[Pre-Chorus]

Ayy, yeah, okay, yeah

I been, yeah, I been, yeah

Okay, yeah, I been, hold up

I been, hold up


[Chorus]

I been somewhere up the road again thinking 'bout my mistakes, yeah

Tryna not get high but I don't think I got what it takes

Maybe this here my fate, losing and finding my place

Just tell God I'ma be late, 'fore I go, gotta see your face

Baby, I thought that you should know that I know you tried

Hard to keep your eyes dry when you're slowly watch me die, yeah

Baby, I thought that you should know that I can't give you much

I was told my whole life that I never would be enough


[Verse]

Ayy, cigarette burns and ash

Life going by too fast

They don't see me, they see cash

Heart broke stuck in a

Yeah, heart broke stuck in a cast

I'm in a constant search

All I wanted was to feel happy, but all I got was hurt

Mix me a Xan with the Perc'

Twenty-seven, feeling like Kurt

Codeine ain't quenching my thirst

Too scared of what's coming next

Yeah, they all love me at my best

But tell me, could you love me at my worst?

Every time they get a glimpse of me

They walk away thinkin' I'm cursed

This ain't real life, this work

Would you love me without the mask?

Would you love me without the cash?

Would you love me for who I am?

Don't judge me for where I've been

I won't lie, it's been a long road

I been tweakin' off a bad bend

But I will never fold, yeah

Walking up to some more bullshit

Gun on me, I'm 'bout to use it

They do not believe I'ma die young

Guess I'ma have to prove it

Counting that guap bittersweet

I got a whole lot on my mind

Done been to the dog, done been to the preacher

Still there ain't shit I could find

I put my heart on a sleeve

They put a knife in my back

Can't sleep, my insomnia back

Them demons controllin' my mind

I done lost count of the times

They turned on me on a dime

So it's only on me I rely

Lord, I'm lookin' for somethin' divine

Tell me how do I talk to God

When I feel so unworthy?

Tell me how do I talk to God

When I'm fucked up and slurring?

Baby, will you still love me?

'Cause I don't think I'm gon' change

Survivor's guilt mixed with fame

All the young die where I hang


[Pre-Chorus]

Ayy, yeah, okay, yeah

I been, yeah, I been, yeah

Okay, yeah, I been, hold up

I been, hold up


[Chorus]

I been somewhere up the road again thinking 'bout my mistakes, yeah

Tryna not get high but I don't think I got what it takes

Maybe this here my fate, losing and finding my place

Just tell God I'ma be late, 'fore I go, gotta see your face

Baby, I thought that you should know that I know you tried

Hard to keep your eyes dry when you're slowly watch me die, yeah

Baby, I thought that you should know that I can't give you much

I was told my whole life that I never would be enough
