[Verse 1]
I woulda stayed with you 'til the end of time
You were like the reason I became the dude that they despise
Bitch I laid with you in this bed of lies
Every fucking day, 7:45 AM I was late for school
But still I stayed home praying that this pain would subside
Please, just one time, God heal my ill mind
I will find a reason to live before I kill myself
Depression almost made me do it, betrayed me
And it made me ruthless, I'm fucking crazy, baby
No need to label me stupid, already knew it
Not a human, I'm a mutant, he was born in the sewer, yeah
But still I maneuvered out the gutter
Made myself some bread, spreading out the butter
Some to my bros, a lot to my mother
Swear to God I'm never gonna fail under pressure, getting very close
[Chorus]
My cell keeps ringing, leave me alone
We're not that close, don't call my phone
And act like you care now, but you never did
All you want is a handout, it's what it always is
It's what it always is
[Verse 2]
Jogging your memory I'm reminding you there's so much I was tryna prove
Rather than go and buy new shoes, I saved a dime or two for some studio time
And yes I had anxiety 'cause I was new to rhyming but I knew I had to try it
Then was failing school so everything was riding on me
Showing up inside the booth
And spitting rhymes to blow me up so mom can retire
Look at you now, Luke, uninspired from running untired
But hell no, failure's not an option, coming down to the wire
I woulda stayed with you 'til the end of time
You were like the reason I became the dude that they despise
Bitch I laid with you in this bed of lies
Every fucking day, 7:45 AM I was late for school
But still I stayed home praying that this pain would subside
Please, just one time, God heal my ill mind
I will find a reason to live before I kill myself
Depression almost made me do it, betrayed me
And it made me ruthless, I'm fucking crazy, baby
No need to label me stupid, already knew it
Not a human, I'm a mutant, he was born in the sewer, yeah
But still I maneuvered out the gutter
Made myself some bread, spreading out the butter
Some to my bros, a lot to my mother
Swear to God I'm never gonna fail under pressure, getting very close
[Chorus]
My cell keeps ringing, leave me alone
We're not that close, don't call my phone
And act like you care now, but you never did
All you want is a handout, it's what it always is
It's what it always is
[Verse 2]
Jogging your memory I'm reminding you there's so much I was tryna prove
