[Intro: Mikmaverick]
You always think you want it until you actually get it
It's never how you expect
Just don't chase it

[Verse 1]
What is life? Life is pain, I'm so damn insane
In my mind, mind is drained, it's such heavy rain
I maintain, I complain, there's no one to blame
It's the same every day, I'm just glad you came
Times have changed, times are strange, I'm home on the range
Now I'm strained, with the grain, what a sad exchange
On thin ice, all my life, never felt this way
Down the drain, I'll obtain tickets on a train

[Chorus]
Don't chase the dragon
Don't chasе the dragon
Don't chase the dragon
Don't chasе the

[Verse 2]
Asking, God I'm always asking
Questions, I know deep down
I don't want the answers
Can you really fault me?
I was born a Cancer
Read it on my birth chart
Sinking like an anchor
Freefalling, freestyling
She wasn't real modest
He wasn't real honest
I pray I'll be flawless, someday
[Chorus]
Don't chase the dragon
Don't chase the dragon
Don't chase the dragon
Don't chase the

[Verse 3: j. sula & Mikmaverick]
Birds chirp-chirping 'round my eyelids, I be
Out work-working 'til I'm on an IV
Obvi, I need (rest, rest, rest)
I can't get out my (head, head, head)
I'm gon' tell you how it happened, what it was
As if my little heart wasn't broken enough
It was Saturday at 6 in the morning (just don't chase it)
I just woke up, but curiosity forming (just don't chase it)
I guess I wondered what she'd say
So I opened up my phone and hit her Twitter page
Went back in the archives and I sorted by the dates
And I met my dragon in that motherfucking cave
It doesn't make sense, I know, but I felt led astray
I can't even pick my feet up, I can't run away
Tomorrow never comes 'cause I'm staring at yesterday
Now I'm in the midst, I'm just gon' have to lift that weight

[Chorus]
Don't chase the dragon
Don't chase the dragon
Don't chase the dragon
Don't chase the dragon
Don't chase the dragon
Don't chase the dragon
Don't chase the dragon
Don't chase the dragon
[Verse 4]
My feet dragging, my knees sagging
How'd that happen? Can't stop asking
I love to imagine, I love to be sad and
I'm fighting a battle with the dragon and I'm lagging
Breathing flames and suddenly my soul is in a famine
What am I even lacking? I know
I need space and time to grow
Can't save everybody, I'm not a hero

[Bridge: Richlessrich & Mikmaverick]
And if you get it, it's never enough
You'll always wonder what if, who else, where
It's never enough
Just don't chase it

[Outro]
I'm so wrapped up, trapped in my mind
I couldn't find a better time
I just wanna go to sleep
Leave me be
I need peace
I chased the dragon and look at what happened to me
What a catastrophe
Can't be too mad at me
I could stay up every night
I could cry, I could die, die
