Under the 101, overpass, cold wind biting my skin

Santa Rosa nights, unforgiving for the state I'm in

My world fits in a backpack loaded with meth

A stolen .45 on my lap guarding my rest

I tie off my arm under a flick of light

Meth in a spoon, no glamour left, no fight

I register blood then drive the plunger in

Fire fills my veins, let the madness begin

Meth supernova heart beating out my chest

Three days awake, yeah, I'm cheating death

For a moment, I'm not homeless, I'm a king instead

Delusions of grandeur flood out of my head

But soon the high turns to paranoia

Shadows whisper my name

Demons, meth born or real, either way I'm insane

My finger on the trigger now, every shadow might attack

In the north bay, midnight, ain't nobody got my back, nah

My jaws clenched tight, I'm tweaking in high gear

I reach for the fentanyl dragon, I'm fucking done here

One hit and I'm flatline, tiptoeing on deaths tightrope

Between heaven and hell every night

Chasing hope, hope, north bay, not so cold

My soul's fire, flickers low

Dancing with the devil tomorrow

I might not know my name

Name name name name name

Name name name name name

Crush a little fent, that devil ready to chase

Lighter under foil, I inhale deaths embrace

The chemical kiss, hits my lungs, heavy and sweet

Warm numb, fills my body, I'm dead on my feet

Stumble

Vision narrows to pinpoints, the world starts to slide

The tightrope snaps, I feel nothing inside

I crumble to the ground, skin turning ash and gray

No pulse, no breath, my soul slips away

Everything's quiet and black

Am I finally free

Drifting out of my body

How's my body drifting out of me

I float above, see my form sprawled in the dirt

Lips blue, eyes vacant, no more pain, no more hurt

My friend shakes my shoulder, screaming in the night

His tears cut the darkness, not today, you gotta fight

Death's cold, hand grips me, tryna drag me below

I hear another homie yell, bro, no, don't let go

He slams, Narcan into me, an angel's venomous kiss

White light explodes in my brain, shattering the abyss

I crash back into my body, coughing and gagging

Ripped out of the afterlife, my soul violently snapped

I jolt awake on the ground, gasping like a child

Chest burning, head pounding, limbs shaking wild

While my homies holding me tight, shaking and hella mad

No, thought I lost you, fool, his voice breaking sad

Yeah, I'm puking and trembling, yeah, Narcan makes you sick

It takes away your high, do nothing but sit

For a moment, I wish I stayed gone, to escape my wife

Walk a day in my shoes, you take your own life

Pissed that he saved me, no, medic's just nerve

Out here, we guard each other, no one else will serve

Ain't calling 911, cops rather cuff us than care

We only trust our own in this life of despair

I'm alive in this gutter, breathing this pain enough

I stared death in the face and came back, this life is tough

Tomorrow ain't promised out here on these streets

But tonight I cheated death, my heart still beats

One hit and I'm flatline, walking death's tightrope

Between heaven and hell every night, there is no hope

North Bay not so cold, my soul's gone low

Dancing with the devil tomorrow

Tomorrow might not know my name

Name name name name

707, something something steel

But I'm still here, 707
