Degrade

Ayo, run that back one more time, alright?
Yeah
Now I'm not doing very well
I'm not feeling like myself
Haven't slept for several days, feel it wearing on my health
Now I'm living in a haze with my shelf life expired
Made a few attempts, but it seems I'm a survivor
Had my feet to the fire, for my entire existence
Life is a prison, unless you live with no limit
With God as my witness, I know I'm going to hell
So the day I die you'll find
That I'm the flyest in the commonwealth
The fires that I ever felt
Got my lyrics tatted
Give a fuck about a Gucci belt, this shit's automatic
Been a while since I hurt myself
I'm proud to say I turned around
A life that was quickly going south, ay
Now I just sit around and watch the world around me degrade
As I prepare to be impaired for all the rest of my days
Now I'm sick of running scared
With my fears, I'm face-to-face
'Cause I wanna get better
But I'm set in my ways, yeah
Because lately
I don't care if you hate me
I'm just thinking that maybe
You miss me around
I can't wait to be alright
I can't wait to live my life
I don't really need another chance to let you down
Down, down
Now I been going through a phase
On a search for better days
Pattern flipping to a labyrinth
This life is such a maze
It's amazing that I got nearly as far as I did
That I avoided Jackson State or getting stuck with a kid
It's my flock, I ain't about to let no wolves in my pen
Man, I been there and done that, y'all quick to forget
Where I'm at and where I've been and what I've done in the booth
Now I feel like Paul Pierce, I'm the motherfucking truth
Ain't no jealousy inside of me, I'm proud of my friends
I'ma live the life I want until the day that it ends
Tends to be the people leaving, maybe that's for the best
If you're not coming on the ride then we're not sharing success
I'm not sharing my press
In my prime, it's the pinnacle
Time flyin' by, still cynical it's cyclical
The way that I been feelin' so don't ask where my head is
I been sayin' for a minute I've been blessed with a death wish
Because lately
I don't care if you hate me
I'm just thinking that maybe
You miss me around
I can't wait to be alright
I can't wait to live my life
I don't really need another chance to let you down
Down, down
