[Intro]
"It's nice. It's cooler up there. It's gated, so it's safe"

[Verse 1]
Dreadful days approach as they begin to stretch the reel
Hours turn to years, singing that's just how I feel
Monuments collapse, looking like they’re tryna' kneel
Line my people at the border tryna' count the ones they killed
That’s just how life takes a different turn on ya
Afterlife I had to learn from it
They tried to start a war was on the verge of it
Then I called a fallout, my mix tape let me earn from my better

[Hook]
Mind, state, and ways
I'm staying on the stage
I need a major change
I'm in a better place
I pray for better days
No more rainy days
This the ruin of a city built for higher gates

[Verse 2]
Dreadful days approach as they begin to dull themselves
Made it to uncharted goals, and that was by myself
Like a book I never read, I left it on the shelf
Because I didn't need the help the pages burnin' 'til they melt
That’s just how life takes a different turn on ya
Afterlife I had to learn from it
They tried to start a war was on the verge of it
Then I called a fallout, my mix tape let me earn from my better
[Hook]
Mind, state, and ways
I'm staying on the stage
I need a major change
I'm in a better place
I pray for better days
No more rainy days
This the ruin of a city built for higher gates

[Verse 3]
Faithful days approach as they begin light a spark
The wisest thing i heard is light shines brighter in the dark
Brighter than a star, wise men follow from afar
My 3 gifts come from my heart, love is something I can’t part
I gotta coordinate
Tryna' keep my pace at changin' former ways
Torn estates where i reside still feel like unbroken places
Torn away
Tryna' live a life without transforming phases
Water weighs the world down, watch the way i burn
That’s just how life takes a different turn on ya
Afterlife i had to learn from it
They tried to start a war was on the verge of it
Then i called a fallout, my mix tape let me earn from my better

[Hook]
Mind, state, and ways
I'm staying on the stage
I need a major change
Im in a better place
I pray for better days
No more rainy days
This the ruin of a city built for higher grace
[Outro]
"Hello? When you get a minute [?] come home cuz I just wanna talk to ya. Goodbye"

They tellin' tales about me
They will not fail without me
They will not bail without me
They don't put rails around me
I never fall, I put the ZIS on my back
Look at these scars, I put the ZIS on my back
I put the ZIS on my back and prevail about it
I put the ZIS on my back and put [?] around it
They move around it, cut 'em up
Goes around, comes around, I had to cut 'em off
They talkin' shit from day one, so I had to cut 'em off
They switchin' up on me suddenly, I had to cut 'em off
Yeah, I had to cut 'em off
I had to cut 'em off
They move around so I had to cut 'em off
Cut 'em off
