Lyrics

Break
Free from draining energy
Mate, but never date on no Beverly
Unbearably, she on Derek
When you’re away, so hit on Amber Lee
When you’re at the club
That’s her name right?
Doesn’t even matter if without the booze she a six high
Cause a lot of bourbon in me
What I see is a stiff Nine
I’m hoping to take her to my crib to suck some face and then Six Nine
You tuning into a menace
It’s like the horrid words I say
In times of sorrow form a codependence
Blood was shed
A multi decade battle went on
A lot was left unsaid
But there was nothing from the time I left off
It shouldn’t have been a shock to you
To see in life I still won
I wouldn’t have died stuck as a loser
I will always be strong
I will never fold, in fact I’m beating your ass
But-if they had been through what I had, they’d eat a gun and then blast
I faced an edge of a mountain ‘bout a year ago
Instead of jumping, gave a call to nueve double ocho
This life is worth it
Your life is worth it
Your life is worth it
This life is worth it
Dig for gold
The government job helped you
Excel
But what about
Him and I?
You left us with psychopaths
To leech off an empty soul
I be still forgiving you
But there’s still some memories I will never forget
I’m gonna take it to my grave
But I be growin too much
To let the pain and regret
Define the way I walk this planet
Like I did in the past
Wouldn’t feel anymore
And didn’t need anyone
I won’t achieve, I’m a bum
On this rock feeling numb
Should I jump?
Should I dive head first?
I would die for sure!
The demon dwelling in my head would burn!
Ignore the stupid music saying
“You should be angry”
Instead embark on happiness
And walk away if their aura is tangy
Cutting worthless people off
Is how I’m re-ha-bilitating
It doesn’t matter if you’re family
Your energy is irritating
This life is worth it
Your life is worth it
Your life is worth it
This life is worth it
