Grave robbin'
Diggin up all of the issues and the problems and decisions that were made by all you greedy fuckin goblins
Homie's rollin' in his coffin cause of all the disrespect
You fuckers put him in this world and then you damned him with neglect
And I'm on deck
Yeah I'm destined to be nothing besides the next
Fucking rapper that they find with some buckshot wedged in his chest
Not cause there's shooters in the streets and they're coming after my neck
But cause I'm my own enemy and I ain't been feeling the best
This shit's a mess, my motivation's at an all-time low
And my last chance to find salvation happened long ago
I can't control my fate, I leave it up to Rochambeau
Tried to assimilate; the process was just so damn slow
Got that new rap flow
Not that new cash flow
Everybody likes comparing me to so-and-so
Because they're confident that my content won't go macro
I'll go from rapping in the basement to the whole chateau

One day
Someone's gonna care about my music
One day
I'll hold onto that chance before I lose it
One day
Don't care about me now, one day you'll pay
You better pray I ain't insane and leave you living in dismay
One day
Someone's gonna fucking care about my music
One day
I'll hold onto that chance before I lose it
One day
Don't care about me now, one day you'll pay
You better pray for heaven's gates before you're rotting in you're grave

One day: 24 hours
Want power to the people cause the people give you power
You're so far from a leader giving orders from your tower
But once you're faced with evil you just turn away and cower
Well before you waste your time just tryna scour asking "who's that man?"
He only goes by Walter; born when a couple friends devised a plan
To make a show and earn some fans and turn their passion to a brand
In hindsight I can understand that's when all this bullshit began
But yo...
This was my passion project
"Faggot!"
Now all my homies turned to maggots
Task so big I have to drag it on the floor
Cause I never got no help from you whores
Walter's dead and you're responsible for all of the gore
I can't do this no more
Guess I gotta give up
Cause no one else gives a f*ck
Looks like I'm down on my luck
Lost everything I constructed
Now my mission is over
And I've got no god damn clue how I'm gonna move on after closure

One day
Someone's gonna care about my music
One day
I'll hold onto that chance before I lose it
One day
Don't care about me now, one day you'll pay
You better pray I ain't insane and leave you living in dismay
One day
Someone's gonna fucking care about my music
One day
I'll hold onto that chance before I lose it
One day
Don't care about me now, one day you'll pay
You better pray for heaven's gates before you're rotting in you're grave

They're fucking laughing at me
They're fucking laughing cause they think it's a joke
Armed with the past combat me
Because that Walter project crashed they see my massive plans in ashes and smoke

I try mounting an attack but in my last stand I choke
Make a mountain of a molehill, justify losing hope
My surroundings hurt like poison oak that won't let me cope
Satan I invoke, they act like popes but hand me the rope
They took my eyes
2020, vision compromised
I don't know why
I can't see my future but see through your lies
Everyone dies
Why the f*ck am I still living in disguise?
If you can't hear my cries then I won't sympathize
They fucking hate me
Maybe they don't hate me
But it seems like they're just waiting
For a chance to leave me hanging
All alone I'm going crazy
Far from home is where I'm staying
Busy fighting a pandemic they're just saying that I'm lazy
Ok. Well some of us have had our lives on pause
For that righteous cause
Keeping others from the jaws of death
So go defy those laws
I will not withdraw
'Til I prove my bars are not a waste of breath

They're fucking laughing at me
They're fucking laughing cause they think I'm a joke
Armed with the past, combat me
Because that Walter project crashed they see my massive plans in ashes and smoke
