Lyrics:
Losin' myself, like where the fuck am I goin'
Lookin' in the mirror, I ain't even sure if I know him
I ain't even sure if I

Escape the maze, then I'm caged
It's back to the same old shit again
One moment, I'm on top of the world
The darkness hits, then I feel like I can never be rid of it
Sometimes the beat feel like my only friend
So when my progress meets a dead end
I tend to descend
Into a dark, unforgivin', and most shadowy bend
So that smile you're seein' is probably pretend
The life of a starved artist
Who depends on his pen to defend himself from the darkness that lies within
And fend off the ghosts that often postpone my hope
I'm broken, tryna pick up the pieces, like where the fuck they go
Slowly overtaken by my woes
Flirtin' with death but when I flow, I feel the need to take it slow

Ironic 'cause that's when I start to give a fuck and get my ducks in a row again
See, every now and then, I transcend the abyss
Learn to live in bliss but then that class is dismissed
Pursuin' happiness then it's
Back to the end of the waitin' list
I'm hatin' this life
The brightest days keep feelin' like night
Pullin' myself closer to the Reaper's scythe
But when I grip the mic, that sliver of light proceeds to shine
So when I feel like nothin's left, I look to the pen to make it right
Look that Grim motherfucker in the eye
Tell him take a hike, it ain't my time
I'm clearly conflicted and it's evident in these lines
That maybe I'm relyin' too much on these rhymes
But shit, this is more than just a pastime
This that shit that gimme purpose
Without it, time is just sand in a glass that pass by
But with this music, my demons could never ever ever ever ever ever ever outlast I

I'm lost in my thoughts
I'm too often feelin' fraught
Tryna think happy thoughts
Just reminds me what I'm not
I feel like John Constantine
All these demons I have fought
I'm pursuin' happiness, they actin' like it's somethin' that is bought
But it's not, they say it depends on where you shop
That cannot be the case
It is not that fuckin' simple for the pain to be erased
I miss the good ol' days
Sometimes I wish I could retrace my steps
Back to my youth but I can't
So I'mma try my best to progress everyday
Fuck bein' depressed, I'mma lay
These thoughts up on a page
Stage an attack on this darkness and watch it fade away
I found my way up out the cage

Lyrics

they said Revy "where your head go?" I don't fucking know
think I lost it I been nauseous I been hoping that I blow
they said Revy "where your head go?" I don't fucking know

they said Revy "where your head go?" I don't fucking know 
think I lost it I been nauseous I been hoping that I blow
I can't take it anymore I feel like everything is fake 
but they fuck with what I'm doing all this music that I make
I been constantly on Go Mode, got no time for breaks
killing time to ease my mind on my grind stay away
from the gallows in my bedroom I think it's time I go
sick of lies cutting ties with every person that I know

this ain't what you want to be I promise that it's true
I've seen people dead and on their lips a desperate shade of blue
please just tell me what you want from me I don't know what to do 
you wanted honesty well honestly I'm tired of the truth
bitch I get it on a roll no hoe shit
I just bought a nine and shawty wanna hold it
told her crush it on the dash to the windpipe 
in your dreams I can show you what my life like
well I'm a menace to society they told me
you got fucking problems you should solve it baby hold me
I don't want to deal with all the pressure Iv'e been given 
I don't know if I can take it why won't anybody listen
when I'm dead and gone 
please move along 
no sense at all to wait for me
no life at all, I don't recall 
that you cared at all, to stay for me 

"Revy where your head go?" I don't fucking know!
think I lost it I been nauseous I been hoping that I blow
I can't take it anymore I feel like everyone is fake
but they fuck with what I'm doing all this music that I make

they said Revy "where your head go?" I don't fucking know 
think I lost it I been nauseous I been hoping that I blow
I can't take it anymore I feel like everything is fake 
but they fuck with what I'm doing all this music that I make
I been constantly on Go Mode, got no time for breaks
killing time to ease my mind on my grind stay away
from the gallows in my bedroom I think it's time I go
sick of lies cutting ties with every person that I know
when I'm dead and gone 
please move along 
no sense at all to wait for me
no life at all, I don't recall 
that you cared at all, to stay for me

lyrics - 

 yea it started w the head trauma 
feel their words turn to dead omens
they’ll be dead for it
keep what’s special in your bed 
we been creepin through the night (‘what are y’all gone do x2)
Only feeding for themselves moving solo in this cell (what am I gone do x2)

yea I think about it every night 
All the these burdens but I swear to Christ 
think of the grifts n then I think it twice 
laying in the lake of your ideas lemme take control for a minute 
evil w a blade never find me lose me in a crowd in the city

I said I’ll arm the whole city make a whole mass taskforce 
climb the branch it’s all the same 
a vet to u casuals 
Manage what’s intangible 
Fantasy to cannibals 
telling u that ur foolish 
even tho ur bold
crush tree under roofs that no one has to know
bloody teeth w smoke 
sharper when were close 
I can’t hide your taste when I’m looking at a rose 

(dance through the course of our end x2)

lyrics
_

They ain’t really fucking with me
Naw, they fuck with who fucking with me
Rats chase drip for a drop, I’m pissing
Boy, life no game issa pot to piss in

Fix your brain
Before find my vision
Man, live no shame
Just evolve ya system

Hate and pain issa crash collision
Boy swerve real quick, let the love make decisions

Love is overrated
I think that it’s fucking dumb and complicated
In the end just leaves me numb and intoxicated
Ion wanna deal with the arguing
Done so done with this
Feels like there's nobody to talk to

Every time they talking
Got an urge to fucking bust teeth
Fake it till you make dumbest shit I ever heard b
Never have to watch a word if you speaking what you preach
Fake it till you make it? Get that pussy shit away from me

Let the love run
Let the heart thump
Free your brain

Watchu you want son
Watchu ain’t done
Make a claim

Take a fucking look inside embrace the thought that feeding flame
Let the love and passion be your guide thru all the troubled days

If tryna feel sum
Be a real one

And if you tryna feel dumb
Live a lie numb

Tap into yourself and learn to appreciate the crumbs, fly
Tap into the life you got and live it how you want, die

They ain’t really fucking with me

Naw, they fuck with who fucking with me
Rats chase drip for a drop, I’m pissing
Boy, life no game issa pot to piss in

Fix your brain
Before find my vision
Man, live no shame
Just evolve ya system

Hate and pain issa crash collision
Boy swerve real quick, let the love make decisions
Yuh

Lyrics:

Cross on my chain
But the horrors I saw
Still remain
I don’t want fame
But the path I’m going
Always ends the same
Got dr*gs in my system
Feel it going faster
Think I might d*e
I'm a young disaster
I don’t want passion
I just want prescripts
But I said I’d never be this

In the back room
Baby turn the lights down
You just wanna fight
I just wanna d*e now
F*cking with a main vein
Sipping on this white wine
Hate me in morning
Love me in the nightime

In the back room
Baby turn the lights down
You just wanna fight
I just wanna d*e now
F*cking with a main vein
Sipping on this white wine
Hate me in morning
Love me in the nightime

Love me in the nightime
Yeah
This ain’t the right time

So I’m back
Laying down
Paying for the wrongs
That I can’t change now
Sitting through the cold
While my heart beats drown
Lookin for the pills
That I can’t take now

Got the broken heart tatted
Heart just broke
But I’m high and I’m manic
Yeah
Got some laced up packets
Eat them all at once
So I don’t have to panic
I'm a crybaby
Feeling like peep
I feel so alone
Baby I feel weak
Looking in the mirror
And I don’t see me
Think I took enough
That I might od

In the back room
Baby turn the lights down
You just wanna fight
I just wanna d*e now
F*cking with a main vein
Sipping on this white wine
Hate me in morning
Love me in the nightime

In the back room
Baby turn the lights down
You just wanna fight
I just wanna d*e now
F*cking with a main vein
Sipping on this white wine
Hate me in morning
Love me in the nightime

Woke up today and was like "Maneee fuck its the first of the month, how the FUCK am I STILL BROKE?"
Fuck this rat race bullshit
Fuck the nonsense with The Devil that runs this systemic slavery, God wins in the end anyways
Imma keep following God through my struggles cause God helped me through every hard time I couldn't pay my bills, not my friends or my family, GOD.

I took sometime to reconnect with God in the wilderness for a couple days and have been back in the city for only a day.
Yet since I've been back I'm noticing how absent God is here.
Feels like he's only with me and a certain few here..
Its strange, even the churches here feel.. off;
He feels far from this place in comparison to the wilderness.

Anyways this song is me venting about the bullshit of taxes, also thanking God for the work he continues to do in my life.

Lyrics:

Chorus:
If I ain't love this I'd say fuck it I would just walk away,
Avoid the public often cuz I just don't fuck with the fake,
It kinda sucks when what you hate is what is up in the game,
Anyways I'ma stay doing my thing

Verse 1:
Tell me is it all worth it or not,
I put everything I got into this I rehearse what I jot,
Going broke just to make it fuckin work to be honest,
I been getting impatient with the whole fucking process,
Music is my outlet to express myself,
So fuck it I ain't holding back I'm who's next to hell with who you bumping cuz a motha fucka rhymes are weak,
I stay humble but I gotta speak what I believe,
It's like I wanna blow up but I don't,
Cuz I'm tired of being alone broke stuck in my home,
I just wanna do shows tour the whole fucking globe,
But these fucking labels call me and they ghosting my phone,
Fuck it I don't need em,
Or your idols feature,
I came up in this shit alone and still nobody speak the real shit that I been speaking,
Make a fuckin image and a fake persona,
So the checks stay coming in until their banks are fuller,
Fuck

Chorus:
If I ain't love this I'd say fuck it I would just walk away,
Avoid the public often cuz I just don't fuck with the fake,
It kinda sucks when what you hate is what is up in the game,
Anyways I'ma stay doing my thing,
But I got love for anyone of you we one and the same,
I find the jealousy you harbor is whats causing you pain,
All of these people they look up to me and others they hate,
Anyways I'ma stay doing my thing

Verse 2:
Back when I was younger I knew I just wanna rap,
Nowadays talent doesn't even matter only stats do,
That's why the best artists always in the back and the other motha fuckas songs simpler to rap to,
I been through too much,
And if I give it up I invested too much,
So it wouldn't be worth it not at all,
Made a promise that it all would come together to my mom and she believed in me when I was writing lyrics in the halls,
Now that falls approaching,
My anxiety been creeping while I'm tryna focus,
People constantly DM me saying I'ma blow up anyday,
So I'm grateful where I came from and that I'm saving lives everyday,
If you cry to this just know I felt the same,
The last few days been so fucking stressful on my brain,
But my message is as plain as thank you all who show support,
And I'm glad I could do the same through the songs that I record

Chorus:
If I ain't love this I'd say fuck it I would just walk away,
Avoid the public often cuz I just don't fuck with the fake,
It kinda sucks when what you hate is what is up in the game,
Anyways I'ma stay doing my thing,
But I got love for anyone of you we one and the same,
I find the jealousy you harbor is whats causing you pain,
All of these people they look up to me and others they hate,
Anyways I'ma stay doing my thing
