Empty
iBall Lyrics

Cant explain why I fee So empty
I struggle to articulate the profound sense of emptiness that envelops me.

You ain't killed a Nigga yet? don't tempt me!
You haven't crossed that line of violence yet, but provocations might push me to react.

A lot of heartache stored in my memories
I carry a heavy burden of painful experiences that haunt my past.

Can't even tell my own moma she resent me!
I feel a disconnect so deep that I can't even express my struggles to my own mother, who might harbor resentment towards me.

Cut off friends now I'm closer to my enemies
I've severed ties with former friends, leading me to find companionship in those who oppose me.

I move Around If I don't Feel yo energy
I choose to distance myself from those whose presence doesn’t resonate positively with me.

It ain't no rapping if a pussy Nigga mention me
Real artistry doesn't involve being referenced by someone lacking integrity or courage.

We get to clapping leave a dead body on the scene
Our actions can escalate to extreme violence, resulting in serious consequences.

I lost Close friends to these streets!
My life experiences have led to the tragic loss of dear friends due to the harsh realities of street life.

That's why I move So Discreet
This loss has made me cautious and vigilant about my surroundings and actions.

Death in my eyes why can't you see
The inevitability of death is a constant presence in my life that others fail to recognize.

Buy guns so we survive the week
In our struggle for survival, we resort to acquiring weapons as a means of protection.

No choice we came from poverty
Our circumstances force us into difficult decisions due to our upbringing in a life of hardship.

I feel so empty
Once again, I reiterate the overwhelming sense of void within me.

Empty!
This emptiness is profound and undeniable.

My heart feel so empty
The emotional void extends deep into my heart, leaving it barren.

Empty!
A repeated acknowledgment of this pervasive emptiness.

My love feel so empty
The affection I hold feels hollow and devoid of true connection.

Empty!
This emptiness persists, echoed in my heart.

Empty!
A resolute affirmation of the void that I cannot escape.

Empty!
The repetition of emptiness signifies its weight in my life.

Tell me you knew I was Struggling!
I need you to acknowledge the battles I’ve faced in silence.

Just go to show I mean Nothing!
The lack of concern reflects my perceived insignificance to you.

Yeah I mean Nothing to you
It's clear to me that I hold no value in your eyes.

I was Down to my last you ain't offer yo hand and you wonder why Iball not fucking with you!
Even when I reached my lowest point, you were absent, and now you wonder why I distance myself from you.

I came Up with a plan and I stuck to that plan by myself ain't nobody else up in this room!
I formulated a strategy for my life and committed to it alone, without support from anyone else.

I be punching can't write too much blood on my hands
I'm constantly engaged in battles that leave me with metaphorical blood on my hands, making writing difficult.

You ain't give me a dime when you hit for ten bands
When you struck it rich, you didn't share any of that fortune with me.

Wasn't looking for handouts it's shit that you do when y'all both from the struggle
I never sought charity; it’s expected to support one another when you share the same difficult background.

YOU SPLIT WITH YO MANS!
You chose to abandon your friends when times got tough.

Cant explain why I fee So empty
Once again, I wrestle with the inability to express the deep emptiness I feel.

You ain't killed a Nigga yet? don't tempt me!
Your provocations may lead to violent reactions if pushed further.

A lot of heartache stored in my memories
My past is filled with an accumulation of emotional pain and suffering.

Can't even tell my own moma she resent me
My emotional turmoil prevents me from even confiding in my mother, who might blame me.

Cut off friends now I'm closer to my enemies
By ending friendships, I've unintentionally forged a bond with those I once regarded as foes.

I move Around If I don't Feel yo energy
I instinctively avoid those whose vibe does not align positively with my own.

It ain't no rapping if a pussy Nigga mention me
True hip-hop loses its essence if it involves being brought up by disingenuous individuals.

We get to clapping leave a dead body on the scene
Our actions could escalate to violence with deadly consequences.

I lost Close friends to these streets!
I've had to mourn the loss of dear friends due to the perils of street life.

That's why I move So Discreet
This loss underscores my need to be discreet and careful in my actions.

Death in my eyes why can't you see
The threat of death looms over me, yet it seems invisible to others.

Buy guns so we survive the week
We resort to acquiring firearms as a means of ensuring our survival amidst danger.

No choice we came from poverty
Our circumstances have left us with limited options due to our impoverished background.

I feel so empty
This emptiness remains a haunting refrain in my life.
