Yo
Now I was standin' in the middle of it all
Trying to face it
Everything around me has been a break in the chain that I placed faith
And it figures
Cause ever since I was a youngin'
I was running with the devil
In a race to the bottom of my patience
Scattered
Trying to pick the pieces off the ground
Love is nothing but a memory
I fight to keep around now
The beats on
But I'm laggin'
Never catchin' it
The never-ending circle
A definition of irrelevant, a man
With nothing but a pencil in his hand
Tryin' to scribble down it permanent
So he can feed his fam
But you take it all for granted
You walk into my temple open-handed
But you don't see the terrifying things that I've been keeping
Underneath these bloody bandages
You see the world's much realer on this side of the camera lens
You see depth, but only get six feet
I cheat d**h and never get no sleep
It doesn't matter who you are
The sun is gonna set behind you
All alone in these streets
It doesn't matter where you go
The night is always owed a little bit of ? inside you
It doesn't help you're never getting no sleep
Yo
Now Chords told me I should rap for a bit
f** a typical design
I was floating in the ether
Trying to ease a worried mind, feeling
Drunk, weaving, trying to leave it all behind
Life's mystery is leaving and chasing it through the vines
But I'm
Fine with it
I never need the definition
I'm getting used to them spelling me with a letter missing
Another pistol in my hand
Drawing pictures in the sand
When I'm slowly becoming one of my premonitions, heavy
They call me heavy
I was following the light that was shining
And signifying the ending of it
The flies gather in a bottle even if it's empty
It's tempting
To know that even just a simple little thought of it can leave them trembling on the floor
You looking at me like I haven't been around it before, man
You want the recipe for just one piece
I cheat d**h and never get no sleep
It doesn't matter who you are
The sun is gonna set behind you
All alone in these streets
It doesn't matter where you go
The night is always owed a little bit of ? inside you
It doesn't help you're never getting no sleep
