Lifeless

When nobody believes in me

I got no family, no friends, you wouldn't understand

Why my head's in the gutter?

I'm filterin' through debris, got lost in the rub

Uh, I'm head over hills, that's beyond belief

My head in a beat, it tends to overheat

I'm lifeless-lifeless, crippled to my feet

Lifeless-lifeless, lifeless-lifeless

My talent ignored, it's got in misuse

I came from the vibe, man, since the housin' abuse

Silenced for years on end, told to follow the rules

Chained at the bold, and we couldn't recoup

I was born in a chaos, I can't tell you what piece is

Pressure breathes diamonds, but for me, it's egregious

Seen that same pressure tear me up into pieces

Beat it once, but it's chronic, it'd come back every season

Deep in the streets, I've seen blood spilled on the floor

And the blood freezed, the bottom is lonely

Scroungin' for scraps, or my family on my back

My body is scarred, I'm shieldin' up from attacks

This life is a gift, but I'm stuck in a headlock

Suffocatin' and chokin', when will my head pop?

Never thought I would fall any lower than bedrock

Feels like I'm six deep right next to my dad (popped)

When nobody believes in me

I got no family, no friends, you wouldn't understand

Why my head's in the gutter?

I'm filterin' through debris, got lost in the rub

Uh, I'm head over hills, that's beyond belief

My head in a beat, it tends to overheat

I'm lifeless-lifeless, crippled to my feet

Lifeless-lifeless, crippled to my feet (lifeless-lifeless)

Who gon' help me check in when I'm stuck on the incline?

I'm puttin' **** to bed and I can't even make mine

Losin' my balance as I tell her to stay in line

They don't notice the signs, I'm additional, I'll face its mines

Thought us in a beat, but I know I can't waste time

God gave me the talent, I don't wanna waste mine

God gave me the force, I don't wanna waste mine

I'll make it out of this gutter for sure in no time

But in the meantime (babe, in the meantime)

I'm still lost beyond belief (I'm still a loss beyond me)

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ah, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ah, oh

When nobody believes in me

I got no family, no friends, you wouldn't understand

Why my head's in the gutter?

I'm filterin' through debris, got lost in the rub

Uh, I'm head over heels, that's beyond belief

My head in a beat, it tends to overheat

I'm lifeless, lifeless, crippled to my feet

Lifeless, lifeless, crippled to my feet (lifeless, lifeless)
