Where you been, where you been I tell ‘em how can I describe it to you Where do I begin Is you still making music or that shit come to an end Guess I got some gaps to fill Let me get my pen Yo Let’s start off with the obvious It’s been a lil bit since I dropped a hit Same old shit like a fossil dig I’ve been missing from the hip-hop populace But what was the cause of it It didn’t have to do with these women or copulance See I stumbled and I tripped and I drifted In the midst of a rift like Occulus It started with a boom in my chest When I’m snoozing and resting at 3 in the morning My eyes opened up like I’m losing my breath But I’m doing my best to fall asleep and ignore it But that shit was too thumping In my ticker, I knew it was something Taking my pulse for a moment or so And low and behold it hit 200 Feeling like a jolt of coke Was sending smoke signals Throughout my nervous system, I Never been one to go and f*ck with drugs but I had a Xanax script and I Was taking that shit til the shakes would all quit And my brain I’d just switch it to off mode This would become my new nightly religion Jittery heart in Chicago I was hatin’ my living Got me fucked up in my circadian rhythm Please save me, I’m begging you Take me, deliver me, center me Lend me to life not bittersweet As this fate, I’ve been given Every single night like clockwork For weeks on end Thinking I need a fuckin’ doctor Patiently waiting for vacancies till they sedated me Laying me down for this operation Where you been, where you been I tell ‘em how can I describe it to you Where do I begin Is you still making music or that shit come to an end Guess I got some gaps to fill Let me get my pen Yo The hardest shit, my heart was fixed Tachycardia fits could hardly fit Inside of my life anymore, no longer part of it I gave ‘em no audience But then my guard was lifted Ended up scarred by another heartless Shhh, I ain’t gonna stoop low as a ditch Ain’t no use in bitchin’ about it When I don’t give a shit, nah I went through some hardship Troubling times had me doubling my intake of booze Couldn’t deal with the real, I was fucked up and blue Stepping in shit, checking under my shoe Years down the drain though Should have left sooner Should have let the flame go Out ‘cause it just blew up like Waco But what do they know? Didn’t think nobody could relate to my pain though, nah I played devil’s advocate Analyzed it, looked at it, dismantled it All just to see if I could have avoided The void in my stomach If maybe I’d handled it differently I was misery All alone with that bittersweet symphony Seeking company through whiskey drinks and nicotine Covering up the taste later with some Listerine Haha, yeah, yeah But I think that I know better now Should have never chased a dame who’s playing games Or given her the power to let me down F*ck that, I got my lesson down If you noticing toxic behavior Then drop it in place and just walk away, son On some Clarkson shit, I’m better now Where you been, where you been I tell ‘em how can I describe it to you Where do I begin Is you still making music or that shit come to an end Guess I got some gaps to fill Let me get my pen I became a shut-in, reclusive Daydreaming about a life full of substance and music But instead I was alcohol abusing Choosing to f*ck myself up instead of doing Something to better myself and the people around me Wide awake at night It took months to be sleeping soundly One second I’d shut my eyes And the next I would be drowning In memories, never letting me Go when the shit surrounds me I was depressed as f*ck, stressed as f*ck Confined to my bedroom, stuck Unable to write anything to a beat, I could see Look at me, a fuckin’ failure tryna test my luck And all of that panic and stress Wonderin’ what’s happening in my chest Had to pack my bags and I left But not by my hands or at my behest F*ck it, I hated my life Screaming, I was seething with hatred Debating on whether or not there’s a God If he hates me Trading blows with myself Debating with the sky, anger in my eyes Saying I’m no longer praying to divine Saviors in my time, they all hit decline When I rang ‘em on they line, now the day is mine I’mma slay it like I’m fuckin’ made to spit these rhymes Cage is breaking, I’m salivating, get the knives Stomach aching from the pain of getting by No more waiting for the rain to miss my life I’mma fill my plate and I’mma savor every bite Screaming f*ck the world, I say it out of spite Grinning like I got a razor in my smile Now I’ll take my aim and raise it at the sky
