[Verse 1: Beast 1333]

Don't say what up, man, you don't know me

You ain't never suffered inside a building with no heat

You ain't never been so hungry you cried yourself to sleep

Put my feet through the street, the rain, snow or sleet

You're talking all that shit that you hold in your pack heat

Got the ox in the pocket, a slice of the mincemeat

Take a seat, all my life, there's people I have mistreat

Shit ain't sweet, where I glide on a beat, you can't compete

Another treat from the Beast, a blessing in both ears

Never fear, make it clear, been killing it ten years

Switching gears, first I'm spittin' it slow, then I'm mad fierce

About to gauge the situation like gettin' both ears pierced

Cause the way that I string them together is so magic

It's tragic that I never found love on this whole planet

Don't panic when I'm spittin' this lava as a volcanic

Botanic, cause I'm grinding and twisting and blow-manic

Then I take a deeper breath as I take it all in

Hear the sound of the rain and the feelin' of my skin

See the growth and the beauty of the children of my kin

Feel the sun on my face and it's waking the environment

And the people that we love are the ones that we hurt most

We dropping our defenses and letting them get close

Adios as they leavin' relationship now toast

Had a dose, I was fucking, she gripping the bedpost

Coexisted for a couple years she was my daisy

We had a couple of cribs, man, she was my baby

It was crazy, we both went through shit in the 80s

We should've stuck together, she aborted my baby

It was cagey, it was snowing at night, she took flight

Was shady, she planted a secret and no fights

She left me in the dark, in the wilderness, no lights

I'll never fall again for this shit in my whole life, I'm a


[Chorus: Ivanna Skye]

In the sunken place

Gone without a trace

Heartbreak and disgrace

In the sunken place


[Verse 2: Beast 1333]

I'ma tell 'em how I told 'em to tell 'em to tell you

The memories are fadin', no longer can smell you

Something deep inside that was hurting compelled you

Now you gone and I'm losing the head at the Bellevue

Cuz you hurt me in the deepest way

Only thought about yourself when your friends were coming over you would sneak away

I should have seen the screaming signs

But I was blinded by your beauty

And addicted to your energy and evil mind

I leave behind my broken heart

So someday somebody find a broken pieces

Try to glue together broken parts

But it'll never be the same

Every single time that you was wrong

You're pointing fingers at me saying he's the blame

Won't stop feel the pain

Doing jobs on the side to provide our slide

Trying to be your man, you flew away like Peter Pan

I still got the last meal that you cooked chilling, sitting in the freezer, damn

What possessed you to scram?

You ain't never had my back when I was hurting

Trying to get about another gem

And matter of fact, I think about it

You would crucify me for the smallest things

As your nagging makers think about it

Memories are getting clouded

Every time I light a spliff, it hurt a little less

I'm trying to forget about it, it'll never go away

I try to muffle out the feeling, try to muscle through the agony another day

And you don't care the way I feel, I guarantee you that

She don't think about you the way you think about her, know the deal

Two-time, I know the real

Another nigga probably smashing up the buns

Already learning how that pussy feel

Taking time for me to heal, just gotta cope with it, meditate

I must admit, I tried about a thousand ways

Never have I gone astray, I'm in a sunken place

Now it's time for me to go, I'm running out of words to say

(I'm stuck) I don't wanna go back, it's so whack

The fact I tapped that got smacked and that's that

(I'm stuck) Only wish her the best

Was obsessed, suppressed, impressed, yes, with stress and now blessed

(I'm stuck) I will never give trust

It's unjust, disgust, we just us, combust, I'll just lust

(I'm stuck) Better when I'm alone, been disowned

Switched phones, then she got on a plane and switched zones


[Chorus: Ivanna Skye]

In the sunken place

Gone without a trace

Heartbreak and disgrace

In the sunken place
