I been focusing all on my franklins , I’m feeling just like I’m Trevor
I’m crazy as ever, change for the better, I couldn’t be a Michael never
I got love for all of my brothers but all that we do is get high together
The drugs might numb the pain okay but you can’t stay high forever
Haters come through and we lay em the rest
Fuck chasing a bitch, ill be chasing a cheque
You weigh yourself down with the chain on your neck
but i hold myself up with the pain in my chest
What you know about that?
Living in fear that your parents might not see tomorrow
All that you got has been borrowed
you find yourself in a crowd you never wanted to follow
Theres no other options
I knew that id do this for mum and dad back from the moment i lost em
Whatever it takes, ill make sure that Dylan and Beth never have to do anything i did
Look at the size of my circle decreasing, people will switch up whenever you’re blinded
No one is born with a purpose at all, we were put on this earth to get up and go find it
I been struggling alone for a minute but i haven’t been alone in a minute
Doesn’t make sense right? i aint picking up my phone if there isn’t digits on the other end
I don’t really need another friend
Imma work till my fam don’t have to
Don’t flex cause a man don’t have to
Rap looking like a stand up act, dudes
Come and go quicker than a D Trump statue
I need to breathe for a second
but i work all the time so my mind is at ease
Kindness deceived by liars and cheats
so don’t ask why i aint trying to speak
Still ride with my team and we
Still got no time for police
The first me is who I’m trying to be
I aint worried bout them cause i got the keys, yeah i got the keys

I been away for a minute, was losing faith in my spirit
I feel a change in the wind but they all be saying I'm finished
So I cant stay in my limits, I do not play with restrictions
Maybe my vision is different, they aint making a difference
I take straight into the paint for the finish
They gone be talking bout how this kid from Australia did it
Lately I'm tryna escape it's like This place is a prison
The chains have been slipping I swear you couldn’t Pay me to fit in
I'm a monster I knew that from the start
It was injected in my chest like I got Fluid on my heart
They ain't doing what I'm doing I been shooting for the stars
Pop a Lucy, got me shooting lucid movies in the dark
I remember writing bars on my computer in the class room
They thought it was a joke I knew those dudes weren't gonna laugh soon
assume that I am still the same and Crucify my past
This is do or die I'm feeling like this music is my chance
I'm a monster, you can see it in my eyes
This shit is in my blood I'm really bleeding on the mic
I'm a monster, for my people in the sky and the demons in my mind its the reason I'm alive
I'm a monster, you can see it in my eyes
This shit is in my blood I'm really bleeding on the mic
I'm a monster, for my people in the sky and the demons in my mind its the reason I'm alive, imma
It's that kid who spoke to no one, now he’s speaking to the mic instead
This my only hope I write like this is life or death
I might be next or I might regret or the time I spent
Inside my head praying for one spark like the Lighters dead
Now I found it no longer out powered by doubt
And cowards
Tryna bring me down and out for the count but the crown is ours
strangers recognising me out in town, I’m amazed
On the stage in a daze when the crowd is shouting my name
They never gave me a chance when I had the ball In my hands
Now that i made a lane they all wanna call me the man
I'm doing all that I can, sometimes I fall but I stand back up
Like this is life and I let it Fall into plan
I try to use my words in these verses to paint a picture
You wont ever hear me talk about money and chains its bigger
When I think about my past it's so cold that it makes me shiver
I know mum and dad are watching and they raised a quitter
I'm a monster, you can see it in my eyes
This shit is in my blood I'm really bleeding on the mic
I'm a monster, for my people in the sky and the demons in my mind, its the reason I'm alive
I'm a monster, you can see it in my eyes
This shit is in my blood, I'm really bleeding on the mic
I'm a monster, for my people in the sky and the demons in my mind its the reason I'm alive imma

Lately Pt. 3

i do a show and disappear
A room full of people i bleed like nobody is here
Fucked up, love drunk, i aint been sober in a year
Overdosing on these thoughts I’m getting closer to my fears
but they all cheer now
they never wanted to listen
i never wanted to fit in
and so i got me a vision
I’ve seen too many come and go
they got lost in the system
or ended up on the pippy
guess its too hot in the kitchen
I’m always ready for the smoke
i just wanna make sure that i feel ready when i go
if i don’t try then how am i ever gonna know
i know theres some people who think its better if i don’t
but those people are only existing when I’m on my phone
this is life or death
fuck the fame, ill be satisfied if i try my best
another day its no rapper life that I’m tryna flex
judge away i made sacrifices i might be next
I’m high again
but i don’t think I’m coming down
zombies off the xans but i can’t ever dumb it down
they think they run the town but they’re stuck in the underground
there’s only so much you can take before you’re underground
another down
and his mummas wondering will he be home again
her son is on the ground bleeding out like broken pen
where are all your brothers now? those fuckers had no respect
you gave your life to them and now your sister can’t go to bed
its the world we live in
loose thoughts have been driving me crazy
the old me is the person i remind me of lately
i keep my eyes on the road but my sights getting hazy
I guess I’m the one to blame getting high on the daily maybe
loose thoughts have been driving me crazy
the old me is the person i remind me of lately
i keep my eyes on the road but my sights getting hazy
please don’t take my hand if you’re trying to save me
i wanna see your mind i could give a fuck about appearances
i take this love shit seriously thats just from my experience
tell me bout your fears girl tell me what your theory is
we can drive take my hand but not the one I’m steering with
all that means is i don’t wanna lose focus
you know this baby I’m too broken
to forget my future and let all my wounds open
i see the hard working energy through both of us
i wanna shine i wanna see you shine too
i know that you will never see what i do
i really hope that i can be the right dude
if not i guess its back to facing screens in my room
and i have been up the doing the same shit for a while
was sitting here in the dark then you came in with a smile
my brain is in denial the pain is from my childhood
were way too old for games don’t play this like a trial please
remember watching my family taken by police
thats how i knew it was something id never try to be
i had no idol, just people i inspired to not be like
i want advice from my parents but shit they’re not alive
the doctors tried and honestly i don’t want to die
but i’d give my whole fucking life to get them both on the line
for one minute id tell them both that ill never quit
but i just need some guidance to fix the state that my head is in

Us Vs Them

If you not from this side then fall back or something
I spit a flow, its give and go i got these rappers running
I only write in lowercase cause i aint cappin nothin
We’re slowly coming together, man look what Kap has done
He took a stand, now I’m down on one knee with my brothers and sisters
Fuck the news, magazines and all the covers and pictures
Enough of religion, a couple of christians
Just killed an innocent woman when she had love for the system?
Its got me fucked up
How can we trust them if they don’t trust us
and she was fighting for the same cause
Tell me how you take a life when it aint yours
Tell me how you act surprised when we blame laws
Tell me what they know about the struggle
They aint ever been forced to sit in the house and hustle
They ain’t ever been forced to grow up without their mother
and watch their brothers be killed, he’s trying to stay out of trouble
but does he really have a choice?
Baby mama aborted but shit he nearly had a boy
His city is sleeping, they never hear him making noise
Stuck with this feeling, its like he’s filling in a void
When you come from the bottom, you see your innocence destroyed
He says I’m just trying to be great
Fuck that, I’m just trying to be me
You see the fire in my eyes, i feel inspired from defeat
I told my family that we aint gonna die up in these streets
I’m finna rise up on my feet won’t ever give up
I aint out to get those people back the way they did us
Ever since a jit, i been fixed on the bigger picture
They hate it when you make your own lane and thats why they whisper
As long as i remember, the cops patrolling the streets
I guess i was lucky i got on wth the older G's
They had my back and made sure that i was walking in peace
Tell me why i ever would need to talk to police
They don’t wanna see you come from the gutter and shine
They don’t wanna see you get out of trouble and rise
I came from nothing it was only my brothers and i
Why do they only notice the struggle when one of us dies
They don’t wanna see you come from the gutter and shine
They don’t wanna see you get out of trouble and rise
I came from nothing it was only my brothers and i
Why do they only notice the struggle when one of us dies
Thats real

Real

I don’t know if its real i don’t know what to feel
I been choking up still and I’m over the chills
I still talk to the devil were close to a deal
Find me roasting a bill shit i don’t need no pills
I think about quitting they hope that i will
Listen to these words when i go like a will
I’m broken theres kids out there quoting me still
Lost focus but thats how i know that its real
Just said goodbye to my brother
Wish i was there more but we ride for each other
Hate watching the family try to recover
Rest in peace Mac i aint finding another
High off some uppers I’m thinking of you
I guess thats what that drinking’ll do
Spaced out as i sit in a room
With some people I’m so fucking different to
Not in the mood to get out of bed
Popping some shrooms to get out my head
They want me to lose, all i got is a noose
If i use it then i won’t feel left out again
Pass me a pen imma write till i can’t
Don’t ask me again imma die for this art
I might need a mask just to hide all these scars
I look up i still see your eyes in the stars
Find me a glass let me pour up
Having visions of my team on a tour bus
Crowds growing we show up in numbers
So try all you want but you just can’t ignore us
Been fighting and trying to stand on my feet
I only fit in when I’m handed a beat
or on stage cause I’m used to them staring at me
I’m an outkast for life i don’t care what they think
How could i ever trust someone else when i don’t even trust my self
How could i ever love someone else when i don’t even love myself
How could i ever trust someone else when i don’t even trust my self
I don’t trust myself
Thats real now i gotta trap for a meal
Tell me relax and i will
When I’m back to the bills with my back to the bills
No cap in my tracks i just rap what i feel
Don’t switch for the wave
Been up drifting for the days
Aint made shit but mistakes
Face laid in the dirt i can say how the bitumen tastes
Cause i watch as they’re digging my grave
She tells me she wanna know me but i look in her eyes and i feel like i know her already
Feel nothing I’m staying low-key except when I’m with her but she doesn’t know if she’s ready
So i aint staying sober its petty i know
but when are demons are close, it gets heavy
They all laughed when i said i had places to go
Tried to shine but the coach wouldnt let me
I’m done with the stress, its been up to my neck
Can’t escape it, i wake and I’m covered in sweat
Should i jump off the edge cause I’m stuck in my head
and the voices make me think i’d love to be next
and i would tho
Somedays i wish that i could go
They can’t read my mind but they should know
The pain’s deep inside if you look close
I’m all good tho
I try sleep to distract myself
I can’t eat i got packs to sell
Don’t speak to a rat cause a rat has a rat to tell
I can’t stop but you won’t ever see me trapped in cells
Back to hell
Thats where I’m living everyday
Consider me deranged, thoughts riddling my brain
They don’t listen to my pain its like i didn’t even say shit
Ever since 8 i knew i’d never be the same kid

I’m just trying to cope
I’m so dam tired i aint tying a rope
but i might need to smoke
No lie i been feeling just like I’m a ghost
and my life is a joke
My mind isn't open like it was i was just 19 I’m hoping
to fly but I’m broken
Brothers i had by my side shit i still wonder why we aint spoken but life seems to go on like
Life seems to go on
This aint a song I’m just writing a poem
My best friends and I’m feeling like i don’t know em
Can we go back to when i was still growing
and i didn't know all the evil the world had to offer
I hadn’t told any girl that i want her
Now i see it’s not a curse and those losses
Helped me get back up and turn to a monster
I’m on
Remember no one used to fuck with songs
Dead inside but saying nothing was wrong
Remembering i had mother so strong
Imma show my kids the love that she gave
I tell my girl that I’m the who she saved
If you want love then it comes with the pain
I know there’s days i feel like running away but I’m here to stay
Tell me if you hear me, tell me if you can relate
I don’t feel like I’m from here because I’m always out of place
I don’t recognise this path that i been walking down for days
Maybe if i keep on going then it all we be okay
Life goes on, I’m gonna write these songs
but i can’t take back the time
Life goes on i cannot right my wrongs
But i can take back my life
When you watch your siblings turn to fast money
Just to go and blow of all of their money fast
When you watch the people that you love throw away their lives all for another glass
I aint talking bout alcohol
This is that shit that will leave you without a soul
without a goal, without a home
I seen i happen since a kid this is all i know damn
I just hope that you’re doing better
Are these lyrics as true as ever
They say once an addict, you’re always an addict
but I’ll be still be praying for you forever
I just hope that you’re doing better
Are these lyrics as true as ever
They say once an addict, you’re always an addict
but I’ll be still be praying for you forever
Please believe in yourself
You’re talking just like you don’t need no one else
I see in your eyes that you’re screaming for help
I know that feeling cause i keep to myself too
You don’t need another reason to hurt
Substance can help you forget your problems for a moment but i don’t believe that it works
It aint over till we’re leaving this earth, we all need some work
Tell me if you hear me, tell me if you can relate
I don’t feel like I’m from here because I’m always out of place
I don’t recognise this path that i been walking down for days
Maybe if i keep on going then it all we be okay
Life goes on, I’m gonna write these songs
but i can’t take back the time
Life goes on i cannot right my wrongs
but i can take back my life

A Letter From Your Son
02:47
|
|||
Another year has passed
I aint hearing you i hope you hearing us
I hope you’re feeling proud, i hope you feel the love
I hope its you who picked me up when i was nearly done
I swear i think about you every day, sometimes i wanna scream
or wake up from this mess but sadly this is not a dream
and it seems like its only getting worse now
Its hard for me to not talk about you in every verse now
Sitting at your funerals wishing we could reverse
I was meant to show you the world this isn’t what you deserved
I was meant to buy you a house i just wanted to see you stress free
You made sure we were good then you struggled until the next week
Its hard to be happy when i reflect cause every time i do
I get reminded of all the pain that you were fighting through
They say it gets easier and i think thats lie as you
get older you just have more distractions to help you hide the truth
All these questions i don’t know how to answer
Life is hard but its harder learning without a father
Felt myself gong down a path till i found my karma
I was out of hope while the other kids were out of data
When we lost dad its like half of me wasn’t there
I started to understand and you started losing your hair
They said you didn’t have long its so hard for me to prepare
Holding your cold hands like why can’t it be me in there
You weren’t here to see me starting and then finishing high school
You weren’t here when i was ready just to give up on life
You weren’t here when i dropped the ball and i picked up a mic
You wont be there for the time when i have some kids and a wife
I guess thats why I'm hesitant to love
I was young but i can’t help but think i never did enough
Just for you, I’m standing tall and i aint ever gonna run
I hope you hear me, this is just another letter from your son
