about

Feeding off the theme of the previous track this one operates on confrontation of self growth with that of violence

lyrics

He said pull up, felt a switch hiss through the air
Bleeding out he pray to god
She tell him life ain't fair
I tell all my demons we can do it
We can do it right here
He said pull up felt a switch hiss through the air
Bleeding out he pray to god
She tell him life ain't fair
I tell all my demons we can do it
We can do it right here

Too used to cycles of hurting
A downward spiral o' bourbon
That velvet red is the verdict
When there's a trifle o' learning
I treasure friends in my bubble
Cause trust I fucked up a couple
I stumble out of a club
With beer n' blood on my knuckles
Visions blurry n puzzled
Mind is clear from mistakes
You'd think a mansion is saviour
Once you've slept by the gates
Depression lacks any preference
Rich or poor its the same
So light a tree like its Christmas
Cold turkey can wait
N' though it hurt me to say
Cold turkey can wait
N' though it hurt me to say
Cold turkey can wait

He said pull up, felt a switch hiss through the air
Bleeding out he pray to god
She tell him life ain't fair
I tell all my demons we can do it
We can do it right here
He said pull up felt a switch hiss through the air
Bleeding out he pray to god
She tell him life ain't fair
I tell all my demons we can do it
We can do it right here

N' though it hurt me to say
You made your mind right in hindsight
I'd hide my lies behind any time we'd have a fight
And I riled up every inch o' just before I took a mile
Trading words like bullets, vicious and vile
You living 9-5 while I was dreaming of some limelight
Searching for my ego, it was hidden in pride
N' I would jump to all affection tryna mirror role models
With a cold bottle
I was lost in my reflection, severed tied and broken friendships
Tunnel vision, no direction
If I was tryna live forever I could never die a legend
Dead men up in my closet cause I
Told em it was heaven
I been counting 7 minutes when I struggle for a second
I been countin up the clock like i was paid to tell the time
I been dreamin o' the radio like every stations mine
If I could buy back broken trust I would forfeit every dime
I can never buy it back no I can only pay the fine
Think I'll stick to method acting if I'm ever villainized
Drive's disguised as desperation when inside a villains eyes
Fuck a prize, my demise is when ill know I'm satisfied
Until then its baked beans with day dreams till my deep sleep is worldwide

We can do it right here
We can do it right here

Look boy
You claimed you bout it
But now you bleeding and you shook boy
Midnight drives
If he scream, tape his mouth
Knife under the finger nail to let him know what it's about
Crying for yo momma knowing you about to be taken out
Pull up by the riverbed
Then cut the lights
Disposable gloves
And a bike kit right
Deep breaths
This gon hurt boy
You ain't gonna be able walk to church boy
If you believe in something
Pray now
Cause you gon say much after this round
If it was up to me I'd pop a round boy
Be done with it
No tough love, you a broken toy
Little boy
Look
I'm the Black Playboy of your
Western world I know how to things unfurl
I don't like shit, don't go outside
Word to Earl
Fuck a clique
Switchblades left me traumatized
And if you play with my family
Then you gotta die
Look
You the observe the sharks
So you know how to hunt
All my idols served a stint in a pen
Explains why they could never imprison my pen
I can turn a piece of plastic into razorblades
Look
I can have your body your recycled and the lose case
Look
Some of you here are only here due to my mother's grace
Look
If it wasn't for her
Your momma would be looking at you through a picture frame
J taught me how to squeeze a trigger a 17
Louisiana family, you know what that fuckins means
No weaponry too cruel for me
Catch his head when you knock him down
Any room you in stick to close the walls
Money is addicting
Mind your withdrawals
Here's some final financial advice
That transaction between life and death happens every night

about

IIIA Galway, Ireland

I started making music when I was probably around 12, I used to record songs and I had an overlay feature on my phone. It'd let me express myself. Songs were terrible but I had fun, it was therapeutic. 10 years later it still is. I think the songs are better now though ... more
