Lyrics

Yeah
Down bad as hell, man.
Bills screaming, stomach yelling
Last thing I got left.
Controller in my hand one more time
Used to come home, fire up the system, escape the bullshit
Lights off, headphones on, forget the world for a lil’ bit
Now the fridge empty again, eviction notice on the table
Gas light blinking red, can’t even make it to the cable
I been applying nonstop, still nobody calling back
Depression got me drowning, another mental heart attack
This the final stage, when life really got you by the throat
Everything else gone now I’m selling what I love the most
That console been my peace since shit first hit the fan
Late nights grinding campaigns, forgetting I’m a broke-ass man
But the pawn shop down the street offering enough for two weeks’ rent
Feels like I’m burying a friend, man this shit don’t make no sense
I’m down bad, had to pawn my game system
Last line of defense, now even that I’m missing
When life get this tough, you know you at the bottom
Selling your escape just to keep the lights on
Controller in the case, tears in my eyes as I walk in
Pawn man looking at me like “another one lost again”
This the real trap soul when the game over for real
Had to let it go now tell me how the fuck I heal?
Remember building my setup when times were kinda decent
LED lights glowing, squad on the mic every weekend
Now it’s quiet in here, just me and these four walls closing in
Voices in my head saying “you ain’t shit, give up and quit”
I wrapped the cords real slow, like I was saying goodbye
Wiped the dust off the console, chest feeling heavy, no lie
Told myself “it’s temporary, I’ma get it back one day”
But deep down I know that’s cap life don’t really work that way
Bills past due, stomach touching my damn spine
Pawning this feels like I’m crossing some invisible line
From grown man to desperate, humility in full effect
Swallowing my pride while I sign on the dotted X
I’m down bad, had to pawn my game system
Last line of defense, now even that I’m missing
When life get this tough, you know you at the bottom
Selling your escape just to keep the lights on
Controller in the case, tears in my eyes as I walk in
Pawn man looking at me like “another one lost again”
This the real trap soul when the game over for real
Had to let it go now tell me how the fuck I heal?
It wasn’t just a console, it was my therapy
Hours in them pixels helped me fight the misery
Now I’m sitting in the dark with nothing left to play
Reality unpaused, hitting me every day
I know I gotta eat, I know I gotta survive
But damN this one hurt different, feel like part of me died
Walked out that pawn shop with a couple hundreds in my hand
Enough to buy some groceries and push the eviction off again
But the silence in my room hit harder than expected
No more late-night missions, feeling disconnected
I’m back to zero, focus on me like I said before
But losing that last joy got me hurting to the core
One day I’ma rebuild, stack it up, get it back
Till then I’m in my head replaying all them old tracks
Down bad real down bad
But I’m still here
Barely pressing forward
Pawned my escape yeah
When life get this tough
This the bottom
Trapsoul for the ones who had to sell they peace
One day at a time
