[Verse 1]
They don't see the message when I send it from above
They don't get the lesson 'less it's coming from a thug
I say I'm the moon so they focus on the dark
Not knowing that I be really just reflecting off the sun
Over-saturation of every market I love
Soon as the tracks out, I'm devoured into the flood
Flushed out, I be climbing out gutters up into your glove
Gut feeling ain't telling me none
I don't do this for kicks, I don't do it for the fun
Sure I love the adrenaline spilling off of my tongue
You can celebrate with liquor for a little bit of buzz
But limit your aspirations until it's all said and done
But I guess wine is thicker than blood
You drink into oblivion, believe it is a must
Muster courage only when it's coming from inside a cup
Maybe you love living among people that are shallow as what you front
Enough's known
It really sucks to be grown
Friends dipping out really set the tone
Amended ends I should've never resewn
Now I'm on the brink of breaking even or breaking toes
Hollow enough to bust
I think I'm finally losing touch
Time to shift gears with a broken clutch
In a moving truck
I don't really care if you were made from the dust
Or raised in a pack of wolves
I wanna know who you trust
Cause I done put my faith in the wrong lives
Moon pulling in every direction, I'm swimming with all the wrong tides
Y'all don't wanna grow, I get the strong vibe
If you don't benefit my future then beat it
My shades are drawn tight
The industry is my rawhide
Cause I be sinking my teeth into everything
With the force of a shark bite
Some think I'm a failure, they're half right
But dropping out of college was a con
I defeated with both my hands tied
[Chorus]
Hands tied
Trance-like
They say the game ain't been the same since Mac died
Sad eyes
Snack time
Killing your favorite rapper is my pastime
Hands tied
Fast ride
I ain't talking bout a car, it's a fast life
I think I made a pact in my past life
Passion over everything, passing into a landslide

[Verse 2]
Picking apart the pieces living inside of me
Checking the growing rivalry
Between what I want and what my mind's advising me
Couple more years and I'll be packing up undecidedly
Passing onto the coast and I'm going ghost like thy holy
Present on the platter of pessimism
You play it as depression, like your mind is a prison
Secret is well hidden
Your mindset is, the rest isn't
I wish I was living up to my word
That's a scent sweeter than fresh linen
I'm frustrated with no reason to be
I believed that I was working harder than the people beneath
Cause I've been plotting low and so mischievously
But all I got in return was slow facetious greed
Became all of the people that I hated to see
Received praise in every field without completing degrees
Double checked that every single line connected with ease
But failed to connect to fans that digested the streams
Any way I see myself or look at the position I'm in
I'll never feel like I can sit in my skin
Even if I had a hundred thousand listening in
I'd still be down to just a couple of friends
Never felt pressure of this intensity
Maybe the ones that loved me most aren't the best for me
And I've been searching for success like it's a recipe
Presently second guessing my enemies, questioning my identity cause my
[Chorus]
Hands tied
Trance-like
They say the game ain't been the same since Mac died
Sad eyes
Snack time
Killing your favorite rapper is my pastime
Hands tied
Fast ride
I ain't talking bout a car, it's a fast life
I think I made a pact in my past life
Passion over everything, passing into a landslide
