[Part 1]

[Intro]

Empathy will be the death of me before the 7 seas

Can drown a nigga killing me is like drowning a flounder nigga

Bound and stricken down with different people I look out for

Niggas round me talkin raps guess that means I’ll be Kyle Lowry nigga

[Verse 1]

Eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind tho

That's why I never did you like you did me every time tho

My mind goes blank and then that love turns to a blindfold

Apostles can't even see the shit that my mind on

One day I'm Mayweather next Im Ronaldo

(Kicking it) time heals all in due diligence

I can’t get that back but people think that it’s unlimited

I know, I know, that my feelings need some censorship

You think it's best but that might lead to the death of him

I swear I seen the reaper in my rearview

Life's been going up and down its something like a sand dune

But let all that effect me thats just something that I can't do

I been through a lot thats why i got that I don't care mood

I'm careful but my heart is full of care too

I'm in my own head just like Cantu but I can't do

The artificial for my feelings and my hair too

Both of them on lock, but thats just what that care do

I said both of them on lock but baby thats just what that care do

[Verse 2]

Pride will be the death of you and you and you and you and me

Before my heart will ever skip a beat just like its truancy

I'm usually one one to sit back and keep it moving we

Took a little vacay came back with some kicks and jewelry

I’m too proud to beg but I'm pleading please stay out the streets

I turned my room into a studio just to pursue these beats

A death occurred while I was writing this

In spite of it I used the pain to my enlightenment

Its been a while since I cried from it it

It might’ve been because my pride was strong like black lightning

The trifling ones got me staying up at night again

And now they trynna keep me gassed up like mad hydrogen

But, back back I rather go back to basics

I been training you couldn’t walk a mile in my Asics

I been slaving, 'cause my passion requires payment

But my pride wouldn’t let me make them wages at the day shift

Wish me well even if its belated

Actually I never needed you to make me feel safe

And I rather keep it bottled up until the feelings deflated

I’ll never, drown in a bottle thats unstable and dangerous

Taking bites at forbidden fruit telling all the different youth

Do what I say never copy what a nigga do

Me and myself...yo

That's the best duo since snoop had the Gin and Juice

Crib with a bigger booth 4 door never coop

Need it all stat but I still want the bigger truth

I can’t have it all but I think that I can

Trynna be boy wonder but I'm still a mortal man til the death of me

[Part 2]

[Verse 3]

Pride was on my mental state

(Trynna be a better man then yesterday)

Still don’t know what steps to take

Feels like my mind is drifting into space

Its time now (to set it straight)

Bitch if I'm a dog then I'm left astray

Death was on my mental state

Now I'm in the dark and to rest I lay

Now I'm in the dark and to rest I lay

(Feels like my mind is drifting into space)

Now Im in the dark and to rest I lay

(Trynna be a better man than yesterday)

Now I'm in the dark and to rest I lay

(In the dark)

Now I'm in the dark and to rest I lay
