[VERSE 1]

Ok I’m drunk at this party

Refilling my cup

I’m here with my gang

And we fucking shit up

Said we been

Rolling up thru the cul-de-sac, rolling the windows down

Doing doughnuts in front of an old man house, somebody grandpa ‘bout to be pissed

But we just some young kids, give shit about the consequence, we take our past experience and hope we can avoid the roundabout of life and make it thru the night

Partying getting high to avoid thinking too deep about our

Feelings and shit, that shit get complicated way to quick

Fucking around and wind up overthinking everything

So we suppressing our emotions with empty bottles and women

Mary Jane, marijuana a cure for what I’m living

Temporary although it works

Rather get some relief with my homies at this party drinking

Sipping all this liquor laying upon my throne of shattered bottles

At the bottom of this glass, contemplate about tomorrow

Feeling like I’m stuck on the edge of a cliff

I’m just hanging on by a rope

And my hands are getting tired of holding on

But lately I been wondering

Maybe that mountain that I been carrying I was meant to climb all along

‘Cause I


[PRE-Chorus: LandoIsLiving]

I was climbing to the top but they had it all wrong

I was climbing to the top but they had it all wrong

I started from the bottom I just needed one song

She told me go deep but I'm tryna go long

I can't get up in that pussy less the credit score strong

I ain't fucking with a broke bitch 'cause it's feeling so wrong

I ain't fucking with no shawty if she know my bank long


[Chorus: LandoIsLiving]

(I got a) duffle bag with money and receipt paper

I keep having dreams of people I can't see later

I keep working hard because I wanna be greater

Shawty suck me up because she don't know if we'll speak later

And that's ok with me

Yeah that's ok with me

'Cause anything and everything they telling me ain't true

'Cause if anything, everything I'm doing this ain't new

I want anything and everything, I'm working for in view


[VERSE 2]

Searching for double meanings in everything

Everything that they telling me’s a synonym for what I don’t want to hear anymore

Every coin got two sides

Not everything’s black and white

I’m searching for balance, that’s the meaning of life

We opposite ends of a magnet, we push away and then come together whenever we fuckin flip

If I can’t grow you the get the fuck out of my life, I only love my homies and my family and my bitch

I said I been evolving dealing with some things inside my head

You stick with me I love you, if you don’t u not my friend

I know some broken people that need help I cannot give

But you have all the resources that you’ll need in the end

Imma be here with you with no shadow of a doubt

‘Cause nobody gon grow when mental health is going south

I can help you carry the load until you make it out

But I’m no fucking savior, that is not what I’m about

PART TWO: SAVIOR


[VERSE]

I’m not here to save you, ‘cause I’m only one man

I am only one man

And I got my demons

So I’m not fighting yours

And I got my own high points, I got my own lows

Fix everything that’s broken, that’s not my job, I cannot play god

‘Cause I am not your savior, I am not your savior, no I am not your savior


[NARRATION: Brad Cresswell]

Those cans of beer, cigarette buts and empty pill bottles are not your saviors

Scarecrows are dangerous things

Pay close attention to your coping methods

As one day they could be your lifeline

But also your downfall

Choose wisely
