[Intro]

You say you're right by my bedside

(You did good, $lick)

(It's a smash)

Pull me back to life

(L-l-l-lonely boy)


[Verse 1]

Don't know what you heard, but it's probably true

Whole gang got sticks, don't get Bonnie Blue'd

Too high to feel, other than that I'm not in the mood

Don't see me comin' back from this, ooh

Ayy, runnin' out of time, runnin' out of time

Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy

Ayy, runnin' out of time, runnin' out of time

Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy

Yeah, so much on my mind, don't know how they sleep

Paid for all these scars and they weren't cheap

Walkin' past the mirror, fraud what I see

Know it wasn't much, but I gave all of me

Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy

Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy

Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy

Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy


[Bridge]

Yeah, ain't finna show no fear, my head held high

They don't know deep inside that I'm terrified

Finna pop these pills 'til I'm paralyzed

It's hell to livе a lie

Yeah, I got hella problеms, hella trauma

Yeah, hella doctors, I pay hella dollars

Yeah, no helicopters, but it's hella choppers

Somewhere in the sticks, trippin' like I'm Aaron Rodgers


[Verse 2]

I'm on the phone with my brother binding over trauma

Bunch of issues that we got tyin' back to mama

Can't forgive myself, I did like them and broke a promise

What was done to me, I done to him, I wasn't there

Look at my brother, I see me, and now I'm gettin' scared

My other brother OD'n couldn't even say a prayer

Say I believe in God, but live like He ain't even there

Cut me, I bleed despair

Yeah, fuckin' right, I need every dollar, I done gave them all of me

My wife, my family, 'til I die, won't have no privacy

Look, Dad, I did it—turned your name into a dynasty

Only cost me everything I had inside of me

So much anxiety, I try to suffer quietly

Got pills that quiet me, but fuck up my sobriety

Laugh at the irony, try to see the show, but ain't hire me

Motherfuck a hit song, I'm givin' y'all my diary


[Refrain]

Runnin' outta time, runnin' outta time

Runnin' outta time, runnin' outta time

Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy

Runnin' outta time, runnin' outta time

Ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy


[Outro]

Yeah, I remember sitting in that adoration temple being like

Asking questions like that, you know?

Am I who I think I am?

What's, what am I here for? What do I have to do?

What do I have to do?

And you kinda gotta take that journey by yourself, you know? You kinda gotta, you gotta go way out there to get your new name and get your heart back, and

I just remember that's how

I, I didn't come into, to Christ, like, with reading the scripture or nothing like that. I came to Christ by myself in this weird adoration temple

Like, I remember I was playing, like, the Toy Story soundtrack, and I'm, like, looking at, looking at

What I know now as the Host, you know?

I'm looking at the Host, and they got Him in this

In this window, and they got it all lit up, and it feels special, and they make it feel special, and it is special, you know? But even if you don't know what's in there, it feels special

And, uh

I just remember, like, playing the Toy Story soundtrack

You know, "You got a friend in me," and I just remember giggling like I was there with somebody

I don't even think I fully had faith yet, but I, it was, like, the beginning of my belief journey

Started thinking something was in there

And I remember feeling, like, way, way the fuck out there or something like what it felt like when I was on that raft with my dad in that chocolatey river, sitting in this adoration temple feeling like there's somebody in here with me, and I'm playing my songs for Him
