No peace in the streets

It Is What It Was (prod.DuCort)

[Chorus]
It’s that time of the year again
Cold nights, no one here again
Hope you still call when it’s hard to pretend
When your demons come and you need a friend
I’ve been up late, still chasing ghosts
Talking to myself, yeah I do the most
If you need me, baby, you can hit my phone
Even if I’m gone, you’re not alone

[Verse 1]
I’ve been stuck inside my head, it’s a dead zone
All this pain I carry like a headstone
People switchin’ on me like a ringtone
So I light another blunt just to get gone
Yeah, they see me now, wanna surf my wave
Did it all myself, no one came to save
I’ve been working all night, no sleep for days
Tryna write my pain down, find better ways

They say I got bars, but I’m locked in a cage
Tryna free my soul from the shit I made
Don’t need fake love, I need peace instead
When I’m high, I forget what the voices said
Yeah, I’m numb but I feel too much
Life’s a dream, I just can’t wake up
In my zone, I don’t need no show
Just me, my mic, and some weed to blow

[Chorus]
It’s that time of the year again
Cold nights, no one here again
Hope you still call when it’s hard to pretend
When your demons come and you need a friend
I’ve been up late, still chasing ghosts
Talking to myself, yeah I do the most
If you need me, baby, you can hit my phone
Even if I’m gone, you’re not alone

[Verse 2]
Can’t escape from the pain I’m facing
Everyone fake, I can’t name replacements
My heart been vacant, that’s understatement
Life look good on paper, but I hate it

Yeah, I’ve been faded, don’t know where I’m going
If I said I’m fine, I was never showing
I don’t trust nobody, they just shape shift
When I’m in the coupe, they don’t say shit

Yeah, I’m drifting, I lost my way
Too many nights, I ain’t slept in days
Pour another cup just to feel okay
Tell my bro, “one day, we gon’ get paid”

I’d rather fight in the ring than lie in a box
‘Cause the world don’t love you ‘til your heart just stops
So I chase that dream, even when I’m lost
Even when it hurts, I’ma pay that cost

[Chorus / Outro]
It’s that time of the year again
Cold nights, no one here again
Hope you still call when it’s hard to pretend
When your demons come and you need a friend
I’ve been up late, still chasing ghosts
Talking to myself, yeah I do the most
If you need me, baby, you can hit my phone
Even if I’m gone, you’re not alone

Yeah, yeah, yeah...
Even if I’m gone, you’re not alone
