lyrics

Yo, I raise the bar every minute
Then jump over that shit like what bitch I'm wit it
And I'm not joking I'm still hoping I can win it
But deep down know better than to even fucking think it
I ain't quit drinking or smoking
My liver lung and heart been broken
Still I'm on my two like what here come a new cut
Yeah, and you'll be on it like a new drug
Then off it just as quick as some true love, fuck
Cause in this game ain't no shame in getting chewed up
And spit out just to try again and tie another noose up
Why so serious yo Epick you should loosen up
I swear you coulda blown by now if you'd just choose your luck
I want it all but I don't wanna watch it fall
It's a pattern of destruction and I author every call
Every line that I write's begging me to stand up tall
Either paint a better picture or be happy on the wall

What's worse feeling ashamed or regret from it
Where's your hearse quit your pain or place some bets on it
First things first be the change you wanna get from it
And then maybe you could complain about the stress from it
What's worse feeling ashamed or regret from it
Where's your hearse quit your pain or place some bets on it
First things first be the change you wanna get from it
And then maybe you could complain about the stress from it

I killed my love and told my life it wasn't worth shit
And thought I'm just a psychopath in need of idle worship
I grabbed a bunch of pills and a bottle and went to bed
Thinking maybe if I'm dead then my life will become perfect
Sent my ex a text saying sorry I'm so worthless
Love you more than life you and my fam don't deserve this
Please forgive me and I pray you see my purpose
If I go underground then your spirit could resurface
This is for you and I hope that you can accept the gift
And wish that when I had your heart I honored and respected it
Think I hate myself your love had me second guessing it
My heart was dead for years then you came and resurrected it
Showed me I got goodness that I'm more than a depressive dick
You became my moon my raison d'etre most definite
But had to prove you wrong show you I'm my own detriment
I'm buried in my shame and I can't ever forget that shit

What's worse feeling ashamed or regret from it
Where's your hearse quit your pain or place some bets on it
First things first be the change you wanna get from it
And then maybe you could complain about the stress from it
What's worse feeling ashamed or regret from it
Where's your hearse quit your pain or place some bets on it
First things first be the change you wanna get from it
And then maybe you could complain about the stress from it
