[Verse 1]
Woke up on a floor I don't remember
Phone dead, three texts from my sister
"Call me back," I read it with a shiver
Heart racing harder than the liquor
Blue pill, red pill on the counter
Used to chase both, now they chase me louder
Mama said, "Son, I can't watch you drown"
So I flushed that stash, watched it swirl down
Cold sweat, four days, couldn't eat
Tremors in my hands, glass on my feet
Mirror said, "You ain't built to survive"
But I'm still here, so the mirror just lied (yeah)
[Chorus]
I been down in that hole, I know it feels deep
Needle in your arm, can't find no sleep
If you tryna let go, you can lean on me
We can walk that road, we can break those schemes
You ain't weak if you cry, nah, that ain't defeat
Every scar that you hide still means you breathe
If you tryna let go, you can lean on me
We gon' climb that rope, get you off those dreams (off those dreams)
[Verse 2]
Used to tap that bag just to tame my fear
Now I hit my bro when the pain too near
Said, "Pull up, talk, we can sit right here"
No cap, that call saved another year
I seen homies turn ghosts by the age of twenty-one
One hit, one night, then their whole life done
I still set a plate when their birthdays come
Say their names out loud so they never really gone (yeah)
If you shaking in a bathroom, staring at the drain
Thinking one more line just to numb that pain
Put the phone to your face, hit your fam, hit your friends
If they busy or fake, hit my DMs in your head
Tell yourself, "One hour, I can make one hour"
Then another, then another, that's quiet power
You ain't just your relapse, ain't just your past
You a whole damn storm that outlived that blast (woah)
[Chorus]
I been down in that hole, I know it feels deep
Needle in your arm, can't find no sleep
If you tryna let go, you can lean on me
We can walk that road, we can break those schemes
You ain't weak if you cry, nah, that ain't defeat
Every scar that you hide still means you breathe
If you tryna let go, you can lean on me
We gon' climb that rope, get you off those dreams
[Bridge]
To the kid in the room with the locked-up door
Thinking nobody'd care if you breathe no more
I swear on my lungs, I been there before
You a whole universe, not a lost cause (yeah)
[Chorus]
I been down in that hole, I know it feels deep
Needle in your arm, can't find no sleep
If you tryna let go, you can lean on me
We can walk that road, we can break those schemes
You ain't weak if you cry, nah, that ain't defeat
Every scar that you hide still means you breathe
If you tryna let go, you can lean on me
We gon' climb that rope, get you off those dreams (off those dreams)
