[Hook: Red Wolf]

Everything is tough for me

Rough for me, I feel so dead

I can see my future’s hanging by a thread

I’m hanging by a thread


[Verse 1: Jay 1:40]

Barely still here

I’m barely still breathing

The odds are stacked against me constantly has got me leaning

I been putting more than extra into all my songs

But I still feel lurking from behind that’s caused by all these demons

How much more can I do to make sure I succeed?

Never peace inside my head new problems every week

If there was a pill for this then I’d be gone in weeks

I’m at a loss for words I just need someone to come please, yeah

I keep changing in my head

Trying to be happy but keep wasting all that’s left

Not making enough gotta be patient with the checks

I need this music thing to work I’m barely hanging by a thread

[Verse 2: Sniper J]

Somebody told me that I always had it in me

Somebody told me "stay calm" when it's windy

Somebody told me keep your head up, never let up

And forget all the people that hate and that somebody is me

See, I always had the confidence while as a kid

Rappin' on tracks was always a passion, I had to act on it

Glad that I built a buzz but the sad part is I can't handle

The repercussions that's handed while bein' a fuckin' outcast

And I'm battelin' anxiety each day

So I spit these lyrics hopin' someone could relate

I'm on a never ending search for peace for pete's sake

Sometimes I feel like all I really need is change

'cause this don't make no sense, all the voices in my head

Tellin' me that life would be so much better if I were dead

And I try to stay positive but they got me mislead

So I'm tryna stay strong, holdin' on by a thread

[Verse 3: Sniper J]

When you're the only one who believes in you, it's hard to maintain

Especially when no one else is doing the same thing

I pray to got no one feels what I'm feelin’ everyday

'cause if they did then the whole world would be insane

Live in a place where everybody complains

So I try to keep my distance, they try to put me to shame

'cause I'm doin' what I like to

Alone without a doubt

Rap's my form of expression, to them it's somethin' to laugh about

Fuck it man, I feel like I'm psychotic, my god

I'm alive but it feels like I've died when I started to write

Close friends lost, was actin' so suspenseful

Am I the devil? No one to vent to so I grab the pencil

Music's the death of me but it's also the birth of me

Insecurities burden me, so y'all will see the worst of me

And lately all my joy is mislead, so I'm tryna stay strong

Holdin' on by a thread

[Verse 4: Jay 1:40]

Why you still here?

I thought that I had gotten rid of you

Scared of doing different things and then I later ridicule

Myself for not, being open act like I’m not in the mood

The pressure and anxiety combined I’m dying in intervals

The very existence of your being is a perplexity

You follow me always but nobody sees that you’re next to me

You tell me, to give up everyday

Knowing it’s worth everything

Blinding my vision guiding me into a blurred hell creeping

Closer and closer as the days will go by

Finding it pointless to continue wilful cries

You make me sick with the way you

Indulge lies

If you were real then you’d be charged with unfathomable crimes

I’m trying, to keep waiting while I get

The help that might find

What is making all these threats

Inside of my mind

‘Cause he is breaking my intents, send help

I’m barely hanging by a thread
