Prompt / Lyrics
[Intro] Ash in my lungs Blood on my teeth Thought I was done Now look at me (look at me) [Verse 1] Brown bottle on the nightstand Blue pills on the floor by my feet One text, "I love you, answer" I just stared at the screen, couldn’t speak Shaking in a quiet kitchen Clock ticking louder than my heart Face down in the dirty sink water Whispered, "Maybe I’ve gone too far" Doctor said, "You’re running on fumes" Mama said, "I’m praying for you" Homies said, "Man, pour up the pain" So I did till I blacked out the truth Woke up with dried blood on my shirt Voicemail from my sis, she cried I was two more shots from a hearse Two more steps from the other side [Chorus] I was one more drink from the grave One more line from the end One more jump off the ledge Yeah, I almost lost my breath But I clawed my way out that grave Wiped that dust off my chest Turned my scars into checks Now I’m too alive to forget (too alive) [Verse 2] Panic in my chest like a kick drum Can’t breathe, can’t sit, just pace Sweat through another job interview Lied, "I’m fine," with a twitch in my face Nightmares in the bright daylight Dark thoughts in a crowded room Smiled for the pic with my coworkers Then cried in the bathroom stall at noon Therapist asking me questions I’m laughing, but the laugh sounds wrong Told her ‘bout the rope and the chair How close I came to being gone She said, "Name one thing worth staying" I said, "My lil niece, her smile" She said, "Cool, that’s your first brick, kid" Built a whole damn future on that tile [Chorus] I was one more drink from the grave One more line from the end One more jump off the ledge Yeah, I almost lost my breath But I clawed my way out that grave Wiped that dust off my chest Turned my scars into checks Now I’m too alive to forget (too alive) [Bridge] Now it’s early runs, late nights, clean mind Turned my demons into deadlines Every flashback just a headline "Kid almost died, came back to grind" (came back to grind) Every bar I spit, that’s proof Every bill I pay, that’s truth Every hug from fam, that’s proof I ain’t wasting this new youth [Chorus] I was one more drink from the grave One more line from the end One more jump off the ledge Yeah, I almost lost my breath But I clawed my way out that grave Wiped that dust off my chest Turned my scars into checks Now I’m too alive to forget (too alive, yeah)
