[Intro: POETIK]

Ayy, this one goes out to my good friend Ryan Underwood

Rest in peace, brah, I wish you were here, we all miss you

And, um, tell the truth, I'm still drunk as fuck from your funeral, bro, shit

[Chorus: Hari & POETIK]

Got the weight on my shoulders (You know how we do it)

In the [?], I [?] (Miss you, bro)

Through the hate and disorder (Usos would still be here)

Fighting fire with torture (Wa, wa, wa)

In the moment, I [?]

Mercy, got my supporter

With the help of the soldier

Get these demons out of my corner


[Verse 1: POETIK]

Where would I be without my people who remain loyal?

Dead in the gutter probably, I'm a bad example for ya

See, I been drinkin', I been thinkin', plottin', escalatin'

Put the repercussions on these back-stabbers player hatin'

And I ain't got a lot of time, don't got a lot of patience

This life is taxin', I ain't out here seekin' validation

I do my dirt up on my lonely boy, I'm treacherous

The uso code is how I'm livin', man, it's just my nature

Fuck the police, they beat us down and call us nigga

And I don't mean it like the homies say, "I love you, nigga"

Whole different meaning; fuck the system, man, they so deceivin'

But see, I'm evil too; I came up thuggin', we was thievin'

Smokin' masati, rappin' hella fast like we from Cleveland

And we was robbin' too; I snatch a dude out his Adidas

Lost many homies on the way, I swear I'm always grievin'

Pourin' out liquor by the litre, tryna find a reaper

Better watch for creepers; keep your pockets tucked when 'round these preachers

If you don't hear from me this week, I'm probably fightin' demons

That's on the real, uce


[Chorus: Hari]

Got the weight on my shoulders

In the [?], I [?]

Through the hate and disorder

Fighting fire with torture (Ooh)

In the moment, I call on (In the morning, I call on)

Mercy, got my supporter (Ah, ooh ooh)

With the help of the soldier (Er-er)

Get these demons out of my corner


[Verse 2: Sefa M]

Look, say your prayer before I go out, hope in all my heart

Is life a movie? I been movin' while I play my part

Play my position, I been wishin' something gotta change

Made some decisions, I [?], I had it made

These memories play in my head of folks who passed away, I feel like Cast Away

I been lonely on this rock, I'm tryna stall but I just can't (Yeah)

They think just 'cause I'm a rapper, my main job is entertain (What?)

But they forget I got a heart behind these bars and all this pain

I lost my cousin to these streets and we still yell out "Rest in peace" (R.I.P.)

R.I.P. Lee, Freaky Boy and Freak Cheek ([?])

Rest in peace [?], until we meet

Deal with these losses like a boss, I get right back up on my feet

I take a breath and that anxiety is cloggin' up my chest

'Cause when you fought in our society, it's watchin' every step

They say they love you but know all of that is purely for the show

They say they with me but when I look back, I'm really on my own


[Chorus: Hari]

Got the weight on my shoulders

In the [?], I [?] (On)

Through the hate and disorder

Fighting fire with torture (Ooh)

In the moment, I call on (In the morning, I call on)

Mercy, got my supporter (Ah, ooh ooh)

With the help of the soldier (Er-er)

Get these demons out of my corner


[Outro: Hari]

Ooh, in the moment I call on God, ooh ooh, ah

Get these demons out of my corner
