[Verse 1: The Rep]

I'm looking for this elevator door

But the only thing I see is an elevated rope

And it's hanging from the ceiling, suicidal thoughts

Could never make success but I could make a killing

And I am the abortion that was kept a secret

The teacher put his hands on me while we were having recess

You said you knew my pain but you ain't been through what I've been through

I can't find a razor to cut my wrists, so I sharpen up this pencil

And I try dodging this missile

I cry jobs in the tissue

It's my fault that I'm twisted

A time bomb and I'm ticking

I am your addiction

Turn the lights off in that house

Turn the computer on in that room

Hope that no one else will find out

(Hope that no one else will find out)

I think I crossed over the line

Tryna to get sober, I'm fine

Gimme the keys to the car

Having a couple of drinks doesn't mean I don't know how drive

I go to sleep and I open my eyes

How can I get peace when I'm broken inside?

Tryna get deep as the ocean is wide

Smoking this weed helps me open my mind

(Open my mind)

The minute I'm sober, I write

Swallowed a lie

I am the voice, telling the truth, you'll never die

Sell me your soul, give me your mind

You only live once, there's plenty of time

There's always tomorrow, pray for a sign

God doesn't exist, He's just in your mind

(Just in your mind, just in your mind, just in your mind)


[Chorus: The Rep]

I used to snort hero'

I used to pop pills

I used to slang cocaine

This is how we live

Coming up in the dough game

Heavy, oh so heavy

The pain is so heavy

It'll make you think I don't exist

Well welcome to the 13th floor 'cause this is where he lives


[Verse 2: Govenor Reiss]

At fifteen I was snorting cocaine, at sixteen I was on dope

Look at me, a young teenager, the definition of no hope

Young east beast, I was in these streets, AR with a scope

Worked around the clock, I sold rocks from off my porch

I'm talking deepest depths of darkness

A youngin', I come up heartless

And it's murder after murder, raised in New Orleans

Lord, do you hear me callin'? I hope I got the right number

All I knew is that without your name, my spirit, man he hungers

My body say give up but in the midst of all this evil

I pray God show me mercy and protection for his people

I'm tryna be transparent and get it off my chest

'Cause I know truth gon' set me free and I get strength when I confess

See I'd prolly never found Jesus if I first never found the bottom

Crime in my city, New Orleans something like Gotham

You can take God out of the schools but you can't take 'em out of my life

Leave my past, become my purpose, now my soul is hid in Christ


[Chorus: The Rep]

I used to snort hero'

I used to pop pills

I used to slang cocaine

This is how we live

Coming up in the dough game

Heavy, oh so heavy

The pain is so heavy

It'll make you think I don't exist

Well welcome to the 13th floor 'cause this is where he lives


[Bridge: The Rep]

I'm-I'm-I'm the life

I'm-I'm-I'm the bread

Come and drink my blood

Come-come-come and eat my flesh

Those who trust in me-me-me-me

They will never die

So serve me with all your heart

See-seek and you shall find


[Chorus: The Rep]

I used to snort hero'

I used to pop pills

I used to slang cocaine

This is how we live

Coming up in the dough game

Heavy, oh so heavy

The pain is so heavy

It'll make you think I don't exist

Well welcome to the 13th floor 'cause this is where he lives
