To any of my fans Thank you for rocking with me all these years I appreciate it But sometimes this, this music, these lyrics They get too real, they They uh, hurt me to say them sometimes but If ain't being honest with myself and And all my fans and my family then, what the hell am I even doing This is me uh, 120 percent What you hear on the mic is what I'm like in real life If I'm struggling I'll let you know alright I'll continue to fight Yeah I know we had our ups and downs Bout a hundred rounds But the fight is never over when it's worth it Just because a couple years that weren't perfect Doesn't mean that we can't turn it all around and make it work I know it's eating at you, like it's eating at me If our issues were meals, demons could feast Feels like I'm walking on eggshells, when I'm trying to sneak Wanted my cake and eat it too, but gotta watch my physique Feels like I'm having conversations with myself when I speak I pushed everyone away in just a matter of weeks The truth is I feel like a burden just the way that I be So I became like a bird, and just flew away when I'd freak You'd be happier without me That's depression, I'm weak I don't believe that you would listen that's just me being bleak Though I would never turn my back on any of you and leave I feel you'd grow better without me, make me proud ya'll, peace If I leave Would you miss me tomorrow, would you be A little upset if I don't come home If you got that call in the middle of the night that I took my life I've tried to overcome it all but I can't I can't, I can't I'm overcome by my emotions Self loathing is ferocious Sad, cause I probably do it the mostest Even if you hear me drop a funny song I guarantee you If you listen harder the meaning's deeper than oceans I approach this Like it's the end of my commotions I gave you all I had but wasn't good enough I know this is only gone reach an ear or two Maybe in a year or two You'll look back at what I've done and notice I was here for you They told me go do something instead Put this rap shit to bed The day you finally make a name's the day that you'll end up dead What you trying to prove Who you trying to move You don't know that you're only wasting your time do you You're the needle in a haystack no one'll find You should climb to the top of a building and see if you fly And when you land on the pavement You won't be able to say that the pain is unbearable Cause you'll be bone marrow and blood So that's what you want So that's what you want Okay Throwing out the rhyme books Rolling up the wire for the microphone and I look Over to the mirror Thinking bout the sweat that I smeared On all the albums I made through the years and I fall If I leave Would you miss me tomorrow, would you be A little upset if I don't come home If you got that call in the middle of the night that I took my life I've tried to overcome it all but I can't I can't, I can't I'm staring at my rhyme book, like it's wasted paper In the closest it goes, maybe I'll read it later Shoulda been a doctor, shoulda been a lawyer Shoulda been something different Shoulda went out the house and found a wife I always wanted children God dammit man Gonna need ya to simmer down I wish things could be different now I've tried so hard to hold on But you ran away, you gave up Didn't get me a chance to say something I've tried to overcome it all but I can't
