Wake wake wake wake wake
Waking up out of my sleep
Cold sweats long nights no friends
Beating on the wall on tha concrete cell
Hoping that shit would crack
That I would make my great escape
Having a panic attack over my greatest mistake
How did I get here selling a pack to a snake

I was betrayed I learned my lesson (Listen)
Freedom that's a blessing (Amen)
Bit of discretion I battle depression
I battle anxiety battle my demons internetally
They wanna murder me I cannot take em out without no surgery
Pain is running deep inside of my arteries
There is no permanent fix

I am so certain closin the curtains
On that person that I used to be
This is his eugoly
Erase all the hate
That was consuming me
I do not need it infectin' my energy I do not mingle with demons inside of me
This is an exorcism
Who... who are you
Who is true to myself
We need to know...
I am a man on a mission
Movin a mile minute
Not enough time to get it
I will not settle less
Most of tha people
Will never achieve
Being afraid of tha steps
Look at my self
I'm shattering stairs
Topping tha tower of babel
Are you for action backing your passion
Some will babylon and fall
If you wannna see the snakes lurkin'
You just gotta mow the lawn

I was betrayed I learned my lesson (Listen)
Freedom that's a blessing (Amen)
Bit of discretion I battle depression
I battle anxiety battle my demons internetally
They wanna murder me I cannot take em out without no surgery
Pain is running deep inside of my arteries
There is no permanent fix

Fix me my old truth was
Drowning inside a bottle of toxins nauseous
Henny was leading me into a coffin
Cutting my Losses while I be dealing with all of my problems
Lawyers be telling me imma see bars soon
While I be drowin' inside of a monsoon
Will I be living inside a jumpsuit mortal combating my life away
Ended up living inside cell seventh level of tha hell
I made it up out of it now
I'm writing a better path
Thank god I made it out
Call me
Dante of the inferno
Furlough couldn't even get a one (NO)
Back to my lowest in limbo
Remember tha gun that I found in my first cell
Putting that heat to my temple now
I'm learning to let all my hate go
Finding my finding my peace in my music
Started the moment when

I was betrayed I learned my lesson (Listen)
Freedom that's a blessing (Amen)
Bit of discretion I battle depression
I battle anxiety battle my demons internetally
They wanna murder me I cannot take em out without no surgery
Pain is running deep inside of my arteries
I found my permanent fix

Music
It's how I heal
It's how I find my peace
