Is this a dream or a nightmare? I can't tell, I don't think it's quite clear Until the story ends, life doesn't fight fair And your peers act high and mighty in their high chairs But I fear egos get in the way (Your such a sinister, Tre) I'm no minister but give me a minute to pray Because God gives no free luck at the end of the day I grew up fucking mental, I could take a pencil And write out my feelings to a damn instrumental Life was never gentle, even I hated me Never had someone to help me up when I fell and scraped my knees Grew up lost, didn't believe in the cross But every fucking body treated me like a loss Of humanity, like fuck my personality To be treated like trash as a kid, complete insanity Slit my wrists in elementary school Before it was to become eventually cool Are you kidding me?

Before you found no reason to live I was never really good at fitting in But come on, let me be a kid again Let me be a kid again Beethoven's Song, let me be a kid again Just let me be a kid again Beethoven's Song, let me be a kid again Let me be a kid again Beethoven's Song, let me be a kid again Beethoven's Song, let me be a kid again You never know who your gonna be until you grow up And realize you weren't shit to begin with

We spread apart So why the fuck would we ever restart? My heart's Got so far to go, time to admit I'm fallen, yo But no need to go back to that maneater, Hall and Oates, I know I'm slippin, I'm slippin, I'm fallin, yo I'm slippin, I'm slippin, I'm fallin, yo Been sober since last August, call it what you wanna call it I'm not alcoholic except I'm fallin, yo And I'm calling you and I hardly know How far we go, I said I'm slippin, yeah It ain't even 4, some things you just can't control I don't wanna let this go, guess I've fallen on hard times

How many times can I let you do this to me? How many times can I fall for the same ol' shit? How many times I've seen you round? How many times I've seen you drown? How many times I just couldn't count? I can't count on two hands and two feet So I stretch out and reach for a fucking loose leaf To prove the only reason that you need a fix Is to get closer to the day that you lose me Abuse me, misuse me, guess I got bad judgment When we get pulled over and I'm a fucking suspect You to admit blame is what I'd expect But I have a feeling that you'd rather get chin checked You used to be quiet, now you outspoken Which is good eventhough I know you out smoking Said that you'd quit, just another vow broken At a show, peeking in the crowd hoping you'd be there Early but I guess I'm your last thought You more worried about what's in your fucking stash box Need you to prepare for when this hits a CRASH stop! And my mind takes over, here's the blastoff How many times can I let you do this to me? How many times can I fall for the same ol' shit? How many times I've seen you round? How many times I've seen you drown? How many times I just couldn't count? I can't seem to run from it nor let it go Maybe you too dumb, I should've said it slow I can't support something I know's killing you inside Tell me, "Don't hate on what you haven't tried" Fine, fuck it, break a pill in half Pull out your papers, we got time, let's kill a bag Bet weeks pass and when I'm sober, I feel weak, crash Can't sleep, have to get a valium or smoke some heesh, that's What happened to you at a young age Keep telling myself that you'll learn one day Nothing but hell is what you putting yourself through And frankly, I'm just sick of trying to help you Just know I won't roll like you tryna roll I know your priorities are finding dro So I'm sure this is hitting you kinda slow How many times have we been down this road? How many times can I let you do this to me? How many times can I fall for the same ol' shit? How many times I've seen you round? How many times I've seen you drown? How many times I just couldn't count? Spend nights wondering when I'ma get the call That you mixed the wrong pills and you hit the wall Don't worry what bitch has the most the shit to talk Cause you can slip and fall if you forget to crawl Kick the ball, your life it does have meaning Isn't asking for forgiveness what you learned at your meetings But you sit there seething, mad that your even breathing Without a pill or a blunt, you'd either be heaving or seizing up And that's fucked, we're your family, don't lie to us Don't get mad when they pull your license and you ride the bus Shit happens and now we gotta find the trust Please don't go before your time is up Your my flesh and blood, I want you right next to us When 30,000 are in the crowd throwing X's up But one more lie, I'm not sure I can take it You got a bad addiction and I pray that you break it How many times can I let you do this to me? How many times can I fall for the same ol' shit? How many times I've seen you round? How many times I've seen you drown? How many times I just couldn't count?

I can't close my eyes and make it go away I'll never forget the moment I heard Kyd called me like "Butta got shot 3 times", ABSURD You lying, ain't chu? I just wish he would've said word My phone broke an hour later as the tears emerge I got in my car to find my girl and tell her about it Asked if he's gonna make it, "Honestly, I doubt it" No phone to get in touch, I was losing my sanity Lost Tyler, now a loss to the Xerost8 family Can't believe it, see if I could've stayed in Mason I could've seen him more but I had no clue that he was leaving On account of a coward I hate to fucking death I wish he'd fall down a staircase with spikes on every fucking step Found people to cover my shifts and left the next morning To go to a place of mourning and that butterfly was soaring Loss of an original, at night, I see that visual Butta running to save his life, it makes me fucking miserable but I can't close my eyes and make it go away I can't believe the news today I can't close my eyes and make it go away How long, how long must we sing this song? How long, how long?

Tryna make my time on this earth worthwhile But I was brought up with a cursed smile No demon but I found church vile Happiness escapes me, I'll just search awhile Been crusin' to find my way Most humans wouldn't give me the time of day No planet I can call home anyway So I'm searching for my own, hope I find it okay Not sure what I'm really needing Closer to a god damn demon but even he been conceiving leaving My body for the deep end, lately I've been grieving Dry heaving and bleeding, probably overachieving Deep in greatness, keeping negativity a far Staying on course until they giving me a star My friends keep their activities apart Or in a jar, sour patch kids from the fucking start Whatcha want, whatcha, whatcha want R.I.P. M.C.A., Kyd blasting Beasties while he rolls a BLUNT, Bluntman and chronic Blue demonic like Sonic, motherfucking Philharmonic Been on it since the Thunder was the Sonics The Nationals were the Expos and the Hornets moved from Charlotte Oh! Some of you rappers are just harlots Rep the X til I die, bleeding black and then scarlet, GO! Tryna make my time on this earth worthwhile But I was brought up with a cursed smile No demon but I found church vile Happiness escapes me, I'll just search awhile Been crusin' to find my way Most humans wouldn't give me the time of day No planet I can call home anyway So I'm searching for my own, hope I find it okay You cannot give me any other reason than the facts Why every opportunity has slipped through the cracks When every track is smoking by the pack While you flap at the chance to diss me on wax I see the gaps in your words, got a space mind I chase perfection while you choose to chase time Ay, slime, ride to the beat of the bassline You got a kush flow but I like to lace mine Who's at your door? Jason Voorhees, a machete and the head of Demi Moore But I'm just another rapper gripping my testicles It's hard when every radio single's identical And the full album's usually regrettable I'm trying to create a piece of incredible But I don't feel welcome, such an alien Waiting for the British to come sailing in Tryna make my time on this earth worthwhile But I was brought up with a cursed smile No demon but I found church vile Happiness escapes me, I'll just search awhile Been crusin' to find my way Most humans wouldn't give me the time of day No planet I can call home anyway So I'm searching for my own, hope I find it okay No spaceship, no phone home Just a makeshift but it's gone wrong In the matrix, time to roam lone Watch these faces wonder where I came from Tryna make my time on this earth worthwhile But I was brought up with a cursed smile No demon but I found church vile Happiness escapes me, I'll just search awhile Been crusin' to find my way Most humans wouldn't give me the time of day No planet I can call home anyway So I'm searching for my own, hope I find it okay
