Eh yo, welcome to my world, please listen
|
HEY!
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
Poison in my veins, inside I'm torturing my brains,
|
And still I try, aiaiai
|
Voices in my head, am I alive or am I dead,
|
Alone I cry, aiaiaiai
|
|
[Verse 1:]
|
The shit that I'm in and the pain, I'm literally going insane
|
I'm frightened, my heart and my head have been fightin
|
I'm certain that it's hurtin the rest of my body
|
Them voices as loud as manhattan come chattin,
|
They say? and you kno you better than al of these replicates screamin they represent
|
C'mon man c'mon man
|
And the people inside me say they wanna see me go on tragically
|
And it's evil, cause I'm only 20 something working for a crumbs n some bread
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Verse 2:]
|
The harder the struggle the deeper the trouble,
|
Come out of the bubble, I'll teach you to cuddle,
|
With demons inside me, what demon is not me,
|
These demons inside me they got me, they stop me from feedin,
|
And eatin and keepin it even, and even my reason for breathin this season,
|
Sleetin in a danger, my nose when I'm readin, it's bleedin on paper,
|
It's bleedin on paper,
|
And I'm tired of this violence, so tortured inside?, akward and overly open inside, have I already died,
|
Has mom already cried? And why do I feel like I'm over this life,
|
I'm not hateful, I'm grateful, my girlfriend is tasteful, livin it up,
|
I might even blow, like a leak in a truck, with a torch and a clutch,
|
And explosion that leaves a whole? of dust, and the people,
|
Inside me saying, they wanna see me go tragically,
|
And it's evil, cause I'm only twenty something, working for some crumbs and some bread
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
[Verse 2:]
|
I'm still awake, and it's quarter to six,
|
I'm trying to write and I ain't thought of no shhh,
|
I live with guilt like I slaughtered the sick,
|
I live with shame, like my daughter a bitch,
|
I don't make living but I still persist, I could sell out but I still resist,
|
So don't tell me about no pain and shit,
|
I was born and raised in poverty bitch,
|
And I smile all the while and don't complain,
|
I'm something like gail scott heroine,
|
Do you know what it feels like to lose a friend, again and again and again, again
|
The bitterness in the killer the poet, the river of blood within the mess flowin,
|
I'm the bitterness in the killer the poet, the river, the blood will keep on flowin,
|
People inside me say, the wanna see me go on tragically,
|
And it's evil, it's evil, cause I'm only twenty something years old working for a crumb or some bread or nothin
|
|
[Chorus: until end]
|
