Schemin' on a way to my dreams, I'm
Droppin' everything just to get lost
In another state, got my plane booked
I miss everything, I can't lie, no
But I ain't goin' back, I can't lie, no
Keep on holdin' on and you gon' die young
Buddha say that it's the only way now
All that shit you talked
It don't mean nothin' now
I'ma underdog, dawg, already know
But I'm about to eat up all of the big dogs
Find me in the back of a nightclub
Wishin' I could leave, but I didn't drive
Wanna be at home with my PS4
Time to bite the bullet once again now
Blood coming down like a waterfall
Thinkin' of the days when I had it all
Still see your face when the rain fall
You're the only way to turn my pain off
Blood coming down like a waterfall
Thinkin' of the days when I had it all
Still see your face when the rain fall
You're the only way to turn my pain off
I don't wanna die, not today, nah
I can tell you're lying in your face
All this time, just tryna find my place, I
Got lost somewhere in outer space
Blood coming down like a waterfall
Thinkin' of the days when I had it all
Still see your face when the rain fall
You're the only way to turn my pain off
I don't wanna die, not today, nah
I can tell you're lying in your face
All this time, just tryna find my place, I
Got lost somewhere in outer space
