Rescue Me
Slaughterhouse Lyrics

So can you rescue me
The singer is asking for help

Because my ship is sinking
The singer is in a bad situation

And I'm drowning at sea
The singer is struggling and needs assistance

So can you rescue me, from me
The singer needs someone to help them address their own issues

Can you rescue me?
The singer repeats the request for help

I was losing my mind like I was trying to lose it
The singer felt like they were going crazy

Using my time for using, abusing my grind
The singer felt like they were wasting their time and not working efficiently

This is my own honest view of who I am behind this, music
The singer is sharing their true feelings about themselves

Ryan the whole bottle of patron Connoisseur
The singer consumed a large amount of alcohol

At a point in time I thought I blew it, doing crime
The singer made mistakes and engaged in illegal activities

I would've washed a pill down with a shot of my own spinal fluid
The singer was willing to do anything to numb their pain

And my momma knew it, she saw especially right through it
The singer's mother was aware of their issues

That I wasn't protected because peer pressure be like (do it)
The singer felt like they didn't have support and were influenced by others to make poor choices

But I couldn't fight through it, the beef started
Despite their best efforts, the singer still faced challenges

The streets caught up, at least we didn't get involved in deceased orders
The singer was involved in rough situations but was fortunate to not face worse consequences

It's Slaughterhouse, cause Shady, me, Porter
The artist is part of the group Slaughterhouse, featuring other members including Shady and Porter

Sat down and made peace over Porterhouse and Pies porter
The group overcame their differences and made amends over food together

Some stupid bitch done turned my girl against me
The singer's girlfriend was influenced by someone who caused problems in their relationship

Should've tattooed the earth on my arm feel like the world's against me
The singer feels like the universe is working against them

Soon as I paraded, here come the rain falling the name calling
The singer faced negativity as soon as they achieved success

From the cuz I never met with his hand out like I'm straight balling
The singer faced others asking for money or support, even if they didn't know them well

Feel like I knocked the 8 ball in
The singer feels like they made a mistake or bad decision

Every time I shoot a move I literally can't call it
The singer is uncertain about the outcome of their actions

Am I afraid of success? Let me think on it
The singer questions if they have a fear of success

I just got nervous, let me drink on it
The singer uses alcohol to cope with their feelings

Think I just answered yes but not on purpose
The singer may have admitted to having a fear of success

I pass the church and through the Son, Father, and Holy Spirit
The singer mentions religion

But I'm only near it, man I need the pastor's service
The singer needs guidance and assistance from a religious leader

I'm drowning cause I'm so tired of treading
The singer feels overwhelmed and exhausted

So Lord when you get a second please
The singer turns to prayer for help

I wake up and my shirt is leaking, covered in sweat
The singer experiences nightmares that cause them to sweat

I'm dreaming of being murdered when I'm sleeping
The singer has violent dreams

Picture a person beefing, with himself
The singer struggles with their own internal conflicts

And it's even, worse when I'm drinking
Alcohol exacerbates the singer's issues

It hurts when I'm thinking, me versus my personal demons
The singer feels pain when they confront their own problems

I'm reaching for my nine
The singer considers suicide

If I point it at myself will it help to quiet the demons screaming in my mind?
The singer wonders if suicide will end their inner turmoil

And if I go, to the other side
The singer considers death

Just tell my mother it was her prayers that kept her young'un thugging son alive
The singer attributes their survival to their mother's prayers

Plus my daughters and my butterfly, tell my son that I, love him
The singer expresses love and affection for their children

Tell my nieces and nephews their uncle tried
The singer hopes to be remembered as someone who tried to do their best for their family

To take this music to the fucking peak
The singer worked hard to achieve success in the music industry

But I'm still a drug dealer as we fucking speak, that's fucking weak
Despite their success, the singer still struggles with illegal activity

Behind the tours and fanfare, hospitals and cat scans
The singer has faced health issues despite their busy lifestyle

Shoulder, when they call him bipolar, happiest mad man
The singer's mental health struggles make them appear erratic or unstable

Don't know my story, my struggle, the demons that I combat
Others may not understand the singer's personal struggles

Or how I'm starin' at them waiting for eye contact, beyond that
The singer feels like they are constantly waiting for others to understand them

I got a soul mate that's naive, so the thought of me is prison to her
The singer's partner is innocent and may not understand their struggles

Baby momma that's crazy and a ten year old that listen's to her
The singer's ex-partner is unstable and their child is affected by this

My fam and friends think I'm the bank
The singer feels like others are only interested in their money

And the way they keep coming back you think I'd got thanked
The singer feels unappreciated

To you it's a dream, to me it's labor, these aren't monsters, these my neighbors
Others may see the singer's success as a dream, but to them it is a difficult job. They also feel like their struggles make them human rather than monsters

And we watch each others back, I guess its favor for a favor
The singer and their colleagues support each other

Sometimes they even save me, when my wrist is to that razor
The singer's colleagues have helped them in times of crisis
