[Bridge]
Where you been? (x4)
[Chorus]
Been a slave to the system
And though I was sick
I misdiagnosed the symptoms
Been working for the man
Who said he'd set me free
Soon as I line his pockets with green
So here I am (x2)
[Verse I]
Where you been 1/2-E?
Where you going 1/2-E?
Seen you acting now homie
But you ain't looking happy
We just concerned about your well being
Ain't seen you tweeting so we figure
That you gone ether
And why'd you delete your social media?
We needed ya
My fam knows of sucide too
So when we listened to you
It gave us brave face among the cynical
You spoke with courage
From the same space I was going through
Your musics a safe place, for us
The miserable
And I swear if you come back
I'll be at every show
Hoping you'd play "f** Me"
See you ain't afraid to get ugly
That's why you lose your mind sometimes
Cause anybody would go crazy locking those demons inside
So I send you this text
In hopes for reply
That it might inspire you to go write
[Interlude]
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
[Verse II]
I've been avoiding this sea of misery
This ocean is deceptive in seconds
Your second guessing
Everyone's loyalty
And truthfully, I've been struggling on dry land
Imagine that, Pirate gangs first mate
A slave to the dollar bill
Wants to escape the Suicide belt
Without any sk**s
See friends commit rape
Betrayed by the state
Since This is the Place
This place is f**ing hell
Families on d**
But I'm on 'em too
So whom I to judge?
I slip away and hibernate
Inside my apartment
Waiting to clear my concious
And though I've fought for this
I'm still astonished you're rocking my nonsense
And when you pop in this mixtape
It'll make me feel great
I'll ride shotgun as an accomplice
You don't have to wait
No, you don't have to wait
You don't have to wait
[Chorus]
