Lyrics

(V. 1)
End it all now, yeah I should end it right now
That's what's going through my head, but I'm wondering how
How I got to this point, how I got to this place
Why I'm not happy with life, I'm not happy in my space
And they throw it in my face like yo, you're not alone
But it weighs even harder with the older I grow
I've been drinking more and more, man I can't put down the bottle
Can't admit I got a problem, spiraling full throttle
Down this fucking rabbit hole, never-ending depression
They wanna bring me back up, but I need to learn my lessons
On my own, by myself, the way I came in the world
I've been thinking bout the future of my little baby girl
She may be better off without her daddy around
Would she have a better life if I was 6 feet underground
Na, I gotta stop with this negative state of mind
But it's hard to keep ya head up when ya down most of the time
(Hook)
I try to keep the vibes from bringing me down
Depression at a peak, mind is spinning around
I don't know where I'm going anymore
Waking down this road all alone, I want more
More time to myself, more time with my girls
More time for the truth in this fast paced world
I try to go to sleep, but all I do is think
I'm slipping in the dark, yeah, I just sink
(V. 2)
I'm sinking like a ship, man I'm in deep shit
Cuz the currents too strong, and i just can't swim
Life ain't worth living if you never feel the rhythm
I've been driven too far, giving all I can give it
It's kinda funny how lifes a rollercoaster, up and down
Transported to the past with familiar sounds
I miss the way it used to be, easier times
All the shit we used to do, hit the bowl, and just vibe
Now I sit and wonder why, where my life went wrong
The only outlet I got, lyrics in every other song
I can write and record, then I always hit a block
This is what I want to be in life, so it's a shock
Cuz I don't have the inspiration to be like these other artists
Be unique all I want, but I never hit the target
I just wanna be known for all the thoughts that I think
But instead of recognition, damn, I just sink
(Hook)
I try to keep the vibes from bringing me down
Depression at a peak, mind is spinning around
I don't know where I'm going anymore
Waking down this road all alone, I want more
More time to myself, more time with my girls
More time for the truth in this fast paced world
I try to go to sleep, but all I do is think
I'm slipping in the dark, yeah, I just sink
(V. 3)
I just want the recognition for the music I make
I'm not worried bout the numbers or the money or the fame
I just want a bunch of fans who will vibe to my shit
I just want every release to feel like a Christmas gift
But I'm stuck in the studio, steady stuck in my mind
It's me versus me, every single fucking time
So depression sets in, contemplating the end
Every project I've released, all flop, I never win
All I do is sin, but I try to keep my faith
Where is God when you need him in this dirty rat race
If he cared about his children like the good book says
Then why we got thoughts like we'd be better off dead
I wanna believe, for every lie there's a truth
For every bad motherfucker, there's someone that's worse than you
Well today, it's me, and all I do is think
How I was so high up, now all I do is sink
(Hook)
I try to keep the vibes from bringing me down
Depression at a peak, mind is spinning around
I don't know where I'm going anymore
Waking down this road all alone, I want more
More time to myself, more time with my girls
More time for the truth in this fast paced world
I try to go to sleep, but all I do is think
I'm slipping in the dark, yeah, I just sink
