Lyrics

[Intro]
That shit mean somethin' to a ****, bro
[Verse 1]
Listen, I don't wanna talk right now
Been caught up in my thoughts for a while
And it's been a long time since I explained why
You don't hear me on a call, I don't dial numbers
So the line ringing, but my mind buggin'
Put the pests aside, now my name buzzin'
Cousins, uncles, aunties probably gossip 'bout me
'Cause I stuck to rhymin' over picking college
Started as a hobby, turned into an obsession, huh
Then I made it a profession, huh
Perfection infested my whole perception, I've accepted it's just what it is
You asked me to jump and I turn into Vince Carter
Through the rim in the purple and red
Dedication or I'm dead and vacant
Every waking moment, I be dying to live
[Chorus]
You see the pain inside my eyes
I can tell, I ain't surprised
I been down this road before
I been through a hundred times
Used to going with the flow
Now I'm changing up my mind
Oh I, oh I
You see the high inside my eyes
I can tell you ain't surprised
I been down this road before
I been through a hundred times
Used to going with the flow
Now I'm changing up my mind
Oh I, oh I
[Verse 2]
This was the last time
I said last time was the last time
Wake up, I can feel temptation creepin' from my bedside
Got so much to lose, expectations on a high rise
Eyes wide, tryna see the signs 'fore I flatline
Time and time again, I feel myself decline, then climb, then go decline again
I say I'm fine, they all believe the lie, meanwhile Visine drops on my irises
'Cause at your highest moment
The devil tryna knock you down a notch
Until you at your lowest, fooled me once or twice, and now the vices got a hold of
Who I thought I was for sure
[Bridge]
I blew the smoke right out of the window
I let the smoke blow out in the air
I let the smoke blow out, yeah, the indo
I let the smoke blow out, I don't care
[Chorus]
You see the pain inside my eyes
I can tell, I ain't surprised
I been down this road before
I been through a hundred times
Used to going with the flow
Now I'm changing up my mind
Oh I, oh I (This that life you never saw)
You see the high inside my eyes
I can tell you ain't surprised
I been down this road before
I been through a hundred times
Used to going with the flow
Now I'm changing up my mind
Oh I, oh I (This that life you never saw)
