes Airplane mode on my phone sometimes Sitting in my house with tears on my face Can't answer the door to my bro sometimes Roaming around all alone sometimes Them lonesome times I was a young dead start But this shit's like Game of Thrones sometimes One more time I'll make it clear This some shit I hate to share Escape this life or pay the fare Grab this gun and aim it there Shoot my pain and slay my fear Before I die, I say my prayer Don't worry about the mess just lay me there This is all I got so lay me bare Look, one more time I'll make it clear This some shit I hate to share Escape this life or pay the fare Grab this gun and aim it there Shoot my pain and slay my fear Before I die, I say my prayer Don't worry about the mess just lay me there This is all I got so lay me bare Like bro I can't believe I saw my dad Still up in the ends, still driving cabs He said "Yo son, I need a car" I kissed my teeth and turned my back Like "Nigga, you ain't seen my face for years Nigga, you ain't seen my face for time And the first thing you're asking me for, is that? Fuck you! That's where I draw the line" Should've dashed through a rack like "Keep the change" And fuck letting go, I'll keep the pain Twenty-three years I'm still the same When you hear this I hope you feel ashamed 'Cause we were broke like what the fuck Mum did well to hold us up But yet she still forgave your arse But mumsy's cool, I'm cold as fuck Fuck that! I'm still not over this Fuck that! No, I'm still not over this Flipz told me someone died in Heath Like "Please say I don't know the kid" When I heard TS, I kissed my teeth And then I broke down in disbelief My bro TH and Yogi too Man I'll be damned to miss the streets But I still got old school friends that I shoulda' been cool with Man that I ride for, man I went school with Man that I love and man I kicked ball with My phone's there, just call it But I guess things just got strange for me But you all grew fast and gracefully Left my hood and grabbed the mic And I got me a girl that prays for me One more time I'll make it clear This some shit I hate to share Escape this life or pay the fare Grab this gun and aim it there Shoot my pain and slay my fear Before I die, I say my prayer Don't worry about the mess just lay me there This is all I got so lay me bare Look, one more time I'll make it clear This some shit I hate to share Escape this life or pay the fare Grab this gun and aim it there Shoot my pain and slay my fear Before I die, I say my prayer Don't worry about the mess just lay me there This is all I got so lay me bare Lay me, bare
