In the span of a year, i really feel like i lived and just died twice

Don't know how shit even happened, but my headspace paid the price

Asked my homies what they'd do, and still i took, my own advice

Don't how to let shit go

(I can't shake it off my life)

Gave it all to motherfuckers who decided they would do me in the worst way

I done let my guard down like so many times, and it's my fault, i brought about the worst pain

Had my heart on my sleeve, i got handed a controller just to play inside the motherfuckin worst game

I been feeling the apathy, i've been devoid of all trust, but i don't think it hurts me

Had to suffer the lowest of lows

Just for me to go learn who i am

I had to learn shit i ain't wanna know

Just for me to lock in on my plans

So much sorrow cuz i traveled this road, but i wouldn't change it if i had me a chance

So much development from all these hoes, i was tryna save em, now i'm tryna advance

I was drinking, crying, also smoking on cigarettes

Pain was all on full display

Hiding my face every time i stepped out, i don't even think anyone, got a "hey"

Fast forward to now, i look back on that time and remember a few of my folks were just lames

Fuck em to hell, cuz i got me a mission, that mission gon end with a whole lotta pay

Tried to pave a way

For me and someone else

Now i pave a way

For me, and myself

In the span of a year, i really feel like i lived and just died twice

Don't know how shit even happened, but my headspace paid the price

Asked my homies what they'd do, and still i took, my own advice

Don't how to let shit go

(I can't shake it off my life)
