Lyrics

No more pain inside me

Be as loud as you want, man, this ain't a library

This is my party

I wanna see my uncle serenade my auntie

And my mother smiling

And my brothers wilding to the lyrics I recited on nutty violins

When we were young and just undecided

Make sure my sister's nice

Hug my sister twice and tell her you got her

Like I would have her if I was still alive

And if my dad shows tell him no hard feelings

'Cause my cold bars came from his cold heart

And he's the reason

But really no hard feelings

'Cause I'm a man too and I understand you

Without you even having to teach it

Really

I just do whatever I want whenever I see fit

Well at least I did

And this is coming from my soul

Shit

Tell little Red that she's the one

And I'm ready when she comes

If she ever wants to roll

But they can't see me

Only me

I don't know if they feel me

Shit

Lord I remember when the ends were cool (Ends were cool)

Man I remember when the love was true (Love was true)

'Cause I'm just tryna support my life (Support my life, yeah)

Hope I don't end up on life support (I'm just tryna support my life)

Life support

Boy I remember you

You were so happy before you were even rapping

Before you were on a pedestal

Before they put that weight on your shoulders

You used to play with the olders

Kicking a leather ball

Had a little Nokia phone and they were never cool

But you were forever cool

You weren't writing any verses

It was two player game, me versus you

Never had a game over your house

Only stress you ever had was your curfew

Everybody used to be so nice then

But now everybody's out here tryna hurt you

Just when you were really 'bout to take off

That's when they hit me with the worst news, yeah

They said you were on a life support

Just tryna fight the force

They told me pull the plug but you'll fight this through

Said you're heading to a better sentence

But they don't know what you've been tryna do

I know your heart, I know your mind

I know the only thing you hate is overtime

I know you're tired of life and it's no surprise

I still see the younger you when I close my eyes

And you play more than you pray

But you still believe in God

Took the music high and your crew's so fire

But you probably made Jesus cross

And I anticipate your return, my boy

I'll see you smile again

One day you can run away

And just reclaim your life again

Lord I remember when the ends were cool (Ends were cool)

Man I remember when the love was true (Love was true)

'Cause I'm just tryna support my life (Support my life, yeah)

Hope I don't end up on life support (I'm just tryna support my life)

Life support

Girl, d'you remember me? Shit, damn

How the fuck I let these people turn me to a memory? Shit, damn

I remember when I promised you that I would never leave

You were about to spend the next couple hours

Buying flowers and laying them in the cemetery

Right next to where they buried me

Heaven ain't heavenly

How can heaven not be heavenly?

'Cause I ain't got my friends with me

Hope you get this letter B

And I look forward to receiving what you send to me

You could even write to Amy Winehouse, nah

'Cause she got the same address as me, yeah

And every morning when she's showering

I always hear her singing Valerie, yeah

Why don't you come on over?

Don't make no sense now

There ain't no Uber cab I can send out

I don't dress up no more, I just dress down

But it's kinda cool, I don't pay no rent now

I just needed some space

Now I need to escape, yeah

And now I feel out of place

'Cause everyone I'm here is too good for me, yeah, yeah

Lord I remember when the ends were cool (Ends were cool)

Man I remember when the love was true (Love was true)

'Cause I'm just tryna support my life (Support my life, yeah)

Hope I don't end up on life support (I'm just tryna support my life)

Life support

Lord I remember when the ends were cool (Ends were cool)

Man I remember when the love was true (Love was true)

'Cause I'm just tryna support my life (Support my life, yeah)

Hope I don't end up on life support (I'm just tryna support my life)

Life support

Yeah

Who the fuck are these people standing around

And talking shit right now, man, like?

Yeah, uh-huh, yeah, uh, yeah, uh-huh, yeah, woo

I'm 'bout to pull this plug out of me, man

I don't wanna be here, man

Uh, yeah, uh-huh, yeah, woo, yeah, uh-huh, yeah

I'm 'bout to pull this fucking plug myself

'Cause they told me not to love myself

I need to die to be alive

I hear voices

I hear voices and they got opinions

But I need choices

To feel like there's any point in— wait

To feel like there's any point in living

And that's why I get annoyed with women

'Cause they just want me to be the sweetest

And I'm tryna be the best that did it

And they don't even see the reason

But they keep on speaking 'bout my lyrics

I guess they just wanna be the reason

And I'm tryna

Shit, damn
