[Verse]

Years in a blink and it drops, swerve to the side and bring to a stop

Another shot for the kin that I lost and one time for the kin that I got

This life, is it enough? Down in the dumps, we live for the ups

Yeah, we live for the ups, tipped in a cup, pour for a thought and drink ‘til it’s numb

But I don’t know how the crown has kings, feels like yesterday, just some rowdy kids

Nightlife never stopped, we were downin’ drinks, goin’ round for round for round for round

I’m fixin’ the belly o’ the beast, tryna drown our sins, don’t know how we made it out this shit

With all the clouds o’ pip and all the powder sniffed, lookin’ at an early grave from how we lived

But now we grown men, the perspectives changed and I can see the fault in my reckless ways

But half the fans’d followed us when we led the way, and still stuck in the path that our rep’s betrayed

I mean, I see ‘em blowin’ up on the net these days, bunch o’ lost little boys with their heads decayed

But who am I to talk? I would’ve never changed, if Lily wasn’t about, I could be dead today

Could be left insane from all the endless pain and usin’ meth to blaze, abusin’ meds again

Or just a mental case feelin’ depressed from fame or when I picked up a piece with revenge to take

Like I guess I temped fate, but I could never cash out ‘til my debts were paid

I owe that to my fans that I led astray to show the road that I walked was to an empty place

I see it all the time, those that lead the game, but live a morbid life

Up on their Instagram, the shit’s glorified, preachin’ suicide and gettin’ all the likes

Call me a hypocrite ‘cause I was more than fine with settin’ bad examples when performin’ rhymes

But I can see the future through my daughter’s eyes, so enough’s enough, time to draw the line

So you can call me out, but that just shows you don’t know what the fuck I’m talkin’ ‘bout

We could’ve gone to war and had a fallin’ out, I could’ve ran through your show when you walked my town

‘Cause I know some real cunts who would’ve stormed the crowd and stuck a shiv in your guts just for talkin’ loud

But I’m the one to talk ‘em down, saw the gravity of it before it all went south

It’s different from the days of old, now the music’s changin’ and the game’s evolved

Before Hunter died and the Hoods made it gold, before the internet was where the fame was sold

Before the industry could ever take control, but got lost on the way and it made us cold

But we can shape the future with the way we roll, with the effect that we have and the weight we hold

See? A lot of us’ve fought depression, but I guess it comes down to the raw intentions

When we’re sellin’ an image and givin’ more attention, the fans follow suit, but can’t form perspective

This rap shit’s been an awesome blessin’, but it’s a double-edged sword, I reckon

Elevated those who sought ascension, but with the wars from tensions, all progressin’ to somethin’ that I call to question

We all ready to fight for the shit that we spit when we get on a mic

But then we hit rock bottom and our energy’s fried, makin’ bad decisions and have a hell of a ride

But is that what we tell to a child who looks up to us thinkin’ anything’s fine?

But that’s my opinion, so I let you decide if you wanna make it right before the end o’ the line

[Chorus]

Yeah, the life I’d led was killin’ me

But I can see the power that it’s given me

‘Cause I’m just lookin’ at the endless possibilities

If we can just take some responsibility

Yeah, the life I’d led was killin’ me

But I can see the power that it’s given me

‘Cause I’m just lookin’ at the endless possibilities

If we can just take some responsibility

Yeah, the life I’d led was killin’ me (Life I’d led was killin’ me)

But I can see the power that it’s given me (Power that it’s given me)

‘Cause I’m just lookin’ at the endless possibilities (Endless possibilities)

If we can just take some responsibility

Yeah, the life I’d led was killin’ me (Life I’d led was killin’ me)

But I can see the power that it’s given me (Power that it’s given me)

‘Cause I’m just lookin’ at the endless possibilities (Endless possibilities)

If we can just take some responsibility
