[Intro: Byron]
Babe, turn me up
Get it right {laughs}
I love you too
So, what do I do, just spazz?
You know, you should really be here with me, you know that, right?
I think you should
[Verse: Byron]
Why would I be shocked with all that's happening?
Havoc is human nature
Lost my better half to that grave, bet they appreciate you since you're gone
Now they're stuck with the clichés and the nameless
Overshadowed by the thought of you possibly being famous
Permanent cologne is sin, everything's moving backwards
At him, but never get at him, subliminally attacking
This is what we're looking forward to?
Question they never ask is whether you would like your racism blatant, or systematic?
Tenacious attempts to be everything you see
There ain't no leaders round here, just you and me
They k** them all, just like height restrictions will k** hoop dreams
And if you make it, they'll probably k** you if you speak
I think highly of y'all, we're just good at making the worst decisions possible, dawg
We become our own obstacles before we make it out of the yard
The less fortunate will k** you if you got it before them, why?
Just look around you for a second
Observe your surroundings and know that you're probably a step away from tragedy
This is the environment you're set in
People keep dying, but that ain't even the scary part
Maybe I'm losing faith in y'all
The cops keep firing shots to create a racial war
But if we start firing back, that's bringing martial law
This isn't making sense, or maybe this is who really are
No serenity here, we just invade for oil
Opium and this ish, and then we fake a war as if we were minding our business
America the beautiful, oh how I resent this
Sure, I'm just a baby, maybe it's a façade
Maybe I'm losing my mind
Maybe I'm running out of time, so I'm using it wisely
Hopefully things change for the better, just a reminder of why I'm 97
Watch me sever ties
[Interlude: Byron]
There comes a point where you just lose all feeling
It isn't willingly, it just happens and you become numb
See, she was hurting really badly, and we couldn't stop it
Now I'll probably never hurt again
I'd k** just to feel even that one more time
So, when you think about saying F love and try to act heartless
Think about how you still have the ability to feel those feelings for someone
I don't…
[Sample: The Punisher]
You sit here and you're all confused about this thing, but you have it
You have everything
So hold onto it
Use two hands, and never let go, got it?
[Verse: Byron]
So many problems with your mind state
You look in the mirror in disgust, like you are not great
Even in your younger days, when innocence was a thing to you
Back when the only thing you would see outside wasn't pain to use for inspiration
The bullets fly and they didn't aim at you but whoever they hit
Whether you knew them or not, it was changing you
Making you into something dangerous
Detrimental to nobody but you and it's angering, I know you well
Thinking there has to be more to life than this
You're torturing yourself, and the arguments are inciting this
Every day of your life, it's like every word is a knife leaving you scarred
Sweaters and jackets ought to be nice enough to cover it, at least until they heal
Unfortunately, your soul is something that never will
That's frightening
How are you so intelligent?
Might it be due to telling your friend about how you're fighting your skeletons?
Or did you finally come to the realization that real life reveals time won't ever heal our hatred?
All the hoping people get it together is wishful thinking
I know it's taking a toll on you; that's why you're sinking deeper
The sole reason you hate when the shots ring out
Sound of a shell hitting the ground is all you think about
Looking into the eyes of a man gasping for air cause he can't breathe
You feel like crap cause you weren't there to help him
So you watch that video on repeat as it haunts you to point where you can barely even sleep
You can barely even eat because your stomach won't digest
You can't help it; he wasn't ready to die yet
You're afraid, because you don't know how to stop it
Difficult as it is, all your friends can do is watch it
As you slowly self-destruct with nothing more to lose but love and hope
Even though your friend is long gone, you're never letting go…
[Outro: Byron]
I can't breathe either
I can't breathe either…
{Sighs}
