The Game
Dope D.O.D. Lyrics

I’m racking my brain, tryna see where shit fell through
I am reflecting on my past to try and figure out where I made a mistake.

If I said that I was fine, no you wouldn't have a clue, nah
If I pretended to be okay, you wouldn't be able to see through my act.

Why should I hide this shit
There's no point in hiding the truth.

Lying to everyone, might as well go say bye bye to this shit
If I continue lying to everyone, I might as well say goodbye to everything.

And I’m hanging by a thread, I can see it now, I’m dead
I am barely surviving, and I can see that I am going to die soon.

And I’m banging all these walls, and I feel jailed up in my head
I am struggling with my own thoughts and feel trapped in my mind.

Talkin' bout it makes me nauseous
Talking about my problems makes me feel sick.

Will they even understand
I'm not sure that people will be able to empathize with my struggles.

Running circles in my conscious
I can't stop thinking about my problems, and it's driving me crazy.

And I lost the upper hand
I have lost control of my situation.

Sometimes I lose my breath, sometimes I can’t even speak
My anxiety can be so overwhelming that it affects my ability to breathe and speak.

And I’m running out of ideas, I’m too far gone to treat
I have exhausted all of my options, and it's too late to turn things around.

I’m feeling more than blue, send my ass right to the morgue
I am extremely depressed and feel like I am already dead.

And I’m tryna tell the truth, but my cries just getting ignored
I am trying to be honest about my struggles, but nobody seems to be listening.

And no matter what you try, this decision has been made
Regardless of anyone's attempts to help, I have already made up my mind to end things.

And it’s just a matter of time, fore my ass is under a grave, yeah
It's only a matter of time before I pass away.

And I see it, when I’m gone, everybody cryin' out
I know that people will be sad once I am gone.

Nothing left for you to say, best believe I’m signing out, listen up
There's nothing more to be said, and I am leaving this world.

It feels like I'm gonna die
I feel like I am going to die soon.

When I play this game of life
When I live my life.

Can you even hear me cry
Do you care about my pain?

I guess that imma have to hide
I feel like I have to hide my pain from others.

I'm losing grip, I'm hanging by a thread
I am losing my grip on life and barely holding on.

I'm running out of time, yeah
I don't have much time left.

Can you find me before I'm dead
Can someone help me before it's too late?

Aint nobody know the struggle, do you see it in my eyes
Nobody knows how hard it is, can you see it in my eyes?

I been starving for some help, while you feed yourself some lies
I am desperate for help, while you are lying to yourself.

I had to end it, shit is done
I have decided to end my life, it's over.

Gimme the rope, gimme the gun
Give me the tools to end my life.

Ain't no joke, it ain't been fun
This is not a joke. It has not been fun.

Ready to go, ready to run
I am ready to end my life and run away from everything.

But you see it ain't that easy to explain
It's not easy to explain why I want to end my life.

Take my advice, it's permanent, there ain't no going back on pain
If you choose to end your life, there's no going back.

I miss my family, friends, hell I even miss that pain
I miss everyone, even the pain, now that I have decided to end my life.

Wish I gave myself the chance, now I'm just a picture frame
I wish I had given myself the chance to live. Now, I am just a memory.

No I didn’t solve my problems, I just made everything worse
Ending my life won't solve my problems, it will only make everything worse for everyone else.

My chance is up, out of luck, I can’t play this in reverse
I have run out of chances, and I can't turn back time to fix my mistakes.

I wish I never left the car that night
I wish I had not walked away from that car on that fateful night.

I'd probably still be here
I might still be alive if I hadn't left that car.

With my friends or in my bed, man, anywhere but here, listen up
I would rather be anywhere else, with my friends or in my bed, but here I am on the verge of ending my life.

I'm crying, crying, dying inside
I am crying and dying inside.

You don't know what I'm going through
You can't possibly understand what I am going through.

I'm losing my mind
I am going crazy.

Felt like I was gonna die
I felt like I was going to die.

Did you ever hear me cry
Did you ever hear my cry?

Believe me, I tried
I tried to reach out for help.

I got nothing left, everything turned to red
I have nothing left, everything is dark and hopeless.

Wish you found me before the end
I wish someone had found me and helped me before it was too late.

Love you, bro
I love you, my friend.
