[Verse 1: Fry]

When life been at the lowest it gets

I tend to flow and just spit

In the only moment I feel comfortable

Inside my own skin

I barely talk and I’m just sipping

From this bottle of gin

Listenin’ to my self pity

Hopin’ to save the life i’m in

Father turnin’ left and right

Been servin’ snakes and servin’ dice

He either leaves his kids

Or he’ll be hesitantly paying price

He chose the 2nd life, regretting it

Now he tries to amend this shit

I ain’t lying, he еven spoke

Tryna avoid his impending wish

Whеnever life gets hard I punch shit

Internally wishin’ that I would just punch him

But I ain’t violent, ain’t no tyrant

I been in my own silence

Strugglin’ to control my life

And wishing i’d just stay in private

Never had thoughts of death

Now they overwhelmin’

Anxiety spikin’

Thinkin’ these pills ain’t helping

But even if they kill me

I can’t help but still be

Lookin’ in this mirror

Hopin’ these walls can feel me

I know these walls are deadly

I know these walls are friendly

Contradiction is planning to tempt me

Don’t let me be a better version of myself

‘Cause I know at the end of the day this all won’t help

Shit

I was never told to stop

So maybe that’s why I’ve seen my vanity drop

A different level to this

Would leave my heart shattered in bliss

N, never introduced myself but I had cards I dealt

So, fuck the shit I felt, I know

I.A.N, that’s the name

I know you’ll forget someday

But for now just say it loud, motherfucker

You ain’t know my own struggles

Guessin’ you ain’t solve the puzzle

I’m thinkin’ about my mental

You can’t take my mind for rental

I ain't quit so soon, or that’s what assumed

I ain’t judging based on what you allude

I’m through, bitch

[Chorus: Fry]

‘Til the end of time

They’ll be reasons why

When you feel this don’t be afraid to cry

In these words tonight

You’ll see the reasons why

The greatest story is buried somewhere deep inside

‘Til the end of time

They’ll be reasons why

When you feel this don’t be afraid to cry

In these words tonight

You’ll see the reasons why

The greatest story is buried somewhere deep inside

[Post-Chorus: J Three]

I can't keep living this lie, this life

So afraid of what gets left behind

I can't keep living this lie, this life

Afraid of what gets left behind

[Verse 2: J Three]

Straight from the heart of a man turnt lion

Straight from the heart of a man that’s dying

A man that’s trying

A man that’s crying

A man that’s spirit is broken

A man that hears all the voices

In his head and he’s offered two choices:

The lyrics and beats

Don’t blow up from his tweets

Clears up his schedule

Records what he speaks

But nobody seeks the art that he crafted

The dragon inside him began to unleash

He’s in disbelief

The anger it courses

In college takin’ courses

Well of course he is

Vocal chords are coarse

He absorbs the source of pain around him

He’s porous

Pouring out the bottle for enjoyment

Fuck carrying the torch, let’s destroy it

Choices he’s made plague his rejoicing

No celebrations for painting his pain

Toiled with obsessions based around his employment

The poison of vices he trapped in disappointment

Gotta top what he did last time

Or forget it, he quitting

Why spit this shit

So much pressure on himself

Clouds his vision, tunnel vision

Visions of a version of himself

That ain’t afraid to make decisions

Identity crisis, I’m sort of averting the person

That did this dirt to me

Hurt me

Cut my throat open

And threw dirt in it personally

The worst of these

He didn’t believe in evil

Until it was her that was hurting me

Reaffirmed my faith

Because I met the devil

And she was just rehearsing with me

Cursed with this disease

Certainly not the only one

But the public don’t speak frequently of these cases

In case this case has been kept brief

Follow suit

Damaged keepsakes and constant feuds

In hot pursuit

Of sanctity and sanctuary

Safety, i’m dazed

To be completely frank and honest

Took me time to come to terms with

Each verse is an escape

From the start I’ve been rehearsing

The reason I began on this journey

Was to document what’s been hurting me

And maybe help others

Who feel silent but want to yell

Attempt to reach beyond myself

I’m fucking tossing in my cell

Ain’t been able to sleep in years

In my head I hear the voices

I stand up for myself, bitch

I speak for those that’s voiceless

[Chorus: Fry]

‘Til the end of time

They’ll be reasons why

When you feel this don’t be afraid to cry

In these words tonight

You’ll see the reasons why

The greatest story is buried somewhere deep inside

‘Til the end of time

They’ll be reasons why

When you feel this don’t be afraid to cry

In these words tonight

You’ll see the reasons why

The greatest story is buried somewhere deep inside

[Verse 3: LQ]

The things on my mind I can’t handle

Shit is a handful

To give an example

My family in shambles

We falling apart

To the one’s that threw me to dark

I’m willing to give em my heart

Bitch, don’t start

I am the reason you smart

I am the reason you have a name

No matter the reason, i’m the one to blame

I am the reason you changed

From the broke outfits

To the vogue outfits

You wanted the fame

You wanted the praise I delivered

You tell me i’m mentally injured

Bitch, we know

Shit, we know

You think you know my life

Bitch, you don’t

You think you have the rights to say my side

Bitch, you told

Bitch, you go

You tried but I see through your lies

You highlight my wrong’s

And its my time to use my sins to shine

You have to lose to win

I don’t have shit to prove to you

All i do is improve and improve and improve

By speaking the truth

I speak to the youth

Come for my neck, I’ll put you in a noose

It’s LQ you’ll see me on the news

Hey, momma!

I’m on the tv, hoe’s tryna meet me at shows

I don’t got time to talk

Baby, go take off those clothes

I don’t got time for the press

It’s always stress

Never in the streets

Only in the industry

They try and end me

But they’ll always envy me

I second guess

When i’m supposed to be feeling my best

I put in the work

But what is my work worth?

Eight hour shifts

Please god tell me

How does the world work?

We unsure, was cursed from birth

Not heard unless up in a hearse

They want LQ’s verse

They don’t care when Logan hurts

Used to play my songs in classes

Now I’m preforming on stages to masses

I cannot fuck with the past me

Used to study Kendrick’s work

Up in the backseat

Cops tryna pat me down

My own dad ain’t see me in a cap and gown

He capped

My family clapped I got the crown

I do this for Bema to make her proud

I’m making this music, they sing it loud

Now that i’m eighteen

I’m the man of my city repping Chi-Town

Never used to winning

Never getting pity

Put the city on my back ‘cause shit get’s windy

That is a fact

I went on a different path

And that’s why they laughed

Spending my money

I’m making it back

Askin’ Bema can you still see me?

I look to the sky

Hoping she hear me

And lead me through all my life

I keep her strength inside

To keep head high

Never letting pride get the best of my mind

Let go all of the evil

I still hold you close

I’d kill souls just to hear you one last time
