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)
