[Intro]
(Akzent)
I can hear Aunt Sheila talkin'
I can hear Ayanna talkin'
[Verse 1]
I just woke up, I'm still exhausted (Damn)
I can't believe it's been so long, man, it feels so awkward (Long time)
Got outta bed and walked to hers, you talkin' 'bout apallin' (Mom) Hands shakin', I grabbed the phone and held "9" to call 'em (Hello?)
In my mind, it's so vivid (Yeah), every mornin' relive it (Yeah)
Couldn't think of Kel's number, scrolled through the call log and I clicked it (Sis)
It didn't seem realistic, mid December, it's frigid (Cold)
Transpired so fast, I'm talkin' forty-five minutes (It was quick)
May have been less than that
I heard a knock at the door, I just opened it
No, "Who that?" (Come in)
Lot and apartment was packed, all I'm statin' is facts (All facts)
EMTs did an EKG, time lapsed
They looked at us and said that it's a wrap (Can't do nothin')
"Call your funeral director, they'll be here with a stretcher" (Huh?)
Rolled her out into that hearse in that cold and rainy weather (Huh?)
Took a ride to the north side in disbelief (We did)
8AM, me and J went to see Uncle Reese (Come on, bro)
[Chorus]
Bloodshot when I open my eyes
Learn from mistakes, I'm wise, I'm not rushin' my demise
I don't intend to let up, only so much time
Sometimes I feel like I'm really losin' my damn mind
Bloodshot when I open my eyes
Learn from mistakes, I'm wise, I'm not rushin' my demise
I don't intend to let up, only so much time
Sometimes I feel like I'm really losin' my damn mind
[Verse 2]
Me and Rif runnin' around, two bad ass youngins (Cuz)
Wasn't for Marion and Phillip I would not know nothin', (My folks) Understand the shit I be kickin' is true, (It's true)
Uncle Marshall said talk to Matt, he listens to you
(Right on, Lamott)
Laid back, but I'm smooth, like Uncle Tommy (Unc')
My bike had a flat, I'd take it to Mr. Ronnie
Inner tube in the water (Facts)
Taught me patch that where it bubble up (That's how you do it)
I miss laughin' with Huckle Buck, my Uncle Len, my Uncle Wink
We lose one every time we blink
This is just a few that cross my mind when I sit back and think
(That is just a few that cross my mind)
Look in the mirror, I see my mom in the reflection
Yeah, it's upsettin', but when feelings real, you just can't neglect 'em (I see you)
It's things I wanted to do that could not do at the time
(Wish I could have did it)
If something's botherin' you, don't keep it bottled inside
(Get it off)
You know what I'm still gonna do it treat it like they still alive
(Yeah)
Legends never die, know Greg is by my side (Yeah)
[Chorus]
Bloodshot when I open my eyes
Learn from mistakes, I'm wise, I'm not rushin' my demise
I don't intend to let up, only so much time
Sometimes I feel like I'm really losin' my damn mind
Bloodshot when I open my eyes
Learn from mistakes, I'm wise, I'm not rushin' my demise
I don't intend to let up, only so much time
Sometimes I feel like I'm really losin' my damn mind
