[Intro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Feel like the harder I work, the smaller escape
The taller the gate
They say it's all in the game and I should feel honored to race
And I should feel honored
Yeah
[Chorus]
Feel like the harder I work, the smaller escape
The taller the gate
They say it's all in the game and I should feel honored to race
[Verse]
The feet of God where I lay
Feats of strеngth for applause, just slap some gauze on that thing
And don't bе awkward on stage, new bone deposit, my face
I owe my life to the cause, give my all to the game
Because without 'em, I'm lost, my martyrdom entertainment
Walls of my brain I recaulk, meaningful recall unembraced
You hear me cough in my sleep, I hear you scoff at my J's
One for each day of the week, burn each one down in a day
Everybody treating me regular, lost my elders and baby
I wandered helpless in St. Louis, lost myself to the pavement
I couldn't even remember what I was searching or chasing
You said you seen me wake up twitchin', seen your mom keep you stable
That incident cost me December, three more ribcage I cave
The cost of me doing business, my garden tear irrigated
Now I'm too player to know me, guess how the fuck I was coping
Finally sober and it's just another layer of lonely
N***as retrace steps to my home, so I keep lasers the closest
I told mama I need new chrome, she think I'm playing or joking
I told her that I'm on my second watch, some change in her knowing
She watched her son change into something, tucked away for the longest
Me and Mitch gon' crash the car, we shed those tears on the highway
Me and Isaiah did the same, and he went his, I went my way
I'm off to bury another angel I ain't think that could die
When I feel things, be surprised I'm dry, I ain't think I could cry
If mama took herself serious as me, no way I'd survive
The sun just pace in the sky tryna escape the horizon
[Chorus]
Feel like the harder I work, the smaller escape
The taller the gate
They say it's all in the game and I should feel honored to race
[Post-Chorus]
But you hate loving me, say it, however awful it tastes
I threw it all in the flames and I know it
Yeah, however awful it tastes
I threw it all in the flames and I know it
However
Laughing so hard that it's painful, I know it
Yeah, however awful it tastes
I threw it all in the flames and I know it
Yeah, laughing so hard that it's painful, I know it
Yes, sir
[Outro]
It's crazy, like, when you—, when you—
When you really, really fucked up, like
And dumb shit make you, like, you know?
Swear to God
Damn, alright, let's do one more, fuck how I'm—
