Lyrics

I don't know how much longer I can take it
Walls cavin' in and cracks all through my glass
Losin' all hope and all my motivation
It feel like life is happenin' too fast
But it can't wait for no one
Wish I had more time to breathe
Everyday I gotta show up
It don't matter what I need
Whether that's a vacation, a day off, some closure
More money, more lovin' from someone that cares
Or my dedication to pay off
Or stoppin' these thoughts sabotaging inside of my head
I can't escape 'em, my mind on the edge of oblivion
Visions of life after death
Sometimes I feel like I'm already dead
Tryna be patient
Alive and just waiting on positive changes, but I get upset
With the process of tryna make progress
Just bottlin' all my frustration
While fightin' complacency, trauma, temptation
All at the same time for me
It's an accomplishment that I decided to even get out of the bed
Ponder success as I'm poppin' these meds
Get hot when I think about all my regrets
Anxiety, stress
At my job for like 40 plus hours, monotonous tasks
Ain't got no outlet but jottin' these feelings and rhymes
But outside this shit, I feel depressed
Thinking 'bout civilization
This shit feel so copied and pasted
It's always the same shit
It's all been so draining, desensitization
Dissociating from times that we in
I try to face it
Discombobulated
Duality got me perplexed, it's God versus Satan
What really matters
If darkness will always be there
To balance the light
Like why am I fighting for peace, that's an oxymoron in itself
Fighting for freedom, you end up in jail
Always gon' be people needing more help
Always gon' be someone that disagrees with the message
All different sides of the spectrum
Can't change it so I just accept it
I couldn't be someone that sell they soul for aesthetic
I can't judge someone off a first impression
I'm 'bout authentic expression
I want authentic connection
Give you my heart and my spirit
I just wanna feel something special
Just wanna feel something at all
'Cause right now I feel numb to it all
Addicted to comfort, pushin' myself
Man I'm just tryna tough through withdrawals
I been so hurt by desire
Feel like I'd be better if I wanted nothin' at all
I gotta live to discover my cause
Most shit I don't give a fuck 'bout at all
Movin' through the city, uh
Who is really with me? Uh
Who just being friendly?
Who is out to get me?
Things I did wrong
Who don't want me winning?
Can I be forgiven?
Is there room for growth?
Or am I forever finished?
Should I try to fix it?
Should I move on?
Do it make a difference?
What really matters?
Is it pride?
On the grind 'til my pockets get fatter?
Houses that's bigger and bitches that's badder?
Shittin' on n- and clips gettin' scattered?
Envy will make n- hate that you reachin' new heights in your life
They try kickin' your ladder
We all end up in the same place
Every legacy dies, every heartbeat gon' flatten
Do I have a purpose?
What's the point of my life, is it worth it?
What's the point of advice, is it working?
I been giving my life, I been working
If I don't get it, do I not deserve it?
Everybody the villain in somebody story
Everybody justifyin' they means
Everybody justify what they see
So why does it matter if I'm a good person?
If you stay long enough, I'll eventually hurt you
We all got problems swept under the rug
Whether it's thrifted or Persian
Fear of conflict turned me into a hermit
Existential crisis, I'm hopin' it might be averted
Yehh
