Tension

I can't imagine what this life would be without my pain

I can't imagine gettin' through these nights and stayin' sane

'Cause I'm so used to fightin' demons, every night, I'm schemin'

Dreamin' for a life where I don't need a high to feel again

I'm so dependent, false independent

I choose who I associate with based off tension

I'm so defensive, tryna keep my head in

I keep on fallin', losin' sight of my intentions

Now I scoot on 'em, M.I.A.

Thuggin' through these leeches, swim, finna get away

Uh, know I was searchin' for better days

And if I end up in a hearse, least I got away, oh

I'm thinkin' shit that they ain't thought yet

I'm trippin', thinkin' shit that they ain't think's important

Uh, I'm buzzin' 'til we see the mornin'

Know it's gettin' late, we might not stop, becoming mornings

You movin' shameless, thought I wouldn't even notice

Not on my wavelength and I know you fuckin' know this

You still tryin' when you know just who the G.O.A.T. is

What's progress without pain?

Problems without blame?

Real energy in my space

I ain't breakin' bread with no snake

Some shit you haven't dealt with

It might just be projection

Just behind it, there's a lesson

Behind me, that's the bredrens

Posted in the back, still got two more in my pocket

Got the silence from the racket, I still do this shit for practice

Keep movin', you stay stagnant and my scars is so apparent

She still ridin' automatic so we might as well get married now

I'm still chippin' in my two cents, might've been a bad decision

Still sporting good intentions, that— that wasn't like me, no

But I bet you still like me, though, that's not a question

'Cause you know I'm still your best, give me my flowers, all the dues I'm owed

I can't imagine what this life would be without my pain

I can't imagine gettin' through these nights and stayin' sane

'Cause I'm so used to fightin' demons, every night, I'm schemin'

Dreamin' for a life where I don't need a high to feel again

I'm so dependent, false independent

I choose who I associate with based off tension

I'm so defensive, tryna keep my head in

I keep on fallin', losin' sight of my intentions
