I just went into Chanel with twenty bands, I don't got nothing left on me
I just be taking these Percs, hunnid milligrams, I feel like Walking Dead zombie
Yeah, I can tell, I don't know you, but I feel you
Every time I take a Perc, it feel familiar
Every time I took a step back, I got closer
Every time I was on the edge, I jumped over
