[Verse]

Only tellin' true stories, real life events

What you see is what you get, now do you get why I’m depressed?

Because I tell it like it is, I ain't sugarcoating shit

All this music is my therapy, the reason that I'll live

Forever, I communicate through art, it’s the window to my heart

No one thought I'd go this far, always known I was a star

They say “Dempsey, why you do that, you ain't had to go this hard”

I ain't droppin' bars, bitch, I set out to set the bar

Since a youngin, I've been playin' at a different level

Wired different, I'm just special, still ain’t rеached my full potential

All this talent comеs at a cost, demons that I wrestle

I’m a killer on these beats but I'm still sentimental

Check it out, mmm yeah, check me out

I’ve been up and I've been down, I've been north and I've been south

I done made it out the gutter, pussy, fuck you talkin’ ‘bout?

I'm a heavyweight, the greatest in the world, pound for pound, uh

Body rappers, nonchalant, spillin' blood, ménage à trois

I'ma pop, it won't be long, promise that my word is bond

Talks with God, we correspond, the world is mine, it's in my palms

Chasin' dreams until I'm gone, on track again, no longer lost

Fuck a break, right now I ain't got no time to waste

That hiatus that I went on last year was my worst mistake

But I guess I needed it, I had to fix my mental state

I almost took my life okay, I almost opened Heaven's gates

Thinkin' back, I was a different man then, that's me being candid

I felt so abandoned, alone and broken, damaged

I ain't even changed that much, I sorta just adapted

To everything that happened to me, this is chain reaction

I won't disappoint myself again, I'm goin' in

Born to win by any means, it's too late for me to quit

I can't focus on shit else, it's too hard for me to mix

I'm impossible to love but with this rap shit, I don't miss

Everything I been through made me stronger

In a world of my own, it's gets somber

Trapped in my mind, I can't help but wonder

That's one thing that I'm yet to conquer

Never been a motherfucker like me

This shit's off of the top I'm writing

And the flow stayed, I'm only rhymin'

Fuck a label, I'm never signing

Cuz I did this shit by my lonely

Double my cup and I'm sippin' it slowly

Uncontrollable, no one can hold me

Overtime I lost some homies

Couldn't believe it but they was all phonies, yeah

Loyalty's not what they showed me, yeah

All on their “up in they nose biz”, yeah

Ironic cuz they all below me, yeah

It's been a minute since I poured my spirit in this

I've been chasin' analytics, now I'm gettin' back to business

This is for my fans and critics, man, I'm puttin' on a clinic

Dawg, I'm way too hard to mimic, that's cuz when you're starved, you're driven

Give my all from start to finish, listen though, I'm far from finished

Came up from a dark beginning, numb to all the scars I live with

Fuck it, at all costs, I'm winning, can't nobody block my vision

Can't nobody stop my mission, head up in the stars, I'm spinnin'

Hold up, let me get up in my sad bag

Memories and flashbacks, never movin' past that

I'm psychopathic, problems burst out outta my brain, it's jam packed

Goin' down a rabbit hole, it's way too late to backtrack

Grew up fast, I never had a chance to be a kid

Old soul, fully grown, I don't know what I missed

All I'm left with are these tears, and all these scars up on my wrists

I have nightmares to this day of everything I ever did

I hurt people that I shouldn't have, the ones that I kept close to me

Burnt bridges that I can't get over cuz they're over me

No sorry I can say could fix shit, even in my poetry

But who am I to them? I guess I'm just another nobody

I bring in bad vibes, fantasizing suicide

Problematic, I'm so manic, I can't help but change my mind

All the time, I can't lie, everything is do or die

I try to wear a mask but I can't hide the pain behind my eyes

Yeah, and I ain't really all that spiritual

I'm realistic, real shit, I don't believe in miracles

To me, that's all satirical cuz all I know is tragedy

There's no prayers answered in my colorless reality

I ground in zero gravity, zero sense of normality

I gave up my morality, perusing immortality

Ain't runnin' outta battery, charged up, I'm movin' rapidly

I understand that no one could understand understanding me

Fuck it, I'm a lone wolf but this is in my apex

I ain't tryna make friends, I'm tryna get these pay checks

Y'all can keep on playin' checkers, I'ma keep on playin' chess

I'm waitin' on my moment, I'ma own it, yeah, the stage is set
