INSOMNIA
The D.C. Show Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stuck up in my mind I got memories weighing
Blinded by the lights in front of me I was so sedated
Lost in a nightmare can somebody save me
Independent, they got nothing to say
.223's and shotty's will blow your ass away
Hollow points stuck up in your mothafuckin face
Homicide unit won't know who remains
I'm out for a killing
I really talk what I'm living
I've been down to nothing
Not for forgiveness
They did me wrong
Now they saying I'm switching
Funny how people be bitches
But I see these youngins walking around with some switches
Never know when them demons gonna get you
Never wanna be the one laying out flat on the stretcher
So I keep a big laser beam out on my dresser
If you wanna come and try me I'll leave you with a blessing
Never trust again
Never trust again
They call you a friend
But it's just pretend
Family said I need to be back on meds
I'm just on a whole other planet you can't see through my lens
Broken brain, switching lanes in a new Benz
Blacked out windows, bulletproof from within
Do you really think you have the heart to make it til the end
One false step that could be your death
I've looked at it both ways
Had to cut off all the snakes
Got to know when these pussies are actors to your face
From the mud can you relate
301 to The Bay
Smoking Runtz I'm so faded
Plenty of ways to end your life in yellow tape
A lot of motherfuckers look the same wearing Bape
Way too much clout chasing I can always smell a fake
Pussy boy wanna try me these are hollows these ain't blanks
You think you know a motherfucker til they show their true colors
Better wear your heart on your sleeve cause either way they ain't gonna love you
Give them too much love they gonna put you under
Been fucked over by people I used to call a brother
Death waits for no man
Got a .380 that's tucked in my pants
Got a switch blade that's in my left hand
Gun smoke will make a bitch boy dance
Bet
In the car smoking
I'm a vet
You a rookie
You ain't even on my level yet
You're still in my optics
I'm sick of all these toxics
Pulling off quick cause I heard the bodies dropping
808's just to decrease the weight
I've been smoking on pack since a baby
I used to go church it really couldn't save me
I've always been going crazy like I had some rabbies
Smoking broccoli
I got hands like Rock Lee
Walking around like I'm Itachi
Nobody can stop me
Sharingan like Sasuke
These drugs can't even off me
Go ahead and pull that tooly
I bet it's gonna be your off day
All I do for this
I've been losing fuckin sleep
I've prayed forever
Got demons haunting me
I can't remember last night
I got lost up in the Henny
Smoked it all away just to do it all the next day
Shotty to the body I can make that bitch your best friend
Talking reckless to my people that can get you fuckin bled
301's finest coming from the underground
Fuck around and find out
We got about 1000 rounds
.223's and shotty's will leave you on the ground
Green laser beam and suppressor you won't hear a sound
You won't hear a sound
