[Intro]

How I feel, on a night when I’m this high

A better life, for my son can I provide

A better life, is what we promised

When we die, if its lies

Shit I was honest I was criticized, crucified

Who doesn’t contemplate suicide

Who am I?

Shit I got it made looking through your eyes

Looking through your eyes, I got it made


[Verse:1]

How I feel on a night when I’m this high

I’m a train wreck

A superman that doesn’t fly

Affection from women my kryptonite

Like something inside my mind was crippled when I was 5

And I made it my only purpose to get a dеal and be signed

Train wreck, to gеt a deal and be signed

Selling millions of records, a tall building to climb

I went over the world, one fan at a time

But once I got that under my belt, there was an emptiness

Still inside my stomach I felt

A void I couldn’t fill with all these plaques on the shelf

Been on so many flights, still I’m looking for steps

A wise man said you can study to death

But don’t know shit without the knowledge of self

Strangers know me better than I know myself

Tryna save the world, maybe I should help my self

You can’t buy loyalty no matter the wealth

Yeah, no matter the wealth

Before you’re crossing me look right, look left

I said before you cross me look right, look left

Because I’m a train wreck


[Verse:2]

Tryna help everyone else I hurt myself the most

I hurt myself the most

My heart cries tears of gold

This is the ballad of a hero, the path that I chose

I’m cautious when I get close

The outcome of making everybody's problem your own

Are they your friends or are they stunting your growth

I spread myself thin making all of this toast

The internet is not your friend

That silhouette is not your friend

Excessive praise is not your friend

Them bitches fucking on your nigga is not your friend, behind your back

Don’t give me green circles cuz we not close friends

Sometimes I feel like I ain’t got no friends

All these rappers dying, my fears is not gonna end

I’m tryna elevate

Tryna stack commas but all commas do is separate

And I speculate never went to oxford, but all I do is educate

I’m not above myself

Strangers know me better than I know myself

Before you cross me look right, look left

I said before you cross me look right, look left


[Outro]

Because I’m a train wreck

Train wreck

Because I’m a train wreck

Train wreck
