[Chorus]

In those last 5 seconds where you gave into your demons

In those last 5 seconds when you realize you wanna stop breathing

In those last 5 seconds where you realize you love the wrong person

In those last 5 seconds when sudden death don't seem so sudden

In those last 5 seconds seeing loved ones in the rearview mirror

In those last 5 seconds when you went and pulled that trigger

In those last 5 seconds whеn the moment becomеs a picture

In those last 5 seconds where you wish time pass a little bit quicker

[Verse 1]

These the kinda projects that you gotta study for years in advance

Cuz there's a lot of lost souls in a trance

Everyone's got a killer's stance

Your kids can see the drugs in eyes of their parents

Witnessing the high breakdown but masked by hysterical reaction

Tears run down your face but a smile is cracking

At the rate you're abusing it

Your dealer refuse to refuel your antics

Cuz police cracking down in their section

Now more than ever you feel your body start regressing

[Chorus]

In those last 5 seconds where you gave into your demons

In those last 5 seconds when you realize you wanna stop breathing

In those last 5 seconds where you realize you love the wrong person

In those last 5 seconds when sudden death don't seem so sudden

In those last 5 seconds seeing loved ones in the rearview mirror

In those last 5 seconds when you went and pulled that trigger

In those last 5 seconds when the moment becomes a picture

In those last 5 seconds where you wish time pass a little bit quicker

[Verse 2]

She a designer collector turned carnivore

When it comes to the money she'll always need more

Putting her greed before her children's need

So now you back on that corner

Knowing that you might need a coroner

If somebody robs you of them quarters

Your kids might need to be adopted

You been out 4 hours, straight dolo rolling

But you notice, people in a brown datsun

They windows roll down and they holding

Now you bleeding out with everything stolen

Now you're hopeless

You ain't gonna make it to the next morning

[Chorus]

In those last 5 seconds where you gave into your demons

In those last 5 seconds when you realize you wanna stop breathing

In those last 5 seconds where you realize you love the wrong person

In those last 5 seconds when sudden death don't seem so sudden

In those last 5 seconds seeing loved ones in the rearview mirror

In those last 5 seconds when you went and pulled that trigger

In those last 5 seconds when the moment becomes a picture

In those last 5 seconds where you wish time pass a little bit quicker

[Verse 3]

I hear sirens

I smell gunpowder

I hear voices

I hear noises

I know that they got me

I shoot cousin [redacted]

Remember his body

Shaking and twitching

Hope nobody was watching

Passed the news

By niece and nephews

This a confession

Swear I would've done something

Told them to take a left

To end up in the opposite direction

But it was just a silhouette

That had a financial escape

That brought me to an imprisoned state

The tears on my face had the interrogator understand my place

[Chorus]

In those last 5 seconds where you gave into your demons

In those last 5 seconds when you realize you wanna stop breathing

In those last 5 seconds where you realize you love the wrong person

In those last 5 seconds when sudden death don't seem so sudden

In those last 5 seconds seeing loved ones in the rearview mirror

In those last 5 seconds when you went and pulled that trigger

In those last 5 seconds when the moment becomes a picture

In those last 5 seconds where you wish time pass a little bit quicker

[Verse 4]

Got charged

With manslaughter

Gang affiliation

Drug distribution

How will I get God's retribution

I'm simply stuck, mail came through

Letters from my niece and nephews

They wrote that they wanna visit

This next weekend

When the day came they gave me

Pics of the good old days

Wish I could revisit the frame

Locked up, double life

Might get the chair, yeah right

I hung myself that night

Then I realized, dying from asphyxiation takes some time

[Chorus]

In those last 5 seconds where you gave into your demons

In those last 5 seconds when you realize you wanna stop breathing

In those last 5 seconds where you realize you love the wrong person

In those last 5 seconds when sudden death don't seem so sudden

In those last 5 seconds seeing loved ones in the rearview mirror

In those last 5 seconds when you went and pulled that trigger

In those last 5 seconds when the moment becomes a picture

In those last 5 seconds where you wish time pass a little bit quicker
