Yeah, I remember when we ain't have a thing, nothing
Now they see me shining, they ain't really loving it
Oh no, no-no-no
I remember times when I ain't have shit
No food in my crib, now I live lavish, oh no-no-no
They say they love me to my face, but they can't stand it
My life been tragic, thank you for askin'
I've seen too many of my fam end up in caskets
I've seen too many of my friends turn into ashes
Wish I still had them
Light a blunt, put it to the sky, I'm tryna get high, high
You can see the pain in my laugh, yeah, yeah
Demons coming back from the past, yeah, yeah
Feeling like I'm 'bout to relapse, yeah, yeah
Voices in my head, yeah, yeah
All I can hear them say, yeah, yeah
Is everyone wants me dead, yeah, yeah
Bitch, I'm already dead, yeah, yeah
I've been dead for years
Dead for years, but the money still calling
Every single night, yeah, my damn empire's falling
Tryna stand tall, but the weight keeps on crawling
Whispers in the dark, my sanity's stalling
Used to dream of peace, now I'm chasing the silence
Every new success feels like just more violence
Against the ghost of me, the one who tried to fight it
Now I just exist, ain't no way to divide it
Light a blunt, put it to the sky, I'm tryna get high, high
You can see the pain in my laugh, yeah, yeah
Demons coming back from the past, yeah, yeah
Feeling like I'm 'bout to relapse, yeah, yeah
Voices in my head, yeah, yeah
All I can hear them say, yeah, yeah
Is everyone wants me dead, yeah, yeah
Bitch, I'm already dead, yeah, yeah
I've been dead for years
More than just a feeling, it's a cold, hard fact
Living in this coffin, ain't no turning back
They see the diamonds glistening, but they don't see the cracks
Every single victory, a new attack
On the soul I once had, now just a faded stack
Of memories and regrets, can't regain what I lack
(GUITAR SOLO)
Light a blunt, put it to the sky, I'm tryna get high, high
You can see the pain in my laugh, yeah, yeah
Demons coming back from the past, yeah, yeah
Feeling like I'm 'bout to relapse, yeah, yeah
Voices in my head, yeah, yeah
All I can hear them say, yeah, yeah
Is everyone wants me dead, yeah, yeah
Bitch, I'm already dead, yeah, yeah
I've been dead for years
(DOUBLE BASS DRUM SOLO)
Dead for years, yeah, I'm dead
But the money keeps calling, calling...
Dead for years...
