I said I done ghosted all my friends like I've vanished in the mist

Feelin' distant from the world feeling like I just exist

Playin' chess with my demons every move in disguise

All the talks turn to whispers got no fire in my eyes

Used to rap for the fun that was fueled by my rage

Now I'm gettin high tryna break from this cage

Every day feel like an echo a loop on repeat

In a city full of life but I'm lost in the streets

Livin' in the trenches where the shadows do they dance

We hustle hard play the game never leave it to chance

Money on the mind but the streets so cold

Do whatever for the cash' that's the life that we sold

Dreams of escape but reality gon bite Rollin' dice with the fate under all those streetlights

Pain in my chest gotta numb it with the smoke

Counting cash while I'm hurt that's just how we taught to cope

Thinkin' 'bout my homies buried six feet deep

Yeah I lost a couple soldiers hard to sleep when you weep

Every corner that I turn it got echoes of the past

In a world full of snakes I be tryn cut the grass
