Me and all my friends addicted to painkillers
The Cycle never end still chasing the same feelin
I'm outta here won't find me there
It's crystal clear I disappeared
Don't got no time to play shit safe we all gon die one day
Bitch fall in line get out of my face can't take back what u say
You was a dime but ima bank I guess ain't chase
Gimme time just gimme space, a better way
To deal with pain, than drank I feel Wayne
This ain't a game but play I'll keep the pace
You insane you changed I can't complain
I called u gang u lame I make mistakes
If u were for me I'd know know
She throw that back rodeo
Mean nun from a groupie hoe
She getting too comfortable
Like kids with a forty four
Pop at the popo
Fuck popping ur own folks
Hop in the lab with lil reef and I send it up
I'm getting higher than Pluto yes feeling stuck
Tasting sweeter than glucose that bit got punch
I'm onna line a free throw I took once
I took it twice, I took it tons, I took it drunk, took it with love
Me and all my friends addicted to painkillers
The Cycle never end still chasing the same feeling
I'm outta here won't find me there
It's crystal clear I disappeared
Don't got no time to play shit safe we all gon die one day
Bitch fall in line get out of my face can't take back what u say
You was a dime but ima bank I guess ain't chase
Gimme time just gimme space, a better way
I feel amazing but I'm still in matrix
I feel amazing but I'm still in matrix
See, something shifted
Popped a pill and be patient 01 I'm glitching
I been having visions that I rather wouldn't mention
Look me in my eyes feel like there ain't no point in tellin
Shoulda ended up a felon
Or a dead man
Pray to reverend
That my soul is for takin
Promised myself that I'd be done thinking bout this
Eyes in my notes on the road pay attention
How you tear down my ego then call me arrogant
Actin like cause you deepthroat it make you talented
You a trip
I been thru a lot and that shit changed me
Just look at the star and how they fading
You don't even know but you saved me
Been thinking about you lately
I been through a lot and that shit changed me
Just look at the star and how they fading
You don't even know but you saved me
Been thinking about you lately
It's just another step
Just another step
I just needed help
I'll remember that
I'll remember that
I'll remember that
I'll remember that




I'll remember that
I'll remember that
