Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm getting pretty tired of the state some things are in
Sometimes I feel like cutting a vein, just watching it bleed
I'm tired of laying it down, getting nothing on the other end
And people only wanting to be your friend when you got something they need
[Verse 2]
Well now, some days ya kill it
And some days you just choke
Some days you just blast off
And some days you just smoke
Well now, maybe I do and maybe I don't
Everybody says they'll be there
But in the end you all know they won't
[Verse 3]
Well, I'm getting pretty tired of being treated like competition
When the only one that can hold me down is inside my head
Well, what's a honky got to do around here to get a little recognition?
Start to think I might be worth more to everybody if I was dead
[Verse 4]
Well, some days you kill it and some days you just choke
Some days you blast off and some days you just smoke
Well now, maybe I do and maybe I don't
Everybody says they'll be there, but in the end y'all know they won't
[Verse 5]
I'm getting pretty tired of sitting around wasting time
I'm tired of taking blame, when I ain't done nothing wrong
I'm tired of other people, trying to take what's mine
I'm tired of y'all playing dress up, tryna sing them old country songs
[Verse 6]
Oh now, some days you kill it, some days you choke
Some days you blast off and some days you just smoke
Well, maybe I do and maybe I don't
They all say they'll be there, in the end y'all know they won't
[Verse 7]
Whoa now, maybe I do, and maybe I don't
Everybody says they'll be there, but in the end y'all know they won't
