Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm barely hanging on by thread
Was holding out for a hero but they got me instead
Seen motherfuckers rock a vest and still get shot in head
Was hanging by the wrong corner again
They said the weed from California with a toy in a bag
Yeah right, I need my packs all airtight
Some 151 proof rum cut the Fahrenheit
Fuck another rapper stereotype
Do anybody know who comin' out the stereo? I might
Put up a fight till my dying breath
If I'm lying, God would strike me dead right after this line would end
A lot of envy from those supposedly my friends
It's crazy, one of 'em might do it instead
I ain't threat but y'all in debt to an iron fist
Just drunk as fuck on a Tuesday tryna find somewhere to piss
The prize fighter with my name on the paycheck
Could never get embarrassed 'less my grandkids ain't fed
You better off playing dead then a war
I seen a lot motherfuckers eat off shit I don't get credit for
Had rap money to my name before a credit score
But still I haven't blown up yet, now the pressure enormous
[Chorus]
I got tired of playing hangman
Took a tough loss, played your best, still you hang your head
I swear I'm barely hanging on by a thread
I'm too high nowadays, I barely hang with my friends
And I don't give a fuck bout making amends
Promise that we won't be shaking no hands, because I need 'em to
And sometimes a cliffhanger is the best way to end
[Verse 2]
Man, say less
Just been praying for it to make sense
Spent some days depressed, getting high, laying in my bed
Why my life feel like it's trailing towards the end?
But nobody try to save you when you hanging off the ledge
So place your bets on who name is next
These rappers still could lose a chain if it was taped to they neck
Pressing me on if I listened to they tape, yet truthfully, I did
Dawg, and that shit was mid, bro, I ain't impressed
Never really been afraid of my death
If it were up to me, these money trees would hang me by my neck
Respects paid to me, fear second
Tappin' in every city, only be here for a second so
Maybe see me hungover in the airport
With my layover flight delayed so I can't board
Used to pack a quarter point in my JanSport
I'm at the bar a lot but often wonder what I'm there for
[Chorus]
I got tired of playing hangman
Took a tough loss, played your best, still you hang your head
I swear I'm barely hanging on by a thread
I'm too high nowadays, I barely hang with my friends
And I don't give a fuck bout making amends
Promise that we won't be shaking no hands, because I need 'em to
And sometimes a cliffhanger is the best way to end
