Close My Eyes
[Hook:]
I close my eyes and I'm drowning in the darkness, feeling like a carcass oh my god…
Lately I’ve been feeling like the world's coming down on me, are you proud of me, my darling...
Close my eyes and I can see you smiling, tell me does that smile bring you pain, bring you hardship…
Looking at my life, trying to find where I lost it, find out where my heart is, oh my god…
[Verse 1:]
This might be the realist shit I've ever written…
I don’t got no time for no fake shit, that shits forbidden…
Always been the underdog, the person that's always hidden…
Always had a voice, but it took awhile for them to listen…
I'm on my own, I do it all, Im independent…
Never in my life will I let another man write my sentence…
Every word is mine, every verse divine, but that's expected…
Bags under my eyes, when's the last time I got some rest in…
I don't know, I can't afford to waste a minute…
On the come up, its wild, snakes be trying to steal positions…
All the people that you thought were homies, lie like politicians…
If the business looking shady, I'll disappear like magicians…
I’m through with being humble, I’m done with being friendly…
My kindness ain't a weakness, don’t suspect that I'm not deadly…
I got goals on top of goals I must achieve you can't prevent me…
They ask me why I rap, cause without rap, I would be empty…
[Bridge:]
Im under pressure like Logic was, but shit is different…
My mind is missing, its stuck in prison, ima tryna get it…
I realized through making music, I make a difference…
The clock is ticking, so everything that I got I'm giving…
Im under pressure like Logic was, but shit is different…
My mind is missing, its stuck in prison, ima tryna get it…
I realized through making music, I make a difference…
The clock is ticking, so everything that I got I’m giving…
[Verse 2:]
This might be the realist shit I've ever wrote…
Literally last summer I was down and out and fucking broke…
Drinking every night, into a fucking building almost drove…
Flexing on my Instagram I was the man, the shits a joke…
Yeah, you gotta grow, gotta learn, gotta fight, gotta burn, gotta lose, gotta earn…
Its part of the cycle, I'm here to dominate my rivals…
Shit is crazy when you realize that your level's near your idols…
My mom was pawning shit so we can stay afloat…
But it seemed that every week we found more holes up in the boat…
Yeah the world is crazy, its so cold, you better get your coat…
You can hold me to it, one day man they gon say I'm the goat…
Understand this music is my passion, Till I'm dead I got to have it…
Put my story in these lyrics, my therapy is rapping…
It don't matter how much pressure on me, stay solid like Granite…
They tried to break me down, but on my two feet I'm still standing…
